Blog 506: The Half Blood Prince

Dont read this if u havent gone through Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.


Why the hell did she-who-must-write-faster have to kill Dumbledore???? Harry has no one now...not Sirius, not Dumbledore, not even Hogwarts :(

As of now, Harry cant perform a single curse on Snape plus he's not gonna go back to Hogwarts next year... how on dear earth is he going to face Voldemort?? And not just Voldemort... there are all the other death eaters and dementors he'll have to confront too. Will mere love will get him past all these??

And he'll have Ron and Hermoine with him... two ppl who barely know how to apparate as of now. Something big has to be cooking next book...

I was watery eyed when Dumbledore died... to have him plead to Snape and then to read the two words I desperately did not want to read... 'Avada Kedavra' ...what on earth made Dumbledore keep Snape in Hogwarts all these years?? All those years and Dumbledore cudnt once get the truth out of Snape?? No Veritaserum?? Nothing?? And that too Dumbledore.... greatest wizard ever?? Shit man...

Wonder who's R.A.B ... a person who's against Voldemort and was skilled enough to get to the horcrux in the middle of the lake which took the combined might of Harry and Dumbledore... wants to destroy the Horcrux and yet didnt reveal this to Dumbledore to team up with him.

On a literary note, a thing that was lacking in this book, which had been there in the previous books, was the degree of interconnection. All the previous books had really well interwoven sub-plots... things innocously introduced here and there later springing up to be really significant.

Way too much hype had been created about the... err... adult content of the book. Kuch to nahin tha... 5 seconds of any item number these days would amount to the same as what this book offered.

Please please may Rowling not take two years to finish the last book. I cant wait that long. I still dont know how Harry is gonna fight the Dark army without currently being able to as much as stupefy Snape... but we'll see...

May the force be with you Harry!

UPDATE: Here are two possible theories... the first one proposed by madman...

1) Maybe Snape killed Dumbledore on the latter's orders so that he'd become one of the closest confidantes of You-Know-Who and then might later help Harry in THE final battle.

2) Maybe Dumbledore created a Horcrux for himself and will come back later unknown to the laity. This would also explain why he got physically weak and so was unable to heal the damaged arm in all that time. Drawback: Bubbles pointed out that Dumbledore is absolutely against the use of Dark Arts and so wouldnt resort to this measure.

PS: Maybe, given that Harry is a pure blood and the sorting hat wanted straightaway to put him in Slytherin, there's something about Harry that is unknown, as yet, to everyone including himself!
