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

It is Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As Voldermort's sinister forces amass and a spirit of gloom and fear sweeps the land, it becomes more and more clear to Harry that he will soon have to confront his destiny. But is he up to the challenges ahead of him? And what's more, will he be able to survive them?

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince must be one of my most favourite Harry Potter books. I know I said that before in my other reviews, but I truly feel that this is the one. It has all the same themes, but in this book, they go deeper, both in the words and yourself.

I thought that it was so clever of J.L. Rowling to not make Harry go out there and try to kill Voldermort by force, but let him figure out the pieces of his enemy, through memories, then act upon them. This is something very few books have, patience, as in most, the character would go and try to finish the job quickly.

The characters are growing up as well, and crushes and relationships start to break up Hermione, Ron and Harry. They came back together near the end, but its kinda sad and funny to see them grow up.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is fun, mystical and thrilling, with hints of mystery, action and magic. This book is for everyone, and I mean absolutely everyone.

This book was very exciting. There was romance, action, and depressing moments. It was very spine tingling. Some parts were a little scary, but others were just as happy. Even though someone dies, it is one of the best books I have ever read. My favorite part was when Ron was under a spell to love Ramilda Vane and his girlfriend, Lavendar Brown, got jealous.

Harry Potter Rocks! First of all, Harry Potter is really awesome! Also, the Half Blood Prince is the best one yet! One part I really enjoyed in this book that wasn't in the other five books was the romance that went on. I think Ginny will stay with Harry in the seventh book. Also, I really want Ron and Hermione to become boyfriend and girlfriend! In the book, you can really tell they like each other. Also, the horcruxes really intrigued me. I think Harry might be one of Voldemort's horcruxes. This book is a must read.

Harry Potter is in his 6th year at Hogwarts and the Headmaster is acting very different indeed. He takes Harry along with him on a trip over the summer to try and pursuade an old teacher to come back and teach. He also wants Harry to come to his office in the evenings to have privates lessons that go over parts of the Dark Lords life. Among this Harry has a new crush and Ron and Hermione have a newfound relationship. And Harry will lose the only person who made him feel safe even though the Dark Lord was back and be left on his own to fight the Dark Lord.

The sixth book of the Harry Potter series complicates things even more as Harry learns more about Voldemort's past. There's also a lot more romance and flirting, which adds humor to this dark story. I loved the Horcruxes; it was such a creative idea from J.K. Rowling :] I can't wait for the seventh book!

The sixth book. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was well written. The more adult writing in the book captured me, as well as the equal amount of legnth of the book. It was so hard to put down, I finished it in six days. I am a big reader and I wanted to find out who died, but when I did I cried for the person who died. I wont spoil the ending for you readers, so youll have to read it and find out for yourself.

being a harry potter freak I of course loved this book. but this book was in fact my favorite book out of all 6. the end is heart-wrenching but over all its ver amusing. harry and his friends go back to hogwarts to kick some more evil-scum butt! go harry! the things we learned about certain characters in this book was immensly surprising, and at the same time its confusing......... its a great book, and if you haven't already, you should go out and read it.

This book is about Harry's sixth yea at Howgwarts school of witch craft and wizardy the advenutres that await him. Professor Dumbldore requests that harry take priavet lessons with him about lord voldermorts childhood so as to gain a better understanding of the preent day lord voldermort and Snape gets the post as the dark arts teacher. Meanwhile Harry discovers a friend the half blood prince whom harry befriends in an old potions book. I dont want to ruin it for anyone so I won't say anything more about what happens except expect surprises shocks and sadness! This harry potter ook is different formm it's predesscessors in that it loses some of its innocence. Ms.Rowling makes it clear that as each book comes out Harry gets older and his world becomes more complicated. This book is fantastic!

this book is about Harry's 6th year at Hogwarts. This book includes shocking news. In this book Harry find an old book with the name the half-blood prince in it. it contains cheats and shortcuts so Harry gets good grades. Harry goes on a quest to find parts of Tom Riddles's soul. The one 'they' suspect turns out to be a fake. When they get back to Hogwarts they have to fight. I don't want to tell the shocking ending but if you like reading about harry in love, this is a book for you.
