Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

Rating:★★★★
Category:Books
Genre: Childrens Books
Author:JK. Rowlings
Damn, it's dark ...

I didn't plan to buy it so early, but as me and Ira passed a book store and stumble upon stacks of this new instalment, something lured me to read just one or two passages. I was promptly enchanted and without thinking twice bought the book and hurried home to read it.

The Half-Blood Prince offered a lot of new information to fill several holes in the previous stories, yet it will leave us with larger question marks and provide a superb set up for the final act. As you might well aware, a major character will die in the end, and 'that' made the adventure for the boy we grow to love and care, ever more daunting in the seventh book.

I wouldn't dwell too much about the plot lines and character build up, for they still follows the same pattern as The Order of The Phoenix. But mostly because I have so much to do in the office, yet my mind won't ease until I wrote this short review. Probably will continue the rest later on. For now, if you are into adventures and magic, go grab your copy and read it... you won't be disappointed, you will be a bit sad though. Bring with you some napkins.
