Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince


I am still waiting for the complete set (all seven books) and then off to the bookstores! Just one more book and the long wait is over� patience is a virtue! (Though, Marianna already told me all the details that I need to know! Ciao, Marianna!)

The New York Times calls Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince "a far darker tale."



It is a novel that pulls together dozens of plot strands from previous volumes, underscoring how cleverly and carefully J. K. Rowling has assembled this giant jigsaw puzzle of an epic. It is also a novel that depicts Harry Potter, now 16, as more alone than ever - all too well aware of loss and death, and increasingly isolated by his growing reputation as "the Chosen One," picked from among all others to do battle with the Dark Lord, Voldemort.
