Rowling spent years planning Harry Potter and the One-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'south first draft. This was a lesson learned after she did not check the program for Goblet of Fire and had to rewrite an entire 3rd of the book.[x] She started writing the volume earlier her second kid, David, was built-in, but she took a intermission to treat him.[11] The kickoff chapter, "The Other Minister", which features meetings between the Muggle Prime Minister, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, and his successor, Rufus Scrimgeour, was a concept Rowling tried to start in Philosopher's Stone, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Club of the Phoenix, simply she found "it finally works" in Half-Blood Prince.[12] She stated that she was "seriously upset" writing the stop of the book, although Goblet of Fire was the hardest to write.[xiii] When asked if she liked the book, she responded, "I like information technology amend than I liked Goblet, Phoenix or Sleeping room when I finished them. Volume half dozen does what I wanted it to do and even if nobody else likes it (and some won't), I know it will remain one of my favourites of the series. Ultimately y'all take to delight yourself earlier you please anyone else!"[14]

Rowling revealed the title of Half-Blood Prince on her website on 24 June 2004.[fifteen] This was the title she had one time considered for the second book, Chamber of Secrets, though she decided the data disclosed belonged after on in the story.[16] On 21 Dec 2004, she announced she had finished writing it, forth with the release engagement of sixteen July.[17] [18] Bloomsbury unveiled the encompass on viii March 2005.[xix]

Controversies [edit]

The tape-breaking publication of Half-Claret Prince was accompanied by controversy. In May 2005, bookmakers in the UK suspended bets on which main grapheme would die in the book amid fears of insider knowledge. A number of high-value bets were made on the death of Albus Dumbledore, many coming from the town of Bungay where it was believed the books were beingness printed at the time. Betting was later reopened.[20] Additionally, in response to Greenpeace's campaign on using forest friendly paper for big-name authors, Bloomsbury published the book on 30% recycled newspaper.[21]

Right-to-read controversy [edit]

In early on July 2005, a Real Canadian Superstore in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada, accidentally sold fourteen copies of The Half-Blood Prince before the authorised release appointment. The Canadian publisher, Raincoast Books, obtained an injunction from the Supreme Court of British Columbia that prohibited the purchasers from reading the books before the official release date or discussing the contents.[22] Purchasers were offered Harry Potter T-shirts and autographed copies of the volume 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 Earth and Mail newspaper that publishing a review from a Canada-based writer at midnight, every bit the paper had promised, would exist seen equally a violation of the merchandise surreptitious injunction. The injunction sparked a number of news articles alleging that the injunction had restricted fundamental rights. Canadian law professor Michael Geist posted commentary on his blog.[23] Richard Stallman called for a boycott and requested the publisher issue an apology.[24] The Globe and Mail published a review from two Uk-based writers in its xvi July edition and posted the Canadian writer'south review on its website at 9:00 that morning.[25] Commentary was as well provided on the Raincoast website.[26]

Style and themes [edit]

Some reviewers noted that One-half-Blood Prince contained a darker tone than the previous Potter novels. The Christian Science Monitor 'southward reviewer Yvonne Zipp argued the first one-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 series...[in that location is] a new charge of gloom and darkness. I felt depressed by the time I was ii-thirds of the way through." She also compared the setting to Charles Dickens'south depictions of London as it was "heart-searching, broken, aureate-lit, as living a character equally any other."[28] Christopher Paolini called the darker tone "disquieting" because it was and then different from the earlier books.[29] Liesl Schillinger, a contributor to The New York Times book review, likewise noted that Half-Blood Prince was "far darker" merely "leavened with sense of 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 as resemblances to our world.[31]

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

Rosenberg wrote that the two principal themes of Half-Claret Prince were love and death and praised Rowling's "affirmation of their central position in human lives." She considered love to exist represented in several forms: the love of parent to child, teacher to educatee, and the romances that developed between the main characters.[28] Zipp noted trust and redemption to be themes promising to continue in the concluding book, which she idea "would add a greater layer of nuance and complexity to some characters who could sorely use it."[27] Deepti Hajela also pointed out Harry's character development, that he was "no longer a boy sorcerer; he's a immature man, determined to seek out and face a young man's challenges."[33] Paolini had like views, claiming, "the children have changed...they act like real teenagers."[29]

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

The Boston World correspondent Liz Rosenberg wrote, "The book bears the mark of genius on every page" and praised the imagery and darker tone of the book, because that the series could be crossing over from fantasy to horror.[28] The Associated Press writer Deepti Hajela praised the newfound emotional tones and ageing Harry to the point at which "younger fans may find [the series] has grown up too much."[33] Emily Green, a staff author for the Los Angeles Times, was mostly positive about the book but was concerned whether young children could handle the material.[35] Cultural critic Julia Keller of the Chicago Tribune called it the "nearly eloquent and substantial addition to the series thus far" and considered the key to the success of the Potter novels to be sense of humour.[32]
