Spoiler warning : don't read if you haven't finished the sixth book
ok now what do I say. Why do we think 'Hero' needs to do it on his own? In LOTR Tolkien sets off Frodo and Sam alone after a while ridding them the comfort of Gandalf-Aragorn and party. Even in the prequel the Hobbit it gets interesting only when Gandalf disappears and Bilbo and the dwarfs face it all by themselves. So Dumbledore had to die.So Sirius had to die. Hero is hero afterall and only if he can do it alone. But I felt disappointed by the way the greatest wizard, the wise old man died pleading to Snape. it wasn't convincing. What more, I can't see where the half blood prince fits in the complete story line. Sure enough Harry learnt a trick or two to save the day on a couple of occasions thanks to the teachings of the prince but still it wasn't the main theme of the book. Search of the Horocrux or many lives of the Voldemort is the only thing you can get from this book. Anyway now ofcourse we must wait for the final one. I hope Harry is the chosen one and Rowlings makes the confrontation palatable. Oh btw another thing I didn't like was how none of the trusted ones believe Harry this time. Poor guy. Stand alone it's a fantastic book to read but overall book three still remains my favorite :)
