Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
Of course we must start off with one of the most successful children’s book series of all time…Harry Potter!
This is the sixth entry into the Harry Potter series (the other books shall be listed below). The past of He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named (Voldemort) is explored, and Harry tries to figure out the identity of the Half-Blood Prince. The book is the darkest so far, with tragedy at the end.
The previous Harry Potter books:
- Harry Potter and the sorcerer’s stone
- Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets
- Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban
- Harry Potter and the goblet of fire
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The 7th, and last, book is yet unnamed, but the latest news from author J.K. Rowling is that two characters will die. Will one of them be Harry?
