harry potter and the half blood prince review.

harry potter and the half blood prince review.

i am a massive harry potter fan so it is natural to say i thought this book was great, but from a harry potter novice's point of view i think it would be a bad starting point. what i mean is if you never read harry potter or never watched any of the movies then you would be very confused and clueless, you need to read the whole series to get the hang of the whats going on from book one. but if you have read book one, two, three, four, five and  you are just about to start book 6 then go for it!!!! it is a great adventure of love, friendship and sadness.

 i give this book: :)=good  :I=half  :(=bad
