harry potter and the half-blood prince

finished the sixth harry potter book at around 3:30 last night. woke up at 7:30 for work.




like the last few in the series, harry potter and the half-blood prince was a quick and fun (though sometimes dark) addition to the series . i was really surprised to find out that gandalf had not died after being dragged off the bridge of khazad dum by the balrog. however, it was not a surprise at all to find kevin spacey's character killed off in the closing chapter. it happens almost every time. the whole bit with ron and harry coming out of the closet was a real stretch though. it just seemed too forced and unnecssary. i guess after frodo and sam decided to be openly gay with eachother, rowling decided that it was the cool thing to do.
