Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

[ibneko]

Man, the Harry Potter movie made me wish I was back at school.

Also, Harry, what's wrong with you? Everyone's standing respectfully away from Dumbledore and you rush in and GROPE HIS CHEST?

(Yes, it was supposed to be touching and... meh, I just found it kinda odd.)

Overall, it was good. I don't recall the book anymore, but it seemed like everything that needed to be there was there. Or at least I wasn't particularly bothered by anything. I think I actually have a used hard copy I picked up somewhere, so I'll probably read it again. Or maybe re-read the whole series? Meh.

Kinda wanna to re-read some of the better fanfiction too...

Ack. I've had fanfiction urgings since I saw the movie too. XD

Coming from someone who hasn't read the books (past the fourth, anyway), that sounds so wrong...

And with the mention of fanfiction...man, my mind went straight into the gutter. ;P

Heheh. Book 4: Harry Potter and his case of Necrophilia. :D

Mmm, actually, some of the best fanfiction I've read hasn't been too far in the gutter at all. I'd say some of it's even better than JK Rowling. Might I recommend a few? Such as Jeconias' This Means War, Happily Ever After (fluffy), and Hope.

D: Was that the unofficial subtitle? (Maybe I'll just stay clear of it then...)

Yeah, there are some really talented authors out there (one in particular I'm thinking of may actually be a published author who simply likes to write fanfiction...) who know how to write a strong plot-driven fanfic. I love it when I come across those.

Such as Jeconias' This Means War, Happily Ever After (fluffy), and Hope.

Do any of those recs contain content/spoilers from books 5 or onward?

Should I just catch up on the series?

Heh, nah. I made that up.

I don't remember if those contained content/spoilers... :\ They _were_ written a few years ago, though, so... they definitely don't spoil the last book.





Harry Potter DIES!

Harry's been wanting to do that for 6 whole years. Can't blame him.
