[SPOILER'S GALORE]
i was rather non-plussed by this book as it just seemed to be ambling along but then fuck me, the last few chapters...
definitely the saddest of the books so far and i hope she doesn't take another two years to write the final chapter
part of me is hoping that the people who have died will make a return in the next book although i think that is unlikely - still think sirius' death was a bit suspect and that he may yet return
and despite their actions towards the end, i still think the half blood prince may turn out to be an a good guy and have had their reasons for what they did
roll on book seven!
