Harry Potter Comes of Age
I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the most recent book in the Harry Potter series.
The book is a very pleasant change from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
In this penultimate volume in the series, Harry has lost his whiny, teenaged angst -- and calmly and efficiently begins to assert his manifest destiny. Way to go, Harry!
It's also good to see the complex details of the plot in this series under control and beginning to come together.
The ending is a bit of a let-down, but it's probably necessary as a platform for the last book in the series.
Now if only I had some of that felix felicis!
