Harry Potter 6
WARNING :- NOT SO SPECIFIC SPOILERS AHEAD
Clearly,this is the HP-equivalent of Matrix Reloaded. It answers quite a few questions and ties up a few ends together,but it mainly serves as a setting for a grand finale.I have this feeling that this book has more words than content,I felt that Sorcerer's stone or COS had more in that,many characters were established,many events occured in those books than in the Half-blood prince.But that did not stop me from enjoying it thoroughly. I am a HP fan,and I have always marvelled at JK Rowling's seemingly endless creativity and imagination. The way she seems to effortlessly create such a grandiose imaginative world is really amazing. But my opinion about HBP is mixed,i liked parts of it,but it was not so much a page-turner as the earlier ones.
A few thoughts....
* Lesser importance was given to their academia and Quidditch,it was almost as though Hogwarts' in this book took a back-seat;and was contented to watch these characters live their own lives,not so much inter-twined with the school as in the earlier books.
* Ginny Weasley has suddenly come into the limelight,was given more coverage than any other girl in this book.* Lesser importance was given to their academia and Quidditch,it was almost as though Hogwarts' in this book took a back-seat;and was contented to watch these characters live their own lives,not so much inter-twined with the school as in the earlier books.
* Ron had a sudden,brief,unwanted tryst with romance,that i think served a little to fuel Hermione's feelings for him and more to fill in pages.
* Harry clearly has grown up,no longer the angry,rebelling adoloscent but more a mature guy now.
* All in all,romance was in the air,several new pairs were created during the course of the book.
* This book could well be regarded as the one with least number of new characters,new animals and new spells.
* The history of Voldemort is clearly explained in this novel,and I along with Harry,am very thankful for that.:-)
* The identity of the half-blood prince was nicely conceived and truly very surprising.
* The suspense created near the end - the identity of the person who stole the
* The tragedy at the end was truly,very tragic.
* I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE LAST ONE TO COME OUT.
