Thoughts on Half Blood Prince…
July 23, 2005
Okay atlast after a week long battle with Harry Potter I finally finished it today!
I took the book with me to work to find some time to read it but couldnt really do it but then I set my mind yesterday to simply finish it and today I am done!
On whole I thought the book was well written. I didnt feel like sleeping when I was reading it but I really liked the story. I never expected Snape to be the Prince and also even though I knew Dumbledore was dieing in this book before I even started reading it ( thanks to my friends who only read the last chapter) I never thought he would be killed by Snape.
But I thought after Dumbledore was killed no one really took much care about him except Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid and Lupin. Mr and Mrs Weasley were mostly concerned about Bill’s wedding even though they just heard the news that Dumbledore died. In my decent memory Dumbledore was a helping hand to everybody and alot of times to the Weasleys. But they didnt seem to be much moved by his death. He seemed like a person who was used when he was needed and then simply forgotten when he was gone. That kinda irritated me.
The romances at Hogwarts were kinda reminding me of Woburn where more than love there is more physical connection like Ron and Lavender and I liked the fact that those two broke up. I had a chuckle to myself that hopefully those who were kissing in the hallways at Woburn so vulgarly would end up like Lavender and Ron.
Anyways I wish the 7th book came with the 6th so I dont need to wait so long to read the end of the whole Harry Potter saga. After I finished the 6th book I really wanted to know what would happen next but unfortunately eventhough the book is already written its not out yet!
Anyways Have fun guys! 15 MORE DAYS TILL I LEAVE FOR SRI LANKA! YIPPIE
