'How dare you use my own spells against me..... Yes, I am the Half Blood Prince'

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is the penultimate book in the Harry Potter series, and is the start of the life changing adventure that Harry will have to embark on. Before term resumed, Dumbledore took Harry to visit an old friend of his, Horace Slughorn, who used to teach potions at Hogwarts some years ago. The point of Dumbledore's visit, was to persuade Slughorn to take his job back, but what Slughorn was unaware of was that it was actually his memory that Dumbledore was after.....    Meanwhile, Harry, Ron and Hermione noticed something unusual about Draco Malfoy after they saw him entering Borgin and Burke's in Diagon Alley. They knew that the Malfoy's were deeply associated with the Dark Arts, but they had no idea that the unseemingly impossible task that Draco had been ordered to perform by the Dark Lord himself would change the wizarding world forever.

Slughorn had resumed his old post as Potions master, and Harry being pretty useless at potions, wasn't looking forward to this lesson very much. He had a rather scruffy copy of Advanced Potion Making which was covered in annotations and scribbles, but proved to be quite useful. The inside of the book said: This book is property of The Half Blood Prince. Days, weeks, months passed, and Harry became more and more obsessed with this book. It taught him spells he never knew existed, but better yet, it held all the secrets to perfect potion making. He had no idea how dangerous this book was, and what was worse, he had no idea who the Half Blood Prince was.
It was later uncovered that Snape was the Half Blood Prince! And as for the mysterious task that Draco was ordered to perform......to kill Dumbledore!?! In the end, it ended up that Snape killed Dumbledore with just two simple yet deadly words 'Avada Kadevra'. With Dumbledore now gone, Harry, Ron and Hermione are now all alone, and have to try and finish whatever Dumbledore started before Voldemort does!
I would rate this book: 5/5!
