Harry Potter: Year 6

** WARNING - SPOILERS - WARNING - SPOILERS **

Well it took me about a week to finally finish reading
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ... its time for
me to let my feelings out.

1) The title "The Half-Blood Prince" made me think that
Miss JK was going to introduce a whole new character. When
Harry finds the Half-Blood Princes' potions book, I thought
this might be someone who will help Harry in the fight with
"V" ... and then .. and then ... we find out the Half-Blood Prince
is SNAPE!

2) I thought the whole "wont reveal my crush on you" between
Ron and Hermoine was cute at times ... then annoying at times.
When Ron ate the candy tainted with a love potion intended for
Harry .. from another girl .. and said something like "she doesnt
know I'm alive" .. I thought finally ... tell the girl. But NOPE ..
nothing is revealed between them. I guess it will be left for
the last book.

3) Is just me or did it seem like Snape and everyone else didnt
punish Harry enough considering the spell he used on Malfoy
seemed really dark/evil ... or was it just me picturing the pool
of blood and Malfoys body slashed open too descriptive for me.

4) Was the whole storyline with Fleur and Bill written just so
at the end when he gets seriously disfigured we end up liking
Fleur because she stays with him ... "Im pretty enough for the
both of us" ....

5) I dont know why ... but I really think Ginny did some kind
of love potion to make Harry like her ... its a mean thought ...
but He starts having feelings for her all of a sudden! I dont want
them to be together in the last book!! I mean come one .. Ron
being okay with the two of them together .. as long as she isnt
with anyone else.

6) Im really disappointed with Snape ... I cant believe he did what
he did ... I had wanted him to be the good guy .. and help out
Harry ... but It shocked me ... and Im sad of the outcome ...


Well overall ... its was a fun read ... maybe I'll get it in audio too.
