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

Reader reviewed by Meglyssa

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 is an amzing book could it be any better, Snape is still on the good side by the way. He must have made a deal with dumbledore beacuse just before he kills him there is revulsion in his eyes. And dumbledore was pleading with him to kill him not spare his life

Some people may know who dies in this series, but for those who don't know, i'll keep it a secret. Another great written book by J.K. Rowling! She explains so many details, that it feels as though tour in the book, playing a part as one of the characters! You gotta read it! (Well after the first 5 books)

PS the movies don't count!

In this latest installment of J.K. Rowling's series, she manages to make her already flawless prose even better. The character of Dumbledore is wittier than ever with a gentle sarcasm that is at its best when he talks to Harry's guardians. With some YA novels, the authors tend to write on and on when they could have gotten to the point fifty pages ago, but in this case, the book needs every page it has-it is not too long.

The book is more emotionally heartwrenching than the others. There is a death-that's not news, but who it is and the impact on Harry is something that will be felt for years (and books) to come. I think this is the best written one in the series.
