Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince


Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
by J. K. Rowling
I rate: 6/10
Comments: Read it for the third time in July 2007. I would say, the weakest in the series as except for the story of Voldemort, everything else was unnecessarily stretched. Hopefully the loose ends will be tied up in the seventh book.
