I need a summary of HBP

[mysid]

My brother (the Philistine) has not read any of the HP books, but he has seen the movies. He's a reader by nature, but he's been too busy with law school for much recreational reading. ANYWAY, now he's done school, and after trying (unsuccessfully) to get me to tell him what happens in DH, he has promised to read it.

But first, we need to get him up to speed. The deal I made with him was that after he went to see the movie-OotP, I would summarize HBP for him (my least favorite of the 7 books so I won't make him read it), and then he would read DH for himself.

I could summarize HBP for him myself, but I do have a tendency to give too much detail, and I don't want to bore him to tears. I'm sure someone, somewhere, has posted a good summary of HBP which gives all the pertinent (i.e. need to know for DH) details. Could one of you kind people point me to it? Thanks!

*shakes fist* Stupid law school! Heh, just kidding, and seriously, gotta admire the people who are dedicated enough to go to law school.

Mine too. Order of the Phoenix kicked its ass, and I wasn't sure OotP would ever be able to kick anything...

And lastly, for your summary...WIKIPEDIA!!! I made a feeble attempt to reread HBP which didn't work and the day before the 7th book came out, I looked it up there and read it. It covers a lot of main points and has some interesting trivia as well.

Thanks! I looked over the Wikipedia summary, and I think I'll make a copy of it, add a few details, and pass it along to him. (I don't want to send him the link because he might get the bright idea to read Wikipedia's summary of DH as well--and I really want him to read the book!)
