And I thought Sirius' death was terrible ...
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince goes down as one of my favorites in the series. It includes some great (and, at the same time, terrible) twists and turns in the wizarding world.
***SPOILER ALERT***
You know, I recall hearing that "Dumbledore is dead" when the book came out, but I guess I forgot about it. I can't believe it happened, and I can't believe that Snape did it. Despite the beginning of the story, I wasn't convinced that Snape was a bad guy. On some level, I'm still not totally convinced that he is. I don't know. Guess we'll find out.
One moment I really liked in the book is when Fleur arrives to see Bill and everyone assumes that the wedding is off ... because Fleur is a self-absorbed bimbo. Fleur, however, says that Bill's scars just show how brave he is. I thought that was wonderful.
I did not have Snape picked out to be the Half-Blood Prince. I thought it was one of James' friends or maybe Tom Riddle's.
Voldemort's apperance makes more sense now that we know his soul has been fractured into seven pieces ... and I can't wait to find out who R.A.B. is.
Must read it.

I absolutely LOVE Harry Potter! Although, I have never read the books, but I have seen every movie and own almost all of them. In fact, when we were in Mississippi to see the hubby in July, we went to see the Half Blood Prince for my bday. Loved it!!!!!
Courtney, you must read the books! The movies are good, but the books are probably three times as good ... seriously, that good!
