robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2050 more book reviews


With Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters wreaking havoc on both the Wizarding and Muggle communities, Harry Potter is ready to start a new year at Hogwarts. But this year is different. Professor Dumbledore has promised to give Harry private lessons. Using the pensieve, Dumbledore and Harry learn of Voldemort's past, hoping to discover a way that they can defeat him. Harry is also concerned about Draco Malfoy, who he believes has become a Death Eater. Another worry is Professor Snape who seems to share a secret with Draco...a secret that could change everything.

The sixth book in the Harry Potter series is the darkest to date. Harry seems to be growing up fast, dealing with both school work and the ongoing battle with Voldemort. He has also discovered a book of potions with notes in it from someone who called themselves the Half-Blood Prince. The last few chapters of this book are shocking and leave me wanting to jump right into the final book in the series. My rating: 5 Stars.
