Background [edit]

Rowling spent years planning Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Rowling stated that she had Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince "planned for years," but she spent two months revisiting her plan before she began writing the story's get-go typhoon. This was a lesson learned later on she did non check the plan for Goblet of Burn and had to rewrite an entire third of the book.[x] She started writing the book before her second child, David, was born, but she took a intermission to care for him.[eleven] The first affiliate, "The Other Government minister", which features meetings between the Muggle Prime Government minister, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, and his successor, Rufus Scrimgeour, was a concept Rowling tried to outset in Philosopher's Stone, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Order of the Phoenix, simply she constitute "it finally works" in One-half-Blood Prince.[12] She stated that she was "seriously upset" writing the end of the book, although Goblet of Fire was the hardest to write.[thirteen] When asked if she liked the book, she responded, "I similar it better than I liked Goblet, Phoenix or Chamber when I finished them. Book six does what I wanted it to do and even if nobody else likes information technology (and some won't), I know it will remain 1 of my favourites of the series. Ultimately yous have to please yourself before you please anyone else!"[14]

Rowling revealed the championship of Half-Blood Prince on her website on 24 June 2004.[15] This was the title she had once considered for the second volume, Chamber of Secrets, though she decided the data disclosed belonged later on in the story.[16] On 21 December 2004, she announced she had finished writing it, along with the release date of 16 July.[17] [18] Bloomsbury unveiled the cover on viii March 2005.[nineteen]

Controversies [edit]

The record-breaking publication of One-half-Blood Prince was accompanied by controversy. In May 2005, bookmakers in the UK suspended bets on which main grapheme would dice in the volume amid fears of insider knowledge. A number of high-value bets were made on the death of Albus Dumbledore, many coming from the boondocks of Bungay where it was believed the books were beingness printed at the time. Betting was later on reopened.[twenty] Additionally, in response to Greenpeace's campaign on using forest friendly paper for big-name authors, Bloomsbury published the book on thirty% recycled paper.[21]

Right-to-read controversy [edit]

In early July 2005, a Existent Canadian Superstore in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada, accidentally sold fourteen copies of The One-half-Blood Prince earlier the authorised release date. The Canadian publisher, Raincoast Books, obtained an injunction from the Supreme Court of British Columbia that prohibited the purchasers from reading the books earlier the official release appointment or discussing the contents.[22] Purchasers were offered Harry Potter T-shirts and autographed copies of the book if they returned their copies earlier 16 July.[22]

On 15 July, less than twelve hours before the book went on sale in the Eastern time zone, Raincoast warned The Globe and Mail newspaper that publishing a review from a Canada-based writer at midnight, as the paper had promised, would be seen as a violation of the trade secret injunction. The injunction sparked a number of news manufactures alleging that the injunction had restricted key rights. Canadian law professor Michael Geist posted commentary on his web log.[23] Richard Stallman chosen for a cold-shoulder and requested the publisher issue an apology.[24] The Globe and Mail published a review from two UK-based writers in its 16 July edition and posted the Canadian writer'due south review on its website at 9:00 that morning.[25] Commentary was likewise provided on the Raincoast website.[26]

Mode and themes [edit]

Some reviewers noted that Half-Blood Prince independent a darker tone than the previous Potter novels. The Christian Science Monitor 's reviewer Yvonne Zipp argued the outset half independent a lighter tone to soften the unhappy ending.[27] The Boston Globe reviewer Liz Rosenberg wrote, "lightness [is] slimmer than ever in this darkening serial...[there is] a new charge of gloom and darkness. I felt depressed by the time I was ii-thirds of the way through." She besides compared the setting to Charles Dickens'due south depictions of London as it was "brooding, cleaved, aureate-lit, every bit living a character every bit any other."[28] Christopher Paolini called the darker tone "disquieting" because information technology was and then different from the earlier books.[29] Liesl Schillinger, a correspondent to The New York Times book review, also noted that Half-Claret Prince was "far darker" simply "leavened with humor, romance and snappy dialogue." She suggested a connection to the 11 September attacks, as the later on, darker novels were written after that event.[30] David Kipen, a critic of the San Francisco Chronicle, considered the "darkness as a sign of our paranoid times" and singled out curfews and searches that were part of the tightened security at Hogwarts equally resemblances to our world.[31]

Julia Keller, a critic for the Chicago Tribune, highlighted the sense of humor constitute in the novel and claimed it to be the success of the Harry Potter saga. She acknowledged that "the books are dark and scary in places" simply "no darkness in Half-Blood Prince...is so immense that it cannot exist rescued by a snicker or a smirk." She considered that Rowling was suggesting difficult times can be worked through with imagination, hope, and humour and compared this concept to works such as Madeleine L'Engle'southward A Wrinkle in Time and Kenneth Grahame'due south The Wind in the Willows.[32]

Rosenberg wrote that the ii main themes of Half-Blood Prince were dearest and expiry and praised Rowling's "affirmation of their fundamental position in human lives." She considered honey to be represented in several forms: the love of parent to child, instructor to student, and the romances that developed between the principal characters.[28] Zipp noted trust and redemption to be themes promising to continue in the final book, which she thought "would add together a greater layer of nuance and complexity to some characters who could sorely use it."[27] Deepti Hajela also pointed out Harry'south character development, that he was "no longer a boy wizard; he's a boyfriend, adamant to seek out and face up a boyfriend'due south challenges."[33] Paolini had similar views, claiming, "the children accept changed...they act like real teenagers."[29]

They considered Rowling'due south "wry wit" to turn into "outright merriment" but called the climax "tragic, but not uncomfortably shocking."[34] Yvonne Zipp of The Christian Science Monitor praised the mode Rowling evolved Harry into a teenager and how the plot threads establish as far back equally Chamber of Secrets came into play. On the other hand, she noted it "gets a niggling exposition-heavy in spots," and older readers may have seen the ending coming.[27]

The Boston Earth correspondent Liz Rosenberg wrote, "The book bears the mark of genius on every folio" and praised the imagery and darker tone of the volume, considering that the series could be crossing over from fantasy to horror.[28] The Associated Printing author Deepti Hajela praised the newfound emotional tones and ageing Harry to the bespeak at which "younger fans may find [the series] has grown upwards too much."[33] Emily Green, a staff author for the Los Angeles Times, was generally positive nearly the book but was concerned whether young children could handle the fabric.[35] Cultural critic Julia Keller of the Chicago Tribune chosen it the "well-nigh eloquent and substantial addition to the serial thus far" and considered the primal to the success of the Potter novels to exist humour.[32]
