Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

[The Upright Man]

i guessed as soon as Snapes mom was brought up along the way, but i was still shocked at how Harry found out

I enjoyed this book a lot, possibly as much as Order of the Phoenix though not as much as Prisoner of Azkaban.

What I did hate was the whole teen "romance" stuff... it was corny and too repetitive and really not all that important to the plot. I realize that the characters are teenagers and that it matters to them but I thought it was poorly handled by Rowling. Still, I really loved Draco in this one (although we got very little of him) and the end was really exciting.
Harry has gotten very annoying, the trio has actually. I like the secondary characters better, they seem to behave more normally IMO. Can't wait for the last book and finding out what happens.

Also, I'm pretty sure I know who RAB is

Yes, I am sick of the main characters. Well, actually I'm getting quite sick of Harry Potter in general. I love the magical world JK has created and all the smaller details of it (I think every kid these days hopes that a letter from Hogwarts will arrive when they are 11!) but the stories themselves just don't attact me anymore. I'm glad we're finally going to reach a conclusion, but as I was discussing with some friends today, there's so many lose ends to wrap that I think a lot will be left unresolved.

The last Harry Potter book I liked was the Goblet of Fire. It is probably that I am now older and into deeper more heavy fantasy. I found this book just didn't seem to have that sense of wonder and 'magic' about it that I once saw in the series. I will read the next book but for a while now I have felt I am reading just so I can just say I am done with it. Really I should be reading because I must know what happens next and just can't wait to read it.

No doubt there's some disappointment with this book. But in general I enjoyed it. I'm just very upset with the fact that there's not much plot advancement, only the fact that Harry found out who is Half-Blood Prince (I was like, so what?!) and the Horcruxes. She could have finished HP in 5 books instead of 7. I wonder how can she explain so many things and finish the plot in the last book.

I really enjoyed the last book, but I did find Harry & Ginny a bit cheesy: Harry says 'I can't be involved with you anymore, we got to stop seeing each other. We can't be together'. This line reminded me of Spiderman movies, when Peter Parker tells Mary Jane they can't be together.

i cried at this bit

i enjoyed it but the third one is my favourite, the prisoner of azkaban, and the ending of the seventh, the deathly hallows, was lame
