The Gnome King reviewed Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J. K. Rowling (Harry Potter, #6)
Review of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
By far the best in the series. You still have the same old school crap going on. Harry is still a angry little fella. Ron is as horny as a field of rabbits. Dumbleydoor still does nothing, happy to let all the pressure build up. Hagrid cries. Lupin is still really emo. Hermie knows everything. This time though things start to get dark, there is suddenly a real element of danger, a lot of violence going on in the world. I have to admit that I did whiz through the last 200 pages as the writing flowed really well, if the rest of the book was more interesting then it could have got 4 stars.
Things I've learnt from this book:
Harry Potter reminds me of a troubled kid I went to school with, always answering back to a certain teacher, always in detention. Could he have been magical?
The Ministry of Magic is scarily like our government at the moment, flapping about Brexit, acting like arrogant idiots.
Finally the last thing I learnt....If Ron likes you then he'll let you make out with his sister ;-)
