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

The war against Voldemort is not going well: even Muggle governments are noticing. Ron scans the obituary pages of The Daily Prophet looking for familiar names. Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts for long stretches of time, and the Order of the Phoenix has already suffered losses.

And yet...

As in all wars, life goes on. Sixth-year students learn to Apparate--and lose a few eyebrows in the process. The Weasley twins expand their business. Teenagers flirt and fight and fall in love. Classes are never straightforward, though Harry receives some extraordinary help from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince.

So it's the home front that takes center stage in the multilayered sixth installment of the story of Harry Potter. Here at Hogwarts, Harry will search for the full and complex story of the boy who became Lord Voldemort--and thereby find what may be his only vulnerability.

Danni's Review

J. K. did it again! This will change the way you look at the series. Voldemort is alive and in the wizarding world. The Death Eaters evil deeds are spreading and threatening the muggle world. Dementors are everywhere stealing hope, light and happiness. The questions about about Harry and whether...

Harry Potter Book 6 review

It was pretty brand new looking cover and all. I guess I would have liked the words...read once or like new because it had a couple of dings on the top part of the book...(not the cover) but on the top of the pages. My persnickety son noticed it, too. All in all it was a nice deal.

Suspenseful sixth

The Half-Blood Prince is somewhat of a build up to The Deathly Hallows. There is a great deal of suspense throughout the book, making the book a very fast read. From the beginning, this thrilling adventure entangles you and never lets you go until the very last page. Also in this book,...

Brilliant Novel, Yet the Darkest Harry Potter Book Thus Far

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince follows 16-year-old Harry Potter through his sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The book is darker than any of the prequels. The book begins on a serious note. The new Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour warns the muggle Prime...

An incredible novel

With every Harry Potter installment, I find myself saying the new installment is my favorite of the series so far. Book 6 is no exception, and I think it is a credit to the author. The hopelessness and despair have increased in order for the readers to feel the plight of the characters....

Excellent

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is the sixth book of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Harry is a more mature character in this book and spends the most time with Dumbledore that he has in any other book. Harry and Dumbledore make progress against Voldemort, but, at the same...

Pleasantly surprised!

It's been difficult for me to get into the Harry Potter books, having already seen all of the movies to this point. However, when the theatrical release of this film was pushed back into 2009, I thought now was a good time to try again with this one. THAN GOODNESS I DID! I've even started going...

Gotta love HP!

If you are even browsing this page then it is pointless to read any reviews. That means, you are already a fan and know how spell-binding the series is. Every HP book is AMAZING! A great read for all ages.

A little bit of a dissapointment compared to Order

This book was good, But a lot less dark, and not as haunting. Also we are told that Voldemort's growing, but there's no sense of fear other than in London,and some parts of Europe. I mean, what about the other 6 continents. He's not taking over North America, or Asia.
