I finished reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last night. And with a tear in my eye, I was shocked and amazed at the ending. I don't know if I can wait (I assume) another 2 years for the 7th and final book in the series to be released, not that I have much power over when it is. I just.....wow, what an unexpected ending.....I cannot believe they killed off such an important character, and even worse I can't believe who did the killing.....
This book was definitely one of the darkest in the series thus far and I firmly believe that children should not be reading about these things. I think as an adult I can understand, and take from it what I like. But children have such impressionable minds. I think if I would have read about (for instance) sailing across a lake that was full of re-animated corpses who were trying to pull me from the boat I probably would have had nightmares about that. But I suppose the children of today's society are much more 'exposed' than I was as a child. *sigh*2 more years *sigh*
