Review of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' on 'Goodreads'

Voldemort is getting stronger and the authorities have yet to find him, which makes politicians very anxious and given into stupid popularity contests. People are living in a constant state of fear, but in Hogwarts everything seems to be more or less in order. Harry is now captain of the Quidditch team, has a very helping hand at Potions and has private lessons with Dumbledore.

This was always one of my favourite from the series, even though I couldn't remember it clearly having read it more than 10 years ago. It was a treat to revisit "the half-blood prince" and be less worried about what could happen, savouring the words and storytelling. I didn't remember Ginny being such a great character nor Tonks being so miserable. Funny enough, I could still remember the words of this dialogue and where it took place: "maybe he — Snape — didn’ wan’ ter do it anymore". I loved it all over again and some more.
