Product Description

Review
'For her success in creating what will undoubtedly be a highly literate generation Rowling deserves great praise.' The Spectator

Product Description
'In a brief statement on Friday night, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge confirmed that 'He Who Must Not Be Named' has returned to this country and is once more active. "It is with great regret that I must confirm that the wizard styling himself Lord - well, you know who I mean - is alive and among us again," said Fudge.' These dramatic words appeared in the final pages of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". In the midst of this battle of good and evil, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" takes up the story of Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with Voldemort's power and followers increasing day by day.

4.0 out of 5 stars Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, 8 Oct 2005
J.K Rowling has done it again. She has gone back to the magical world of Harry Potter and delivers an exciting and well thought out portrayal of his world in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince". This book is darker than the others and focuses more on Harry growing up and the fight against the Dark Lord Voldemort, that finally has been accepted by the Ministry of Magic. This book is a page turner that can only be expected of Miss Rowling and should be loved by all true Harry fans. Although her puns and ideas are spot on and original, I found the first few pages not as engaging as previous books and found it hard to want to reread it as much as I did the others. Whether this has to do with the new "darker" Harry that has become a typical teenager or whether the chapters are simply not as interesting, I do not know. J.K Rowling has cut down on the size of the book (although it is massive it still went too quickly!)which should come as a relief to some Harry fans but the ideas are still flowing and it still remains a brilliant piece of fiction.
Most people should love this welcome escape into Harry's world but others, I fear, will either be left wanting more or left wanting none at all.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a fine, fine book., 22 Oct 2005
It's been a private observation of mine for a while that the thickness of the book in any fantasy series increases the later in the series you get. Writers have more to say, more ends to tie up, and so on. This book, while very long (and so not really suitable for young children to read to themselves anymore) is a large improvement on the last released, but it is now clearly aimed at the older child. Those children who were the same age as Harry when the first book was released will have been able to keep pace with him in years as he nears adulthood. The book is, despite criticism to the contrary, a profoundly moral work, and I for one think it may help to guide anyone growing up. Well done JK Rowling!

4.0 out of 5 stars I was so Happy I couldn't stop stars coming out of my wand, 23 Sep 2005
This is the Special edition of The Half Blood Price. I like these books because are hardbacked, although the cover will pick up dirt from you hands as it is covered in fabric (so wash you hands). This is a great way to collect the books if you want them to look like proper old time books.
As usual JK Rowling has done a spectacular job of it. This book will keep you up all night waiting to get to the end. This is the best she's written, so far.
I'm not going to tell you the plot line or who the half blood prince is (just in case you haven't read it yet, in which case where have you been? The forbbien forest?). But it'll make you cry and it'll make you wonder if you really ever know what's going on in anyone's head. It'll also make you really impatient for the next one....
