Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince - discuss the book (WARNING: SPOILERS!!)

Thank you The more I look into it, the less I can believe anything else.. I truly don't think I've overlooked anything. But thanks for your support, it's sure good to hear others agree!

 

All these little mini spoilers that in a way aren't spoilers are confusing me so much! I'll click on a link on a fansite that is supposedly free of spoilers and then someone goes and ruins it. UGH! Only 350 more pages to go, yet some of these spoilers are making me want to finish it even more.

I just want to see what everyone is talking about, what happens to my favorite characters, and who dies. This book so far is great! The characters all evolving in a way I can't even imagine.

 

I think what we read in the book really happened....that the person who died is really dead etc. I mean the books are coming to a close now so the thing is building to a real climax.

 

im sad that theh person who died died. snape convinced me, but i feel like he had no choice but to do it cuz of the unbreakable vow that he made and i dont think that he was really plotting against the person who died, the entire book

 

Just finished. Too bad he died...he was my favorite character. I guess you can't trust everyone, not all people have good left in them...

I'm gonna read the books over again, I've totally forgotten like three forths of the shit thats happened. I can't even remember the plot of the 5th book.

Marijuana effects the memory.

 

Yeah, there were rumors all over the internet that "he" died before the book came out. It was quite the drama.

 

after finishing the book, and looking back on it...i don't like the title for some reason...it just seems a bit out of place as compared to the rest of the novels in the series

 

I loved the book, it was really good, but I am pissed off because "he" was the one that woudn't die, he was, well, immortal in some way..

 

Okay, having read the book and giving it a few days to sink in, this is my opinion:

This book was totally and completely predictable apart from the identity of the Half-blood Prince (and that didn't really matter). To me, it seems like J.K. was just appeasing her fan base. The logical conclusions that everyone wanted to see happen happened, as well as the little details....

I can't really go into detail about what's convinced me of what I believe, without spoiling it, so I'll just shut my trap...

But I do have to say that everything I thought would happen, happened...

 

see, i thought it different. because of things that happened in book 3 & 4, I thought there would be some major twist at the end. I didn't take the 2nd chapter seriously at all!

I was shocked because if I hadn't had some idea that it would turn upside down at the end, the ending would have been pretty predictable.

BTW, I really wanted Harry to have a girlfriend. especially who he crushed on in this book. I don't want him to act moral and noble, but I suppose he's right to not let her get in harm's way.

 

I think that feisty Ginny Weasley will have a lot to say to Harry about his awful nobleness in the next book ( well she better have or I am going to succumb to the growing temptation to get rid of J K Rawlings and write the conclusion to the series that I want )

 

i dont like harry potter

 

but i do like the moomins!

 

Who is it that takes the dirtnap?

I couldn't be arsed to buy an expensive, hefty book.

Someone PM me with the answer.

 

What I want to know is, do HP books sell out that quickly? It seems like everyone is pre-ordering and going to stores at midnight for these darned things. Or is it that the stores have enough on hand and all but people are just crazy about these books? LOL

 

Okay, just finished it yesterday!! Oh my God, it was so good, but so sad... so, so sad... and I have to admit I'm worried about book 7 now, what's gonna happen? I don't think it'll be possible to end it with the next book, there will probably be one more after that... but, wow, that 6th one was really depressing - although amazing. I can't wait for the French translation in october now.

 

If you haven't read the book you might not want to continue readin this
post...



that book was really good. and the ending was....you don't want do believe that the person who killed him was actually theirself at the time and the treachery! traitor! but any way the person did seem imortal so he couldn't really die anyother way. if he was going to die it had to be by one of the people of the people close to him betraying him.
ggrrr.. i want him to die more than i want voldemort to die right now... sorry i use to be a big potterhead when i first started reading the books when i was 10 and everytime i read the next one it brings it all back. anyway what anyone think of RAB?

 

couldnt the killer have taken an unbreakable vow to protect the children of the schol at all costs...cound that be what he said to be able to have his job? [im trying to be discreet here for the people who for some reason might not have read it]

 

I'm wondering what will happen to the order because of the secret keeper stuff.

 

im half way through and cant stop reading, its dealing with adult stuff in this one which is good, i really want to read the end of it but that will spoil it, i dont want to finish it cause the next one is ages away!!! maybe i'll start reading from start to finish of all books lol
