Throwback Monday: Half-Blood Prince
Jul. 16th, 2018 07:41 amI just realized the sixth Harry Potter book was released today. (Partly because that's how nerdy I am, partly because July 16th happened to be a Red Letter day for so many of my fandom friends that I remember it.) So I thought it would be fun to read my entry from 7/16/2005. *Reads* Oh wow, a lot of rambleage about my fic. Okay, I'll just list out here what I said, but leave out the fic rambling. SPOILERS FOR HALF-BLOOD PRINCE, obviously. As well as Deathly Hallows. Spoilers for anything Harry Potter, really.
(My "current" comments are in parentheses.)

Have my opinions changed? Besides what I said above, not really. I don't think it was a bad book, but it was definitely a transition between OoTP and DH. I do think some things could have been written differently, but I also think there's fandom opinion mixed in there.
The following year, apparently, I made a poll about HBP. Again, huge spoilers.
So, Harry Potter people, what were your reactions when you read the book? Do you remember? Do you still stand by any of them, or do you differ a lot? (ETA: Even if you didn't read the book when it was first released.)
