In her 6th book, the school of Hogwarts and past friendships begin to disappear as so much background noise as Harry starts to come to terms of what must be done to defeat Voldemort. Professor Dumbledore himself guides Harry in this new education. Voldemort's artificial immortality was created by putting parts of his soul into powerful artifacts called horcruxes. As long as one remains, Voldemort can not truly die. Harry destroyed one, Tom Riddle's diary, in the 2nd book. Sharp readers will quickly guess that Dumbledore destroyed another one before the story begins. The suspense builds up nicely as Harry is invited to go with Dumbledore to find and destroy a 3rd, but someone beat them to it and a fake has been left in its place. Greatly weakened by the ordeal, Dumbledore is rendered helpless by Draco Malfoy, who has been charged by Voldemort to kill the headmaster. Draco can't bring himself to do it, but Professor Snape does. While it is not normal for me to tell how the book ends in my reviews, I am making an exception here because the ending is the most fascinating part of the series as a whole. The greatest appeal is how it leads into the 7th book. The biggest question of all was the motives of Professor Snape. Dumbledore was obviously dying as the result of destroying the 2nd horcrux. Was it a mercy killing? Looking back in past books does not seem to help. We constantly find Snape in questionable circumstances but he always has an excuse for his motives. Ironically, the death eaters in the first chapter must likewise decide for themselves just how much circumstantial evidence and excuses are proof of his evilness. The other great mystery to come from the book were the horcruxes, of which there are 7. 1 was the journal and the Riddle family ring was another. It seems obvious that artifacts from each house (except Griffendor) are being used (3 more) and that Naja, Voldemort's serpent, is the 6th. So what is the 7th? Since Voldemort has a similar connection with Harry as he does Naja, could it be that he might be the 7th? If he is, then does he have to die to destroy Voldemort? Despite having so many important questions left unanswered at the end, this book does not suffer from the "middle book funk". The mega story has built to a major turning point but the mini-story has a definite end with successes for the protagonists. The most obvious is that Harry now knows what must be done and how big the task is. Less obvious is Harry's rite of manhood. I've mentioned in other reviews that Harry has matured past his age. Despite being capable (and indeed, usually operating) on his own, Harry still used adults as a safety net. At the end of this book he cuts this final tie of childhood and declares he will hunt down and face Voldemort alone. In conclusion, JK Rowling has done more than just wrote a great novel. She has brought all the mysteries together and leaves us satisfied that Harry can finish the job he is given. The loss of Dumbledore and the apparent betrayal of Snape were high prices to pay, but they were necessary for Harry to grow into the man he was prophesized to become.

I love Harry Potter. I didn't start reading the series until the 6th book came out, but when the seventh book came out I was one of the people standing in line at the book store. Someone bought the book for me for my birthday, but when I found out about the deluxe edition, of course I had to pre-order it. I was kinda disapointed when I opened the package. I was under the impression that there was going to be lovely color illustrations and a special binding. I mean, come on, I paid $65.00 for the book! There was one color illustration, and I think that of all of the scenes that could be depicted in the book, why choose that one? So, what do you do? I ended up enjoying the book, but decided that if I did buy another deluxe edition, I would buy it used.
This was purchased as a gift to my daughter. She was thrilled to obtain this ROWLING signature. J. K. ROWLING will be among the most remembered authors of the 20th-21st century. The entire HARRY POTTER series is destined to be remembered among the most successful popular literary series along with "TOM SAWYER" and "LITTLE HOUSE..." The collection of an author's signature is a personal attachment, attribution to the author and piece of history. My daughter's most positive reaction was all that was necessary to demonstrate the validity of this purchase.
The Limited Edition of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is not easy to find in stores any more. The extras that the limited edition offer, the art print and storage box, are very nice. The artwork is lovely and vivid. The artwork done on this book is different than the artwork done on the standard editions. The artwork is on the dust jacket has pictures on the front and on the back and a special picture is added and included in the boook.As an avid reader and collector of Harry Potter this Limited Edition was a pleasure and joy to add to my collection as it will be to another collector.
I love to collect the different editions and covers of this book series. The Half Blood Prince is my favorite book in the series. Thank you for selling this awesome book to me.
