A review by booksandbraids
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

5.0

January 2014--- AHHHHHHHH I love Harry potter :) Ginny+Harry for life! 

I refuse to be happy with my life unless I become or fall in love with either a wizard or a vampire :(

November 2018— my previous statement about Ginny+Harry for life is still true. I used to always say this was my favorite out of the 7. I’m not sure if that is still true because they are all so amazing. 

October 2020-- I once again think I want to reinstate the fact that this one is my favourite... although they really are all amazing. I have read/seen this story so many times yet every single time I still cry over Dumbledore :(

October 2024– I started this reread because I was playing the game Quidditch Champions for platinum and this was the perfect thing to accompany as I was grinding for trophies. I once again cried when Dumbledore died. And once again I forgot about the perfection that is Harry and Ginny in the books and was absolutely giddy with excitement as reading those parts. Now that I’ve gotten into fanfiction I’ve decided I need to find a good fanfiction to fill in those hidden moments in Harry and Ginny’s relationship during this book. I actually was reading Manacled while I read this and it was interesting picking out all the small things that had to change from this cannon universe to create the multiverse reality that is the Manacled version of events. I could see a lot of the facts from the real book that the author of Manacled took and twisted/adjusted the outcome of to make Manacled happen.
