harry potter and the half blood prince - WITH SPOILERS

(1/33) > >>

yelley:
so for anyone that has finished reading the book...

i was at work for the midnight release... but my parents, being as awesome as they are, bought me a copy at midnight and dropped it off for me. ^_^ so yay for that.




SPOILERS BEGIN NOW (added by Clara)

i'm really sad that she killed dumbledore. i actually cried.
i gasped aloud when the harry-ginny thing started. yaaaay!
i'm a bit disappointed that she used the word slut in the book... but not enough to make a big deal about it.

all in all, i think i liked this one best so far.... slightly better than gof i think... but i didn't feel that way until the last thrid of the book.

Yeah, I enjoyed that too.  Until they broke up 2 chapters later.

I enjoyed the beginning of the book, then began to get frustrated as things went on.  I still liked it though.

greenblob:
I just finished!!!

my correct predictions:
1. dumbledore dies (kinda became obvious when JKR said something along the lines of "that'd give away the book" when she was replying to rumors about it)
2. snape is evil. I've always hated him.
3. basically all of harry's O.W.L.s (+/- 1 grade)
4. Harry<3Ginny

whee...4 is better than last year

and to copy toastess...

Why? It's much more real. Voldemort's mother had come from an abusive home, and I think a father calling his daughter a 'slut' show's how horrible his background was. I'm glad she used the word 'slut'. The books have really matured.

I know that it stunned me. Making it far, far  worse was that (in the US version at least) two words after the word "slut," the word "who're" appeared. As in whoAPOSTROPHEre. But still, mentally remove that apostrophe, in such close proximity to "slut" and you get a SCARY mental image for a kid's book.

My verdict on the entire book: It's only fitting that that after the weakest book in the series, HP&tOOP, comes what I feel is the best one yet.
