Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - Book 2005

Started by ElectricBugaloo31 pages

This book didn't live up to the expectations. Rowling abandoned her detailed storytelling style in the place where we would have most liked to have had the detail: at the climax. I was very disappointed by both the pace of the ending and, actually, the entire book. Maybe she was trying to constrain herself to a shorter book, but more action usually requires a longer book. We heard almost nothing about the lessons, most of hte book was devoted to the romance. Seriously.

Well, maybe romance will be a big thing in the next books. Besides, they are going up, you got to show that they are still teenagers.

Exactly... romance is a big thing for teenagers. After all in the next book the trio will be 17/18 and Ginny will be 16.

If you guys wanna laugh at my horrible misfortune, go for it.

I can't read HP: HBP untill my brother reads it, cuz he bought it, and He's on vacation all week! :cry:

Ouch... pain! Just steal it, read it in a week then put it back. No one will ever know.

Kick his @$$, tie him up, and hide him a chicken coop. That will give you enough time to read the book.

That works too 😂

Dude he's not lost forever. He's still in that portriat remember? Harry somehow didn't see that part.

May he rest in peace.... and forever party in his portrait! 🤘

.....i didnt even think about that.....THATS AWESOME😄 and i thought he was gone forever ....was that in the book cuz if it was i musta skipped it on accident or maybe i was being stupid and just didnt consider everything thanks for that any way

He's twice my size and quicker than me.

And besides, tomorrow, he's takin it with him :-(

Oh, well, He might be done before then. He finished OOTP in like,8 hours, and he's no fool to allnighters for the sake of HP.

lol my sister pulled an all nighter last night and fell asleep in the middle of the book (shes not a very fast reader) and she slept all day today so shes still only on chapter like 13

Oh, I was under the impression you were done. I'm done and I got it this morning.

Sorry for the numerous spoilers. nosweat

My favourite part would probably have to be Dobby and Kreacher beating the crap out of each other.
