Harry Potter #6

One summer night, when Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shriveled, but he will not reveal why.

Rumours and suspicion spread through the wizarding world – it feels as if even Hogwarts itself might be under threat.

Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: could there be a Death Eater amongst them?

He will need powerful magic and true friends as, with the help of Dumbledore, he investigates Voldemort’s darkest secrets.

Review of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' on 'Goodreads'

If you read previous Harry Potter novels, there is little new in this one. Still, it deserves credit for suspense, action and bravery to kill one of the main characters.
This was the first Harry Potter audiobook I listened to and I am greatly impressed by Jim Dale's narration. It is superb and well deserving of all the awards he got for this reading.
