A lazy Sunday evening hiding in my air-conditioned apartment from the humidity and rain meant I finally got time to finish Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. (Potential spoilers below!)

Wow — I need a hug after that ending! Another brilliant read though: I’m so sad that I’ve finished it as the world is so rich and colourful, the characters almost frustratingly lifelike and the story gripping. Overall it felt a little shorter than the previous one, and was definitely better for it. I wonder what ordeal JK will put her readers through in the final installment?!
