The Review:

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is another thick book that keeps growing more and more exciting story-wise, and you can't put it down and don't want to stop reading until you've figured out what's going to happen.

It's bleak at times, but the flashbacks into the past, where we learn so much about Voldemort, are fascinating and compelling. Danger lurks at every corner. Everything appears to be in jeopardy, and you have no idea what will happen next. Nothing seemed to be safe in these pages.

There's a little romance here, but there's also a lot of tension. It's a fairly large book. There are a lot of pages to read and I was stuck in some personal stuff but, with dedication, I was able to read it over the course of four days.

This novel has so many narrative threads that are stretched out like a spider's web, but even with that, the pace does not slow down from the first to the last page. As with the preceding volumes in the series, there are several twists and turns. I can't say anything without giving anything away but this is unquestionably a fantastic book.

Even when things are sad, terrifying, or serious, J.K. Rowling manages to weave comedy throughout the plot, which is one of the series' greatest delights. It always feels like a gift from the author, with the little hints to Harry's blossoming fondness for Ginny, and the way Fred and George manage to smuggle in one-liners even while mayhem erupts around them.

This novel, maybe more than any other, devotes a significant amount of time to character development. This is the novel in which Hermione transforms into one of fiction's great female characters, and Harry stops relying on fortuitous events and begins to make his own decisions. In addition, it's a fantastic mystery narrative!

Despite being among the larger books in the series, it is also one of the greatest. My favorite is "The Goblet of Fire," but this one is a close second. I'm not sure whether it was intentional, but the characters' maturation as they get older is intriguing. One year signifies virtually little to someone of "mature" age.

However, in terms of attitude, fortitude, and action, the gap between 16 and 17 may be tremendous. It appears that the voracity of obstacles grows more tough and distressing with each passing year. This book has the most of each attribute by far. It was also a relief because I wasn't happy with its predecessor, Order of the Phoenix.

This is one book that deserves more than a thousand points out of a hundred. Simply told, this is a wonderful book. It's simply jam-packed with facts regarding Tom Riddle and everything else Voldemort-related. So, if you want to learn more about Tom Riddle's past, READ THIS BOOK. However, your brain may burst. Plus, something incredibly tragic will occur that will undoubtedly cause you to cry.

Final Thoughts:

Motivations become obvious in this novel, alliances are destroyed, and the stakes are raised. This book has two very significant story aspects. One is a major death at the end of the novel, which I will not reveal to new readers. The other is the backstory of Tom Riddle and how he became Lord Voldemort. You learn about Voldemort's biological mother and her dreadful family, Tom Riddle, Sr., and his family, and how Voldemort utilized Dark Magic to extend his life. This novel has a lot of intriguing and unusual events.

After re-reading this series and the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, I realized how important and useful these books are for the children and the coming generations and that is why I must recommend that you should purchase hardcover books to pass down to your children, grandchildren, and friends, as well as to retain for yourself. These stories are worth revisiting!

BUY THE BOOKS; complete sets are available. It's well worth the money and makes excellent gifts for children and enthusiasts of all ages.

Synopsis:

“There it was, hanging in the sky above the school: the blazing green skull with a serpent tongue, the mark Death Eaters left behind whenever they had entered a building... wherever they had murdered...

When Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shriveled, but he does not reveal why. Secrets and suspicion are spreading through the Wizarding World, and Hogwarts itself is not safe. Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: there is a Death Eater amongst them. Harry will need powerful magic and true friends as he explores Voldemort's darkest secrets and Dumbledore prepares him to face his destiny...

Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter eBooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism to readers of all ages. With its message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new readers.”
