Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (English)(Paperback)

Following Harry and his friends into his sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft of Wizardry, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince follows where the last book left off, with Harry facing the repercussions from his Godfather's death. However, this year has some signs of improvement since Albus Dumbledore has promised him private lessons. Summary of the Book Harry finds himself at odds with himself. Grieving over Sirius's death and the events at the close of The Order of the Phoenix, Harry is back in Privet Drive, where he must wait for Albus Dumbledore to come and take him to the Burrow. Instead, Dumbledore plans a detour to visit an old friend he wants back at Hogwarts as a new professor. The year begins explosively as Harry finds a book on potions with the words "The Property of the Half-Blood Prince" on it. The book slowly becomes his way to mastering a subject he has always loathed, but who is the Half Blood Prince? Added to the top are Harry's private "lessons" with Dumbledore. Lessons, he finds, which aren't quite what he expects but things he requires if he has to face Lord Voldemort in time. About J. K. Rowling Joanne Rowling is an English writer.
