NB: The film version of the seventh and final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Something something, part one, has opened and I feel duty bound to watch it. In preparation for the final film chapters of the Harry Potter Saga, I will watch the six previous films and write about the experience. There will be SPOILERS !
There isn't much to say about Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince except there could have been a bigger parallel what was going on in the wizarding world and what was happening in George W. Bush's America; that is, the Post September 11 debate on safety versus civil rights.
Voldemorte and his minions excellently exploited the wizarding world's fear to further his cause, which is to end the world.
And of course there is quidditch, confrontations with Malfoy, some riddles to be solved, classroom mishaps and the usual growing pains. I am now officially ready for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
