J.K. Rowling was a struggling single mother when she wrote the beginnings of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on scraps of paper at a local cafe. But her efforts were soon rewarded with an award from the Scottish Arts Council enabling her to finish the novel. She has since won numerous awards including the ABBY Award (American Booksellers Award) in 1999.
Book Description
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince , the sixth book in J.K. Rowling’s bestselling series, picks up shortly after we left Harry at the end of The Order of the Phoenix. Lord Voldemort is acting out in the open, continuing his reign of terror which was temporarily stopped almost 15 years beforehand. Harry is again at the Dursleys, where the events of the previous month continue to weigh on his mind, although not as much as the impending visit from his Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. Given their last meeting, Harry is understandably confused as to why the old wizard would want to visit him at home.
Rowling opens with a chapter she had wanted to use for the first book, of The Philosopher’s Stone--Lord Voldemort has been creating chaos in the Wizard and Muggle communities alike, the war is in full swing and the Wizarding community now lives in fear. The press have been questioning the events at the Ministry which led to the admission of Voldemort’s return, and of course Harry’s name is mentioned a number of times. Harry’s got his problems, but his anxiety is nothing compared to Hermione’s when the OWL results are delivered. There’s a new Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher, an assortment of new characters and creatures, and startling revelations about past characters and events.
Gone is the rage-filled Harry of The Order of the Phoenix--he’s not being kept in the dark any more, his unjustified Quidditch ban has been lifted and he has matured considerably in his short time out of school. Half-Blood Prince follows Harry into the world of late-teens, and his realisation that nobody is infallible has made his growth that much easier. Accepting his destiny, Harry continues to behave as teenagers do, enjoying his time with his friends, developing his relationships outside of his usual circle, and learning more about how he must, eventually, do what he is destined to do.

个人觉得金妮这个角色罗琳塑造地比较失败。很明显罗琳想把她往哈利的妈妈那方面塑造,美丽,勇敢,都是红发,而且哈利貌似有点恋母情结。 作者想展现她性格有趣的一面,没想到却变成讲话刻薄恶毒,没有教养的人。尤其看了她对罗恩讲出那么过分的话时,我就很反感。那么尖酸刺骨...
评分对《哈利·波特》系列的感情,远胜于宫崎骏、胜于小王子云云总总,记忆中有过这种期待和兴奋感觉的,同类的书就只有少年时看郑渊洁的童话了——同样有着非凡的想象力,同样告诉儿童世界的真实,同样不仅仅适合于儿童阅读…… 哈利波特的故事已经越发得沉重而阴暗,仅仅就结局...
评分所有的哈利都是在网上看完的。 罗琳越来越罗唆了,特别是关于Q球比赛,我看她也是没有办法,就象她因为想像力不够,在5里杀了S。 同样也是因为想象力不够,巫师们的对决,总象憋脚的电子游戏——记得青霞巩利版的天龙八部么? 此前也有一些评论,说她描写青少年的生活细致入...
评分觉得人民出版社翻得不错,前几套都是看的译本,这次有点等不及~~~ 看起来还是有点吃力~~ 期待~~
评分写在前面: 当我知道邓布利多是同性恋时,我很震惊,但随后,我更加理解他的痛苦。最爱的人害死妹妹,同时又是公认的邪恶巫师,他究竟该如何?最后他依然忍痛去决斗,赶走了爱人。 格林德沃被邓布利多打败后,为何从此收敛,销声匿迹,邓布利多究竟做了什么,说了什么,让...
看邓布利多去世看哭了
评分嗯,总之很好看就是了。
评分Dumbledore死的时候真是看哭了。还有Fleur对Bill的爱的宣言,真是又傲娇又感人。啊,要进入出走Hogwarts揭开大战了的最后一本了!难以想象以前书迷们是怎样读完一本盼星星盼月亮盼罗琳阿姨出下一本啊!天啊,想快点看完之余又不舍得。
评分=。=出乎意料的是,英语阅读并没有我想象中那么难。
评分love is resource, bravery is weapon, gifts from God, saviours for being
