Ahhh well this one really sets up everything for the final book. I forgot how much backstory on Voldemort we get in this book which makes him a more interesting character. I love the concept of a pensieve. The Half-Blood Prince storyline is so iconic ones the reveal happens and further complicates Harry's feelings. So sad

Dumbledore

dies even though I knew it was coming, and I didn't remember it happening so quickly after he and Harry get back from the lake. Also, I'm upset that movie Ginny is so pointless because book her is amazing and her quips in this book are sooo good!
