Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

Harry is facing a lot of weird stuff this year at Hogwarts. Whether it be Dumbledore giving him training, Draco Malfoy doing something suspicious or help in potions from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince. Harry also has to deal with trying to figure out what Dumbledore is training him for and make his friends not argue for 5 minutes.

I think the Half-Blood Prince is the best book in the series and this series has a lot of great books. The half-blood prince introduced a lot of new stuff like voldmort’s past, Horcruxes and (obviously) The Half-Blood Prince. I like this book for the same reason I like Prisoner of Azkaban, it tells you stuff that explains a lot but makes sure that there is still more to learn. I think the best line from the book is

Snape: “Do you remember me telling you we are practicing non-verbal spells, Potter?"
Harry: "Yes," said Harry stiffly.
Snape: "Yes, sir."
Harry: "There's no need to call me "sir" Professor."

If you like fantasy/mystery books then you will love this book, but don’t just read this book if you haven’t read any other harry potter books, finish the first five then read this book.
