Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince is an amazing book, it is a good balance of everything that we love about the series. The main thing I like about this book is that it sets up the final installment of the series perfectly. I also like the backstories in this book because they show us the motives and behavior of the characters. The ending is just brutal and leaves us in shock, I would have never guessed the ending to turn out the way it did. Overall I give this book a 4.9 out of five.
