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.

评分难受是因为我最喜欢的配角死了。 而且我总是觉得死得太冤。也许世界就是这样的,我总是觉得J.K.Rowling在书里经常写到死亡是为了让读她的书的小孩子们能够对世界有一个更加全面的看法。魔法世界和人类世界没有什么不同,高尚卑劣死亡爱以及恨。 不可否认,我拿起这本书就不愿...
评分为了敦促我锻炼身体,老王押着我去Dick’s买阿迪、锐步运动衣裤。照我的意思,吸汗旧棉衫足矣,何须破费。他却不同意:砸点银子,招出我万千罪恶感,最好盘桓不去,才会源源不绝支撑我坚持不懈。我于是只好换上光鲜行头,每晚拎水瓶进健身房走路踩脚踏车。老王确实了解我,这方...
评分这回J.K.Rowling是既有经济基础又有精神实力,可以慢慢整理多年前的点滴思路和灵感,弥补前几集或是被生活所迫,或是被书商所逼,仓促完稿所没来得及交待清楚的一个个细小悬念了。 看完哈六,我马上迫不及待地找出“凤凰社”一集,快速搜索着老邓校长与哈里的一段段对...
评分神速,大概已经有两年,没有这么神速的看书了 三天的时间,把哈里波特的5和6看完 想那本《哈里波特与阿兹卡班的囚徒》 耗了半年都还只翻了20几页而已 难道是HP5和HP6有了新的刺激点? 天晓得,可能只是因为下雨天 因为虫咬皮炎 或者,仅仅因为一年到头来没有用力看完一本像样的...
