[Very very very VERY new; just joined]
Like many others, I've not read the whole thread, but I shall be as crazy as to read the whole thing. For now, I've only read the last and 1st page... Mm'kay, dears? (Hoho, creepiness...?)
Other matters aside, I have to say that - though I don't remember much of anything of reading the other 5 books, being young and not quite... lucid - I enjoyed reading Half-Blood Prince, heartily diving into Harry's world for hours at a time.
I also encountered (and only on the 1st and last pages, albeit) a great web of speculation and 'mystery solving' and expectations... [i.e. some whose brainpower and devotion to the book I admire brought them to have the whole book figured out in less than 5 chapters] ...It's strange - and I'm being semi-metaphorical here, so look out!=I - how someone wandering unknowingly ( inhibitions and expectations aside ) for a movie enjoys it much better than a learned critic.
Truth be told, I didn't have the will - nor the thought to do so - to figure the small mysteries out to a fuller extent! I mean, I at first thought that Draco was ordered to obliterate Harry ( now that I think about it..."Potter belongs to the Dark Lord" - to battle, o'course ); I first thought that the Half-Blood Prince was Sir Voldie ( quite strange, the other theories... and I also love that nickname for Voldiemort - I think I'll use it for as long as I can ); I took the relationships in as I went, I didn't really have any theories as to who was hooking up wit' who... H/R was obvious, though... =D
I'm babbling, lookie me. ^.^ I might appear to be quite, well, for lack of a better word CLUELESS throughout the whole book, but I've not remembered an experience so close to the effects of the 'Euphoria-Enducing Potion' mentioned... I can't help but believe that expectations cause so much unecessary disease... Wake up, people! =D ( But do as you please, whatever it may be... "Live and let live, eh?" )
Cheers to Dumbleedore - yes, love is all there is! - and Harry-n-gang - we're all with yeh, Harry! - and Rowling! May many more tears be shed - whether of grief and happiness - 'cause damn, reality can't do that in the vicinity of one sitting! XD
