Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

My Rating: 5 stars

**If you haven’t read previous books, don’t read!**


In this sixth installment of Harry Potter’s life, the war with Voldemort is not going well at all. People check the newspapers daily to see if they recognize any names. Even the Muggle governments notice something’s not right. Dumbledore is taking many prolonged absents from Hogwarts. Also, the Order of the Phoenix is suffering loses.

But life still goes on. Teenagers in Hogwarts flirt, fight and fall in love. Sixth year students are beginning to learn to Apparate. The Weasley twins are expanding their joke shop business. Harry receives help from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince’s Potions book for his class. With Dumbledore, and the help of Ron and Hermione, Harry will search and find the true, full and difficult story of Lord Voldemort when he was younger, hopefully to find what could possibly defeat him in the end.
