I had only the final two books left so I decided to finally finish off the Harry Potter set. The Half-Blood Prince is clearly a bridge novel but does have a few moments--particularly the hunt for the Horcruxes. On the other hand, I simply can't get involved with Quidditch at all! Sections dealing with that "game" leave me cold. Fortunately there aren't too many of those scenes. The adolescent love sections are equally boring and Fred and George have been and remain the most irritating characters Rowling ever created.
I'm a completist, so I'll go on and read Deathly Hallows and hope that it is better than its predecessor.
