It makes me to shake with emotions after reading
the
sixth part of the harry
potter series "HARRY POTTER AND
THE
HALF BLOOD
PRINCE".The book starts with HARRY waiting
in
his uncle house for the arrival of his hadmaster prof
dumbeldore.This part of the series explores more
matured
part of the teenagers harry,ron,hermoine and their
romantic
relationships.This year too sees a new teacher for the
defence aganist the dark arts SNAPE."The darkest and
most
unsettling installment yet. Harry
Potter and the Half-
Blood
Prince pulls together dozens of plot strands from
previous
volumes, underscoring how cleverly and carefully J. K.
Rowling has assembled this giant jigsaw puzzle of an
epic.The achievement of the Potter books is the same as
that of the great classics of children's literature,
from
the Oz novels to The Lord of the Rings: the creation of
a
richly imagined and utterly singular world, as
detailed, as
improbable and as mortal as our ownHalf-Blood Prince
marks
Harry Potter's key emotional maturation, completing his
transformation from the angry, petulant teenager of
book
five, into a strong, young man, aware of his destiny
and
able to bear its burden.
Harry also shows more willingness to bond with those
around
him, particularly Dumbledore, with whom he cements a
close
mentor-student relationship. His friendships with Ron
and
Hermione have also developed — he does not isolate
himself
as he did in his fifth year. Rowling points out the
strength of Harry and Ron's bond of friendship several
times, and Harry and Hermione's friendship has also
developed to the point where they actually laugh and
joke
together - a development from Harry's opinion in book
four
that hanging around with Hermione was "just not the
same"
as hanging around with Ron. Rowling says that by this
point, Harry has adopted Ron and Hermione as his family.
Harry shows great emotional development — for example,
ending his relationship with Ginny in order to keep her
safe. By the end of the book, Harry has matured such
that
he feels ready to take on his burden of destroying
Voldemort. He is now a more active hero, prepared to
leave
behind his childhood and actively seek out Voldemort
and
try to kill him, rather than simply trying to
survive.This
is the first novel in which we see a Slytherin who is
presented in a generally positive light — Horace
Slughorn.
Slughorn — though he possesses the Slytherin attribute
of
an attraction to power — is far from a Death Eater. In
fact, he seems genuinely appalled and ashamed by the
unintentional role he may have played in Voldemort's
rise
to power, and though he expresses surprise that Muggle-
born
wizards and witches can be as powerful as 'pure-
bloods', he
does not discriminate against Muggle-borns — Lily Evans
being one of his favourite students. Though Slughorn is
not
always likeable, and tends to have his favourites, he
appears to be an overall positive character.In some
ways,
the novel can be considered a reflection of the second
book
of the series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
Both stories feature a book that 'talks' from the past,
similar characters and objects, and a threat with the
potential to close Hogwarts. This is no coincidence.
J.K.
Rowling has stated that Harry Potter and the Half Blood
Prince' was the working title for the earlier novel,
and
many plot elements that eventually appeared in the
later
novel were a part of early drafts.The climax of this
book
is most intresting than the previous books in this part
the
half blood prince makes his entry and kills
PROF.DUMBELDORE.and escapes fromthe castle .Though the
book
ends in a tragedy it is the most superb book of all.
