Hello,

Are you a muggle? Someone who doesn't know anything about the wizard world.
Or perhaps you're a s[b]quib[/b]? You know about and believe in magic but can't perform it!
Or maybe you're a wizard or witch? Someone who has magical powers?

Anyway, if you're a fan of the J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series of books you're probably closest to being a squib, but that's only if the magic really exists. In does Harry Potter encourage witchcraft some people where of the opinion that it's hard for children to differentiate between the fantasy world of Harry Potter and the real world. Well, I disagree.

Half Blood Prince is the sixth book in the series, and I've been fortunate to read through it. All that I'll tell you about the book is that it's little more than a roller-coaster setup for Book 7 (like the SpiderMan 1 movie.) If Harry Potter 7 is not extremely good, J. K. Rowlings is going to be seen as a villian by people like me!

Anyway, here's an excerpt from the book:

---

[center]HARRY POTTER & THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE
Chapter 1: The Other Minister[/center]
<snip>
“To the Prime Minister of Muggles. Urgent we meet. Kindly respond
immediately. Sincerely, Fudge.”

The man in the painting looked inquiringly at the Prime Minister.

“Er,” said the Prime Minister, “listen... Its not a very good time for me ... I’m waiting for a telephone call, you see... from the President of —”

“That can be rearranged,” said the portrait at once. The Prime Minister’s heart sank. He had been afraid of that.

“But I really was rather hoping to speak —”

“We shall arrange for the President to forget to call. He will telephone tomorrow night instead,” said the little man. “Kindly respond immediately to Mr. Fudge.”

“I... oh ... very well,” said the Prime Minister weakly. “Yes, I’ll see Fudge.”

He hurried back to his desk, straightening his tie as he went. He had barely resumed his seat, and arranged his face into what he hoped was a relaxed and unfazed expression, when bright green flames burst into life in the empty grate beneath his marble mantelpiece. He watched, trying not to betray a flicker of surprise or alarm, as a portly man appeared within the flames, spinning as fast as a top. Seconds later, he had climbed out onto a rather fine antique rug, brushing ash from the sleeves of his long pin-striped cloak, a lime-green bowler hat in his hand.

“Ah... Prime Minister,” said Cornelius Fudge, striding forward with his hand outstretched. "Good to see you again."

I wuld rather see the movie than read the book

Emmlaura, I suggest you go to Book worms if you are in lagos, its at Ajose Adeogun street, in the shopping Complex before Oando. its actually the first structure on the street, i.e, if your'e coming from Eko Hotel. Was there last week, they got the book!

he he have the book, the e book in pdf format, don't ask me how i got it o. Anyway it is better to read the book than watch the film

I love the Harry Potter books and films i think that they are super!
The Harry Potter book is 100 times better then the films but i still love them both and i play the compter games. which by the way are really good. Yes it is true i am mad. Harry Potter is just so good i am a Harry Potter fan as you may have guessed!* [/color][color=#990000]

i luv the Harry Potter books n movies, just don't have the time to read.

@Seun,
Everything is well set up for a terrific Book 7. And I won't find it funny if it is anything less than that.
What I find slightly odd is: 1). Dumbledore begged for his life when Snape was about to kill him ( note: Dumbledore will never do that under normal circumstances). And remember, there was no threat to Harry. Another thing is: who got to the Horcux(Salazar Slytherin's locket) before Harry and Dumbledore and placed the potion there?

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is one of the best books that i have read. Who can hate Harry Potter?

HP Girl:

Who can hate Harry Potter?

Harry potter 7 is gonna be amazing.

Too bad it is 7 I kinda want more HP

[size=14pt]No threat to harry?[/size] What, do you mean other than Malfoy, Snape, Greyback, and all of the other deatheaters there? Had harry attacked malfoy, he would of been seen, and been killed by snape, or greyback, or any of the other deatheaters. remember the prophecy saying roughly that eather harry had to kill voldemort, or he would be killed by voldemort. Dumbeldore knowing that if harry attacked malfoy, the other deatheaters, (obviously there were more from the dark mark sign) would come up and kill him (harry). obviously sacrificed his life for Harry's, (sorta)

To be serious to y'all instead me reading the book or even watching the movie, i preferable play the Game on My Ps3,2,1 or PSP, or even on my game boy. you know why? because it makes me feel i'm the one in the adventure myself.

Wow yomflo, you actually 'own' a PS3? doing big things huh? lol.

I actually cried after reading that book, been hooked since the first one came out.Can you imagine one of the most important figures dying?
I wonder what will be next

Yeah, Dumbledore's death was sad and it took me by surprise. Why did J K Rowlings have to kill him like that?

i've not even read the 5th book nd theres the sixth.
actually i've the 4th book so if there is any one who as not yet read it,contact me if you also have something good to offer.

who knows how i can contact nwoke pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Nwoke,pls how can i get the volumes 1 to 6. I want to have a collection of Harry Potter.
motee,please can i get a copy too'send it to my mail address too. Thanks in anticipation.

i got the whole 6 volumes on pdf format, if u want it just send me an im on my yahoo msngr - buari2001, i am not a regular on nairaland so i may never come here again.

I'm reading da book right now and i'm pissed off now that i know dumbledore died

I'm in "a sluggish memory" ch.17

The whole series is fantastic though. I'm still looking for yr 1 and 2.

Please any1 who can send me a pdf of those will be 4eva cherished

i have some ideas about what is going to happen in the 7th book.
A) harry is the 7th Horcrux, so in order to kill voldemort, he has to die. remember harry has LOTS of qualities of voldemort. volldemort was going to make the 7th horcurx from killing harry. possibly he accidently turned harry into one.
-If that is true it is going to be the most evil end to a childs book series ever.

B) harry has to kill siriuses cousin, Snape, and possibly lucas malfoy.
C) bill or charlie (who ever got bitten by greyback) has to help kill greyback with lupin
D) one of the weaslys has to kill a Malfoy.
E) Authur wesely may get promoted bigtime.
F) hagrid and gawp and buckbeak/weither wings need revenge on Mcnair.
G) ginny weasly or hermione, if "A" is true, will figure it out what harry has to do before anyone else, (Minus Harry)
H) Lupin, charlie, ron, hermione, ginny, weezly twins, and Tonks have to survive.

i have read the whole series and the book six is as good as i thought it would be.dumbledore is dead,harry potter has to find the hocrucxes of lord voldemort and destroy it before he has a chance of deafeating him, snape is a wanted man because he killed dumbledore with the avadakedavra curse, mcgonagald is the new head mistress of hogwarts, and SO many things are going to happen in the final book.
I LOVE THIS BOOK.and i cant wait for the final book
and as for hotangel, do you have the talent to write a whole page of this book, i ain't dissing you but don't abuse what someone took ten years to write OK?

please where can i download these ebooks free please

I think this is one of the dryest harry potter books i have read, she is just using name to sell the books right now.

i so hate harry potter and daniel radcliff makes it worse!

Harry Potter is child's play compared to the extraordinary novels of the late Nigerian Amos Tutuola and his six novels published by Faber and Faber.

If only Faber and Faber promoted Amos Tutuola's novels widely, he would have been more famous before he died poor.

i got the harry potter and the half blood prince dirt cheap in mumbai, india. its amazing how these indians have a copy of everything and so cheap too. Got it for 75 rupees thats about 400 naira

I think Harry is cool. Plus, he's cute

Sorry guys, I have to spoil ur business. I have all 6 books - would paste link to them soon.
