Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

             Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth instalment of the Harry Potter series. Harry is a troubled young man. He has lost his parents, friends and had to deal with hardships that not even an adult should face. He watched his parents and a very close friend die in front of him. On top of that, the evil wizard Voldemort is trying to kill him. In this book, Harry and his friends try to survive the hectic life of being wizards and witches. They try to find a way to destroy Lord Voldemort by learning about horcruxes and Voldemort's past to destroy him to save himself, the wizard world and the muggle world.

             In Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince the plot is very well developed. It is developed throughout the series and gets more interesting as the series goes on. The connection that Harry has with the Dark Lord, is very unusual and interesting. However, the plot is very unrealistic this, I think makes the story more appealing. This along with the character development is one of the biggest reasons why I continue to read this series over and over again.

            One question that I was wondering throughout this book is whether or not Snape was still a Death Eater because he was trusted by Dumbledore but he was still in contact with some Death Eaters. Also I wondered about Harry's parents because they are only mentioned a few times and not much is known about them.

           I would highly recommend that everyone should read this book and also the whole series. This is not the first time I've read this series and it is still by far one of the best series I've read.
