Book 47: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Wow. This book totally owned my soul. Even though I got spoiled pretty heavily before I’d finished.

It’s nice to see that this book was a little more lighthearted than some of the previous books in the series. And Professor Slughorn was a really, really cool character. Snape? I haven’t quite made up my mind. He still seems pretty ambiguous as a character.

I could really have done without the romance bits in the books. A lot of them felt a little superfluous, though the bits that involved Harry were sweet and cute.

Overall, an excellent read–for the other three of you out there who have not read these books.
