Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Harry Potter #6)

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by JK Rowling is the sixth book in her Harry Potter series.

Before the beginning of Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the evil Lord Voldemort and his band of Death Eaters are beginning to cause more trouble. Due to a prophesy Harry knows that he will have to play a large role in the eventual face off with Voldemort.

This year along with regular classes and Quidditch, headmaster Albus Dumbledor will try to prepare Harry for his future battle. Harry is sure that one of his classmates is working for the Death Eaters but no one seems to believe him.

Rowling's continued narrative keeps illustrating how brilliantly she set up the series. There are clues along the way that prepare characters and readers for what is to come. Harry Potter is the most well written series ever written for young readers.
