Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

[manasecret]

I liked all the books except number one. I liked them for the mystery of it all, trying to figure out by the end of the book who really did what and was behind it all. And you could figure it out, if you paid careful attention, because all the clues were always there.

That said, I liked book six a lot, mainly for the ending and the Snape controversy. Also, finally getting tons of revelations is fun for me.

But I've never gotten too deep into the books. I just read them all once for fun and then moved on. I think the most boring one for me was the one with all the Quidditch crap at the start and then throughout -- book 5 I think.

I like the Potter movies, as they seem to progress with each one being part of the whole, and the darkening tone of the series to match the adulthood of the characters has been appreciated.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the movies, but I have not read the books, so please try not to spoil too much of the plot.
