Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K Rowling is by far my favorite book in the Harry

Potter series. It is full of action, romance, comedy, and tragedy as Harry attempts to discover

more about Voldemort's evil backstory- hoping it will uncover secrets important to his defeat.

During his sixth year at Hogwarts, Harry also attains a mysterious textbook belonging to an

Unlocked by Shannon Messenger is #8.5 in the Keeper of The Lost Cities fantasy series. The first half of

the book is bonus material. It contains summaries of all the major characters, extra bits of information

from the Lost Cities, portraits, and much more. The second half of the book is the novella. The novella

alternates between Sophie and Keefe’s perspectives. In the novella, Keefe is recovering and struggling to

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K Rowling is undoubtedly a fantastic book. I

loved reading about the Knight Bus, the Marauders, the Dementors, Buckbeak, and all the little

details that made this book stand out. I even liked Draco and Snape in this book despite their

unlikeable personalities, which says something. As for the mystery behind the Prisoner of

Azkaban, I found it thrilling and shocking. There are so many great things about this book; I

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K Rowling is the ultimate pivotal point in the Harry

Potter series-- as not only is it the turning point between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort’s

dynamic but just about for every character. The Triwizard tournament is also super entertaining

Harry Potter fans, and that is because it has the same plot as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of

As for despite it being one of people’s least-liked books out of the series, I found it to be super entertaining. J.K Rowling’s use of mystery and suspense keeps readers interested and wanting to know more. That being said, I do think there were some unnecessary subjects covered throughout the book not worth mentioning.
