Day 4: Book That Makes You Cry

Well, I was right. Harry Potter does show back up. As some of you may know, I am prone to tears. And whenever one of my favorite characters die in a book, I bawl like a baby. So the book that causes my waterworks, no matter how many times I read it is:

"Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince" by J.K. Rowling.

The war against Voldemort is not going well; even Muggle governments are noticing. Ron scans the obituary pages of the Daily Prophet, looking for familiar names. Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts for long stretches of time, and the Order of the Phoenix has already suffered losses.


And yet...

As in all wars, life goes on. Sixth-year students learn to Apparate -- and lose a few eyebrows in the process. The Weasley twins expand their business. Teenagers flirt and fight and fall in love. Classes are never straightforward, though Harry receives some extraordinary help from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince.

So it's the home front that takes center stage in the multi layered sixth installment of the story of Harry Potter. Here at Hogwarts, Harry will search for the full and complex story of the boy who became Lord Voldemort -- and thereby find what may be his only vulnerability.

    Spoiler Alert: When Dumbledore dies, I cry. Tears stream down my face. I can't help it. But I still love the books. And I way prefer the books over the movies.
