I read the whole series including Hogwarts Library books an fantastic beasts and the cursed child. I think someone in sixth grade should read it.

I have the entire series and the bad words don.t bother me. I am a big Harry Potter fan.

Harry Potter starts another year at Hogwarts, knowing it will never be the same. Voldemort's reign of terror is in full force. Dumbledore has been mysteriously leaving Hogwarts for personal business. And we have yet another Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. This time it's... SNAPE! Dumbledore has held Snape from teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts for a long time, but there is no other choice. Meanwhile, Dumbledore has recruited a new Potions teacher. Professor Horace Slughorn. Harry finds the old potions book of The Half-Blood Prince. With the new tips and tricks The Prince provides, he quickly becomes a potions whiz. The potions book not only holds tips for potions, but also made-up spells. Harry is brought with Dumbledore on a mission. A mission to find Horcruxes. Harry and Dumbledore come back, only to find Death Eaters in Hogwarts! What will happen next? You'll have to read the book to find out. I cried while reading this book. I LOVE HARRY POTTER!!!!! This book was absolutely stunning! This is my fourth time reading it, but my first time reviewing it. I love how J.K. Rowling is able to convey a story line that makes you think without getting you frustrated or confused. If the Harry Potter universe somehow came to life, I know Hermione and I would become instant BFF's. This book is great. Everyone should read it, especially if they like fantasy, but even if they don't they should give it a try!

i read the whole series and this one is one of the best of the 8 READ IT IF YOU HAVE READ BOOKS 1,2,3,4,5

Harry Potter Book Six: The Half Blood Prince Harry Potter wanted to find what Malfoy was up to because he thought he might try to injure someone, but no one would listen to him. So he followed Malfoy and he sent elves to find him.  Harry discovered Malfoy was trying to kill the headmaster, but Snape ended up killing him because Malfoy was to sacred. I would recommend this book to someone who likes fiction and is a 6th grader.

I think that this book is amazing and everyone should read it because it is full of thrill. I LOVE IT (read the whole series)
