Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Harry Potter, #6)

One of the best books in the series I think.

I absolutely loved the entire HP series.

Almost over. I don't think i can handle the suspense of wondering what is going to happen.

dY~dY~dY~dY~dY~ The best of all the seven books

It only gets better as the suspense builds in this terrific, mysterious tale of possible double-crossing and virtuousness that delivers the best emotional mix of good versus evil on both a meta- and micro- scale since the Allies versus the Axis in the Second World War.

ok but i miss dumbledore!!!! :(

Definitely the least bad of all the books. Two reasons: the youtube video, and the insane new adverbs she managed to come up with. Consolingly.

series of my childhood!

First of all, Im in love with these books since I was 12 years old, and I got my first book for Christmas. I was hooked then, and I am still now, several years, books, movies and theme parks later. Once piece of me will always dream about this magical world, and Hogwarts will always be my home. Having said that, this is my least favorite book. I enjoyed learning about Voldemort's past, but it took way too much of the book and the school year and it wasn't that much worth it. The other characters, Ron and Hermione, are flat and lack of any flavor; they just leave Harry alone and submerge themselves in a teen world filled of hormones. I really didn't like how they suddenly, form one book to another, are so superficial and blind, and cant care less about Harry and Voldemort. To me it just doesn't make any sense. I cried a lot at the end of this book. I know this had to happen, but it still huts when I think about it. But I knew the true from the beginning, I knew it couldn't be as Rowling was showing us and who was actually an allied in disguise. If you are expecting a book full of action, this is definitively not it. But this need to happen in order to give room to the final book, the one that changes everything. I just hoped it could have been more fun to read.

I forget how excellent this book is until I read it. My first time, I was up until 3am on a Saturday night finishing it and the ending just gutted me. It turned everything I believed about these characters upside-down on its head. For weeks... months... years, the debate raged: whose side is Snape really on? The book itself is terrific, a cracking good read. It moves fast. It brings in elements of adolescence in unique ways, but more importantly, it resonates with grief at the end. If you've ever lost someone, you'll completely identify with Harry's shock, horror, guilt, and ultimate feeling that the death was senseless and wasteful. That is the message Rowling imparts to her readers -- that every loss is devastating, but that unfortunately, death is a part of life... and it's those who face it with courage who are the greatest heroes.
