About This Item
Arthur A. Levine (Scholastic), 2005, 2005. 1st Edition 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Mary Grandpre,. Large octavo, hardcover VG in VG green pictorial dj. First edition, second printing. 652 pp. and notes on author. Not price clipped. A darker book than any in the series thus far with a level of sophistication belying its genre, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince moves the series into murkier waters and marks the arrival of Rowling onto the adult literary scene. While she has long been praised for her cleverness and wit, the strength of Book 6 lies in her subtle development of key characters, as well as her carefully nuanced depiction of a community at war. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, no one and nothing is safe, including preconceived notions of good and evil and of right and wrong. With each book in her increasingly remarkable series, fans have nervously watched J.K. Rowling raise the stakes; gone are the simple delights of butterbeer and enchanted candy, and days when the worst ailment could be cured by a bite of chocolate.
Synopsis
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, released on 16 July 2005, is the sixth of seven novels from British author J. K. Rowling's popular Harry Potter series. Set during Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts, the novel explores Lord Voldemort's past, and Harry's preparations for the final battle amidst emerging romantic relationships and the emotional confusions and conflict resolutions characteristic of mid-adolescence.

AWFUL book! The characters did not act like teenagers...they acted like very spoiled pre-schoolers! I hated this book in this overrated series.

in the front cover, Dumbledore's hand should be black and burned, looking like it's dead.
