    I'll let Mid delete them...my book doesn't arrive until tomorrow. Though I have a pretty good idea who was biting the dust by studying the cover again. Don't tell me if I'm right but...Dumbledore? It make sense.

    Well I’m about 110 pages in.

    *Spoilers*





    Slightly disappointed so far. The first two chapters were great, particularly the second chapter. Very interesting take. But all the Harry stuff has been rather flat so far.

    And omg, Ginny is one annoying bitch. If she manages to get her claws around Harry I will scream like a delusional pyromaniac and then Burn my Harry Potter books.

    Aye can't say I didnt warn ya in the other thread, lol

    This should be failry updated, I hadnt check the content yet:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Half-Blood_Prince





    Ya know i often wonder too, if JKR swipes ideas from fanfiction authors. I saw a few lines and ideas that i'd read years ago in fics used in HBP.

    Not like the authors could sue her for plagerism ya know, lol.


    Gotta love her flair for dealing with unfleshed out characters like i've mentioned before, lol.

    Mah gawd...canon Harry/Ginny and Dumbledore being killed by fucking SNAPE of all people. I am a sad, sad panda right now. I can say this much, I won't be incorporating this book into any fanfics I might write in the future. Everything I do will be some sort of divergent AU, and probably most starting early in the series. I suppose it could have been worse. If Albus had been killed by Draco, I would've been marching on somewhere with a torch and pitchfork as I type this.

    FINALLY i can break my own code of silence... i was trying to be obscure about the book.

    Snape.. Dumbledore.. I'll leave that BS alone.


    The overall book is pure SHIT, I was set on that early yesterday.

    JKR is out of ideas, she's just taken some of the worst damned fanfics and shoved them into a retail book, and pulled some weird crap out there as well.

    JKR kills so many damned people it's not funny. Got a character you liked? Didn't know much about them? Disposable? DEAD. Wewt.

    -harry gets Sirius' stuff. Yawn.

    -what a HALF ASSED COINCIDENTAL WAY for the half blood prince bit to be introduced.. I mean shit, seriously thats ALL she could come up with??!?!?!

    -Yes.. we all KNOW about Voldemorts past.

    If i EVER see one more damned passage about QUIDDITCH I'll vomit. seriously. They're in a war, and yet parts of it read like "Hey half the kids here parents just got killed, oh well I got to get ready for the trials!"


    Overall it takes forever to get any damned thing done. I'm 100% glad I didn't pay for this utter )(*^@_*)(@ of a book, and i'm not reading canon again.

    Snape killed Albus... what the fuck!? What a cunthole. Did he AK him in the back or something? I mean, in a duel, Albus would kick his ass.

    Harry/Ginny... thats fucking stupid. I swear its all wrong. WRONG! She was left out to dry after the second book and now comes back with all this? BAH!

    pieces of crap like this book make me wonder what in the bloody hell is wrong with people for them to buy it.

    I mean, I personally read Hp FF b/c i liked some of the story set in book 1-3. Everything past book 3 has just been pure plot hole driven garbage.

    Ron and Hermione... get together!@#$~? *shudders*

    Thats the wrong move in my opinion. It takes a lot of the spotlight off Harry because its 2/3rds of the Trio. I just hope it doesnt have them snogging and shit, i swear.

    See some people are saying that... since Harry failed to cast the Cruciatus curse cuz he didnt enjoy causing pain... maybe Snape's AK didnt work cuz he didnt WANT to kill Dumble's... hrmm, interesting.

    Ok just so my brain can get this all in my little tiny brain.

    Snape makes some stupid promise. Draco turns from loud mouthed idoit into evil master mind. Ron is Ron, Hermoine does an amazing impression of Cho and then they end up snogging at a funeral. Harry pines after Ginny, Ginny is annoying so they ofcourse get together then Harry leaves Ginny. Tonks gets together with Remus for no reason.

    You know this sounds alot like half the fan girl fanfics out there lets hopes this is written half decent.(haven't read book just spoilers online, it took me six months after book 5 was released to read it)

    WTF

    yes that is the entire book, you dont even need to read it now.
    i think im going to kill myself after reading this. (not really, i really want to kill JK) by an off chance did it seem like JK stole the whole soul object thing (theres no way in hell i will pick up the book to find out what the real name is). It sounds remarkably like a Lich's phylactery. :?:

    I think this has to be the worst book she has writen so far and i havnt even read it. It just sounds so rushed and... crappy. Half the fanfictions out there sound better, seriously. Its just whack.

    Whats with that Lavender thing and Ron? I mean, she just suddenly likes Ron to give Hermione a reason to be jealous? Whack. I hope Harry doesnt return to Hogwarts, he goes off on his own or something or with Tonks/Remus/Moody. Bugger his friends, they sound annoying now... all of them.
