Harry feels for Voldemort, Harry must investigate memories tied to his most deadly enemy, in the hope of learning all he can. Fantasy setting aside, the true magic of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince lies in J. K. Rowling's keen insight into all-too-human nature, including the flaws of bullies and braggarts, teenage heartbreak, and the adolescent emotions that can all too easily turn best friend against best friend. These qualities have given the entire Harry Potter series a truly transgenerational appeal, and Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince lives up to the exacting standards of its predecessors. Jim Dale gives another dynamic and nuanced narration as he provides the "voice" for all of the characters as he has in the Listening Library editions of the previous five Harry Potter audiobooks. Highly recommended. |
