Many of you will attempt to avert your eyes if you have not read the book, so let me assure you right now: I will not give away anything of the plot in this post, but I must talk about my thoughts on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, of which I consider to be J.K. Rowlings best book yet.
The read was very fast. I continue to be impressed with the ability Rowlings has to follow the students as they grow. They are 16 in this book and undertones of sex are apparent, as well as drinking. The kids have stronger vocabularies and more adult problems. The history of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was covered in a very clever way, and nothing will prepare you for the climax...which by the flow of the book, I really didn't think would ever happen.
The way the sixth installment ended, I am left of believe that there is a possibility of more than seven books in the series. It is clear that the sixth book feels more like Book 7, Part 1. But that's just my take.
Here are my favorites of the book in order:
1. Book 6
2. Book 3
3. Book 4
4. Book 1
5. Book 2
6. Book 5
Harry Potter frickin' ruless!!
