Pros: Not all the bad... Cons: ... very predictable, action sequences not as good as in the previous books
Well okay, there’s no half-baked potato in this book. But there is a lot is snogging, in fact that word is chronically overused in this book. But first… Background If you’re not familiar with the Harry Potter books, ...
Pros: Harry Potter returns, familiar characters and plot points Cons: The most disappointing book in the series.
** Contains Spoilers but not final ending** Okay - I am not so much of a die hard fan that I waited until Friday after midnight to buy the book but I did pick it up Saturday morning and spent most of the weekend reading it. It was a good read but I am ...
Pros: after a slow start I enjoyed reading it, furthers the overall plot of the series Cons: shallow, little character development, linear, mostly drops the Half-Blood Prince thread
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince gets off to a very slow start. The first half is, for lack of a better word, boring. It's clear that the Dark Lord is back and that he's gaining power. We hear of darker tidings and impending doom but the ...
Pros: Harry's character development; engrossing, emotional story; moves the series forward in a satisfying way Cons: With the overall epic picking up speed, less character development with secondary characters
Like Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has a flavor to suit just about everyone. Mystery, suspense, romance, a touch of horror, are all here. Readers get to enjoy time with endearing characters we ...
Pros: Dumbledore, Harry's improved demeanor, teenage dynamics, Voldemort's backstory, Snape Cons: not much Hagrid or Fred and George, Ron's behavior obnoxious at times
I have loved books ever since I can remember. I couldn’t learn to read fast enough; I virtually inhaled books from the age of four, causing a maddening overflow from the shelves filling the hallways of our house. I ordered enough books from the ...
Pros: Provides a good platform for the final book, Humor, Characterization... Cons: Rambles a little, not as imaginative as previous instalments...
Harry Potter is back, and in the sixth instalment of the series of the same name, JK Rowling decides to treat the reader to some interesting revelations concerning the ‘grand scheme’ – revelations that will help further Harry and his loyal ...
Pros: Harry's attitude is much better. Interesting developments. Cons: Some characters missing. Not much about some things.
Ever since finishing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, I’ve been ready to read the sixth book in the Harry Potter series. I’ve gotten more anxious as the release date got closer and some small ...
Pros: Pacing, most of the character stuff Cons: Romantic plots; ending
I made it! My goal was to read and review the first six Harry Potter books before the seventh came out. I just barely made it, but it counts. Since this is book six, most of the background has already been established. Granted, the first chapter ...
Pros: The beginning. Cons: Formulas, formulas and still more formulas.
I borrowed Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince from a friend and could finish this book of 607 pages within two days. I am glad I borrowed it and not bought it, as I find it the most disappointing book in the series. I have read all the Harry ...
Pros: An average, but meaningless work for young adults. Cons: That's not much of a pro.
It’s time to return to the adventures of Harry Potter, and if there is nothing else particularly noteworthy about ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’, it at least becomes interesting as the book most written by external pressures, marketing ...
Pros: The Structure, Character Development, the Mystery, Voldemort's Background, New Characters, & Subtextes. Cons: Underutilization of Characters & Level of Violence too Extreme for Younger Readers.

Pros: answers, Quidditch is back!, mystery, wide open ending Cons: the wait for the final book, wide open ending

Pros: Leaner, meaner, cleaner, and deadlier. Cons: Harry's character development takes a step back.
At the very, very end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, past the last chapter, there is a note that says that this is the sixth book in the Harry Potter "sequence". What this means, exactly, I do not know. It may just be that the series ...
Pros: I smiled as I read, and I never wanted to stop. Cons: A dreadfully linear set of divergent plotlines that seem to be growing in predictability as the series draws to a close
As usual, publicity is a dangerous thing. Every little bit of publicity I've seen in the great buildup that led to the ultimate release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth book in J.K. Rowling's seven book series, has made a ...
Paperback, Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never help...
