Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I really really enjoyed reading this book even when i've already read it before (don't worry Mr. Pollicutt, i didn't cheat i read it again because i realised i had forgotten everything when i watched the most recent movie).

Harry continues on with his NEWT year at Hogwarts. Throughout the year he begins to take private lessons with Professor Dumbledore in the headmaster's study, during which they look at the memories in Dumbledore's "Pensieve" - a device that allows you to look back at memories you may have collected - and discover more about Lord Voldemort's past.
Harry tries to juggle these mysterious lessons, Quidditch duties (he was made captain of the Gryfindor team), the seemingly ceaseless pile of overdue homework tasks and towards the end of the year, studying for his NEWT exams.

Although people had spoiled it for me already before i read the book, i refused to believe that Professor Dumbledore would really die towarsd the end of the book.
I was really really really really really really sad when i read that it actually does happen. :(

I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD. If you haven't read it, you clearly haven't lived.
