Harry potter and the half blood prince comprehension questions

Introduction

We join Harry Potter as he enters his sixth year at Hogwarts. This volume is written from the point-of-view of the now year-old Harry, as he takes advanced courses to prepare for the NEWT-level exams required for his chosen career. A darker book than the preceding volumes, it reveals more about Lord Voldemort's history and his impact on the Muggle world. Voldemort has emerged into the open, and his presence is beginning to have an effect on the day-to-day life of the Wizarding world. While the series progressively covers seven years in Harry Potter's life, each of the first five volumes is largely self-contained. This book is written more as the first half of a two-part novel, and, as such, the ending feels rather incomplete.

This Friday Feature post continues my process of posting all the questions that I developed for a set of book discussions based on the Harry Potter book series. Did you miss the set of discussion questions for the previous books? Then follow the links to the desired book:. I was very careful when drafting these questions to avoid going into too much detail about the horcruxes, since some of them are left for the seventh book and readers still have questions at the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. He enjoys the feeling that he influences these people. He has never wanted to occupy the throne himself; he prefers the backseat — more room to spread out, you see.
