Book Review   by:crazebooks     Original Author: J.K.Rowling
ª
 
The sixth year of the trio-Harry,Hermione and Ron, is full of adventures.Ron and hermione are victims of the changing hormones.Harry has the responsibility of being the Quidditch captain, and to learn about the earlier life of Tom,a.k.a Lord Voldemort.He has to extract the odd memory of Prof.Slughorn, has given the most dangerous dark wizards of all times-the information about HORCRUXES-the evil act of splitting one's soul to remain immortal but at a great price(Killing Wizards).Dumbledore,the headmaster of Harry's school-Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry,believes that the time has come to make sure that Harry learns about Voldemort to satisfy two things-Protect his own life, and secondly,stay true to the prophecy(Remember?Neither one can live...while the other prophecy)and thus make sure the end of Lord Voldemort.But despite all this,there is something fishy going on...What is it that makes Draco Malfoy(Harry's nemesis)not boast about himself and all the timebeing more mysterious?HAS THE DARK LORD GIVEN HIM AN ASSIGNMENT TO DO? TO TAKE REVENGE OF HIS FATHER'S FAILURE OF RETREIVING THE PROPHECY ?YOU BET.Harry is allowed to go along with Dumbledore and destroy the third horcrux-the locket,particularly for which Dumbledore had to drink a weakening potion and they both had to face Inferi.
But Harry later realises that he and Dumbledore just wasted their time because...IT WAS NOT THE REAL HORCRUX,for it has already been stolen by the mysterious R.A.B.What was it that made Dumbledore still believe in Snape,even after Harry told him of his suspicions?Why did Dumbledore petrify Harry when Malfoy entered the Headmaster,s room?(We don't know about it yet.It will appear in book 7)BUT STILL, for the time being,we know that SEVERUS SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE using Avada Kedavra.{My opinion:It was all dumbledore's plan to save Snape from the unbreakable vow AND LORD VOLDEMORT-for more satisfying clues,visit www.dumbledoreisnotdead.com- I am sure you will realise that Our favorite headmaster has not yet left Hogwarts} [NOTE:-If you like my abstract,please mail me at Duggu_jan10@yahoo.com with the subject:Harry Potter]
