Give us your review of Half-Blood Prince.
This is my favorite book in the series so far. It showed more of Dumbledore and Harry's relationship and also showed us more of Voldemort's past. That was very interesting because it shows the readers how exactly Tom Riddle became an evil Lord Voldemort. Then, the explanation as to why Lord Voldemort did not die when the Avada Kedavra curse rebounded onto him was finally revealed.

This book doesn't just show the darker side of things, it also shows us that Harry is growing older. There is more romance around and almost everyone is caught by the ‘love bug'. I found it really funny when Ron and Lavender were together. That was really hilarious. Of course, there is also the Harry and Ginny romance. Harry really loved Ginny and he had to sacrifice that love by breaking up with her to protect her from Voldemort.

I enjoyed this book a lot because it gave me a lot of questions that I've been waiting to have answered... but at the same time, it left a lot of loose ends. I know that J.K. Rowling will give all the answers in the next book, which I am looking forward to.

Did you like the fourth movie or not and why?
I enjoyed the fourth movie a lot because, first of all, the director was British and he also went to a boarding school so he could really understand the life in Hogwarts. I feel that this brought a more personal advantage to the movies.

The newcomers Clemence Poesy, Stanislav Ianevski, Katie Leung, Robert Pattinson and Brendan Gleeson did an awesome job portraying each of their characters. They really did their best and I appreciate them for doing that. Not only did the new cast do a great job, but the main trio were excellent as well. They have all improved so much since the beginning.

Ralph Fiennes did a great job as Lord Voldemort. He really knows how to play the part of an evil [character] really well. I think this is the best movie in the series so far and I hope that the other people like this movie too.

If you could spend the day as one EVIL character from the books, who would it be?
Maybe Bellatrix Lestrange, because she is one of Voldemort's closest Death Eaters and she has a quick mind. I would really like to get into her mind and find the way on how she escaped Azkaban. I would also like to see what her evil plans are and tell them to the good people. I just find her really interesting…

Which GOOD character would you want to be for a day?
I would want to be Luna Lovegood because she is a witty person and a good friend of Harry's. She also helps Harry in the best way she can and she is really funny too (take the Quidditch match she commented, for instance). So I would want to be Luna for a day.

If you could have any magical power what would it be?
I would want to have the ability to freeze someone from doing something. That would be really cool and it could help catch those who are trying to escape just the minute you see them.

What is your favourite moment of the series so far?
When Harry and the Weasley family go to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes for the first time. I really liked the idea of Fred and George opening a joke shop because ever since the first book they showed that they really wanted to have one. And now they have achieved their goal with Harry's help.

Is Snape REALLY good or evil and is Dumbledore REALLY dead?
I think Snape is a good person and that he was just following Dumbledore's orders to ‘kill' him. I think Dumbledore is still alive and is in hiding. I think he faked his own death to let everybody, especially Voldemort, think that he is truly gone, and now Voldemort can just beat Harry because Dumbledore is not there anymore, but secretly he is helping Harry find the Horcruxes.

Will Harry survive the 7th book?
I don't know, I am not J.K. Rowling. But I hope he does because he worked hard to try and beat Voldemort and he deserves a chance to live and not worry about anything anymore.

Do you have anything else you'd like to add? Maybe a theory you've concocted, a shout-out?
I think R.A.B. is Dumbledore and that Dumbledore is not dead. When “R.A.B/Dumbledore” discovers that Harry knows about the Horcruxes, he helps him by sending messages to him without letting anyone, especially Voldemort, know anything about it.

Oh, and I would like to give a shout-out to my brother, BG, who is also a great Harry Potter fan, just like me.
