Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

This is a post all about HBP. I got the book, I read the book, I'm finished, and I am now posting about the book. I don't want there to be any confusion about this. If you have not finished reading the book, you should not click on this cut tag, because it will be utterly riddled with spoilers. No pun intended.

It's still early on in the post book 6 world, so bits of pieces of ideas and reactions are coming to me slowly as I go along. Not at all helped by the tremendous amount of babysitting I've been doing, coupled with the ridiculously hot and humid weather we've been enduring (and me with no air conditioner). But this just occured to me. Nothing I have to say is really in the firm realm of opinion yet. I'm still thinking about it and considering and and living with some of these ideas. So just bear with me a moment.
