I didn't write much harry potter reviews recently. So today, I'm writing about harry potter and the half blood prince, which is both my second- to- favorite book in harry potter series and above all the books.

Well, I told you about harry's fifth year at hogwarts, remember? This series is one year per one book, so harry's sixth year is about to start.

 Harry's godfather, Sirius has died during last book, so harry's cracked up a bit. Sirius was , in Harry's thought, the only person who cared about Harry outside of Hogwarts and he's miserable to accept that Sirius won't write him again. This was really sad... I kinda knew from the first place that Sirius would die quite soon, but this death was still sad news. 

Also, when Dumbledore told Harry last term about why Voldemort wanted to kill Harry as baby so badly, and the broken prophecy, it barricaded like the invisibility wall.

Dumbledore himself picks Harry from the privet drive and bring him to the burrow. In the broom shed, Harry and he have quite conversation.

When Harry goes back to Hogwarts, everything seems murky and mystified. He quite can't believe that Severus Snape is on their side, and Draco Malfoy is trying to kill someone. But what bothers Harry the most apart from these convictions is that Dumbledore doesn't seem to believe Harry's story about mysteries . He seems to be in his own thought, own world. Does he have his reasons? Or is he just trying to hide his real, shocked, expression? No one knows, at least, yet.

The ministry, who wasn't to keen to be pals last year, try to  use Harry as their mascot. Of course, Harry doesn't accept this. He still haven't quite forgot Umbridge's behavior.

The best quote for me in this book was,

"Well, it is clear to me that he has done a very good job on you. Dumbledore's man through and through, aren't you, Potter?"

"Yeah, I am. Glad we straightened that out."

This phrase come out once more toward the end, and it's really touching then.

It turns out that Draco Malfoy was up to something,  and also Snape wasn't on Dumbledore's side. Harry remorse. How could a person like Dumbledore could have misunderstood that? How could he have possibly trust Snape, when he knew Snape had once been a death eater?

In the hospital wing the day Dumbledore die, everyone's attention is on Harry, and he explains how everything has happened. Because Harry was the only one who was with Dumbledore when he died.

Tonks declare her feeling toward Lupin in the public, and they all understand her less bubbly behaviour.

Everything seem to fit... Yet, in a way that is murkier than ever.

 Harry has his long journey waiting for him to hunt down Voldemort and kill him. He will have to set a foot on a path which Dumbledore has created for him, and he will have to go alone 

this time. But he's friends will always be there for him, have some adventure together.

For this thought, one stray of warm light lands on Harry's heart which seem to be frozen after Dumbledore's death.

원서의 장점이라면 역시 한국어판 보다 저렴한 가격에 한권으로 이루어진 부분이다. 덕분에 두께는 상당하다. 사실 외서로는 기숙사 시리즈를 소장하고 있기 때문에 영국판을 구매할 계획이 없었는데 정신을 차리고 보니 하나씩 사 모으고 있었다. "해리 포터와 혼혈 왕자" 어느덧 시리즈의 완결이 다가온다. 이제 알만한 사람은 다 아는 그 반전이 숨겨진 에피소드로 시리즈 전체로 봤을 때도 매우 핵심적인 부분이다.

해리포터와 혼혈왕자...영화로는 많이 봤는데 책은 그 옛날에 한 번 읽고 말았었던 책이었습니다. 영어공부 겸 구매하게 되었는데 번역본보다 훨씬 싼 값에 놀랐습니다. 간만에 읽은 해리포터는 역시 재밌었고 원본으로 읽으니 느낌이 다르더라구요. 다른 시리즈도 구매하게 될 것 같아요. 시간이 지나도 해리포터를 읽고 있을 것 같습니다. 재밌게 잘 봤습니다.
