Book Review- Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince
How many of you have watched Harry Potter? Or at least heard of it. I think it is a great
novel, a mystery on a task in another world that you can’t imagine combined with some
love situation to keep your interest. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince gives you more
mystery and dark magic than the previous Harry Potter novels, you find all the novels of
Harry Potter starts to make sense, more about the evil character Voldemort, how to
destroy him, the big dark secrets of him. J.K. Rowling really impressed me, how she wrote
a book about another world, with other lives. When I have seen the splendid movie, after
then I started reading the book, and I realized in the book the story went better and small
things changed. And I can picture all the magics and feel how the character feels. Even
though Harry Potter hasn’t battled with Voldemort in the novel, but the scene where Harry
Potter and Dumbledore starts to enter and destroy one of Voldemort’s death, the action
start with full intense and hope, you just have to know what’s the situation and what will go
on!
Dumbledore, the great wizard who was known to be choosing the right thing every single
time and never did one wrong choice in his life except once. He trusted Voldemort. He
made Voldemort in the magical world where dark events and deaths happen within control,
where the evil one lives safely without any trouble that challenges him. He only awaits one
guy, the one who he failed in murdering, the one who he gave powers to, the one who is
destroying him with Dumbledore. What I really love about this book is how Harry Potter
goes on successfully and getting answers from Dumbledore to let them solve the
Voldemort Problem, so it is more successful, you feel safe and Harry Potter will
successfully destroy Voldemort. This novel is not some random storyy between a hero and
a bad guy like superman, not that classic, because the theme in Harry Potter and the Half-
Blood Prince becomes more mysterious and learning more into Voldemort and the dark
arts. The theme is more dark and serious when it comes to the sixth book of Harry
Potterwhich makes you more to choose sixth, even thou seven might be better. But six
probably would bring you into more interest because there are more love situations, which
doesn’t only leave one theme to concentrate.
What is so amazing about this novel is that J.K. Rowling was able to create another world
of system. The system of Voldemort’s death is complicated and something new for you to
hear which is more interesting in Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince. Horcrux.
“...What would happen to the wizard who created more than one Horcrux, what
would happen to the wizard so determined to evade death that he would be
prepared to murder many times, rip his soul repeatedly, so as to store it in many,
separately concealed Horcruxes...” says Dumbledore. Horcrux is a dark magic ripping
your soul into pieces by killing other people to live more lives than normal people. There is
this clear and interesting system of how Voldemort got 7 more lives than one, unlike in

2. necklace. Horcrux are all replaced in an object, Voldemort would not use any crappy thing
to be his Horcrux, as Dumbledore says “Lord Voldemort liked to collect trophies, and
he preferred objects with a powerful magical history.” The scene is full of fear where
nothing happens, it makes you scare to death only by knowing the scene and knows
something bad is going to happen. But it still remains soundless, without a single sound of
another movement. When I got to that part I started holding the book tight as possible and
was about to stop reading the book, I was scared.
The novel is awesome comparing to other novels. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
for now is one of my top 3 favorite novels. Honestly I am a person who hates reading, but
Harry Potter makes me want to read, it catches my interest, the whole theme is different,
there is always action, no long paragraphs talking about information about a particular
thing. If you want to know what else happens in the cave, you have to read the book and
finish off the last few pages. But if you read before the scene you will find more other
scenes how people live in the world magic. It is a great book, to learn another world.
