Product Description

Six fan-theorists attempt to unravel the clues of THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE. Joyce Odell of Red Hen Productions, Daniella Teo of Mugglenet, Sally M. Gallo of The Leaky Cauldron, Wendy B. Harte and the mysterious "Swythyv" - along with editor, John Granger (author of Hidden Key to Harry Potter, etc.)- provide Harry Potter readers with exciting and insightful ideas of what happened and what will happen based on their close reading of the texts ... ideas that will challenge and engage readers everywhere. Travis Prinzi, creator of THE SWORD OF GRIFFYNDOR website, writes that these essays "will stand as a monument to the kind of guesswork we were all involved in as we awaited the final Harry Potter book."

Customer Reviews

annoying and upsetting spoiler title1
I will make sure to never buy any product from any of the authors associated with this book.

Who Killed Albus Dumbledore?1
I found this book very confusing at first. The compiler writes the first piece and he should not be writing reviews of any kind! After getting through the first essay, the others were better. And while I have read all the Harry Potter books, after reading this I had to go back and reread Half Blood Prince, and parts of the other books, because obviously I had missed quite a few precedents from all the other books. I was reading Harry Potter for the fun and mystery of it, not looking for clues and omens and analyzing each incident. I did not realize there were folks out there that did! I am glad there are because I did learn a lot. Each essay is different and after I got past the first one they became more "readable".

Not worth the title...2
Interesting, but very little of the text addresses the titular question. Mostly comprised of reprinted what's-next blog posts that may be read online for no charge. A few theories hit their marks, but again, already published. And the title just stinks of the worst possible hook-and-line marketing; check it out from the library instead.
