Harry Potter 6 and the Half-Blood Prince

This, by so far, is my absolute favourite out of all the Harry Potter books (and all the books I've ever read in my entire life)! Not only did Professor Slughorn become one of my most favourite teachers but we got to know much much more about my all time favourite character: Tom Riddle. His background at the orphanage, his time at Hogwarts, his plans and doings outside school, how and why he became the person he is now - Voldemort - his parents and ancestry (by far the most interesting arc! How could the films leave this out is a "riddle" to me), his visit of Hepzibah Smith and how he was able to charm her for his own gain and the time he visited Dumbledore after his graduation to ask for the DADA job... These memories alone are a pure masterpiece but there is much much more to mention why this book is absolutely brilliant in every single way possible. The first two chapters with Cornelius Fudge visiting the Muggle minister and then the one with Bellatrix and Narcissa visiting Snape at Spinner's End, without Harry's perspective. The ending was also nothing like the previous books, it left the reader in uncertainty and there was no "happy ending" this time. It was a drastic change to the previous Harry Potter books and once again J.K. Rowling left me speechless and amazed once again. Brilliant author, brilliant story, best book I've ever read in my life! ...weiterlesen
