And so we are back to the Harry Potter again. Book five dragged on and on so long that I was a bit hesitant about actually sitting down and reading Half Blood Prince instead of breaking it up. However, soon after I started reading I decided that this is possibly my favorite HP book.
You see, I picked it up with some relief. Harry seems to be a bit out of his pubescent emo cry baby stage. He doesn't seem to yell as much, which is a huge improvement. I spent half of the last book not knowing if I would rather throttle Harry or Umbridge. Umbridge made me angry. Harry annoyed me. Harry starts to regain some of his control in book five and he seems a bit more like himself. He is, obviously, sad about the loss of his godfather but he has a lot going on. First, he now knows the prophecy and what is expected of him. Second, he is going to have double lessons with Dumbledor. Third, he is now Quidditch captain.
There are a lot of fun parts in this book, just as many as there are serious parts. I love watching Ron and Hermione's relationship growing and changing. This is like the perfect teenage book, just more innocent. And I feel like we learn a lot about a lot of characters. One of my favorites dies but it had to happen which makes it easier to accept. Even Harry accepts it.
Like I said, possibly my favorite in the series.
