Ellie has struggled to put the war behind her and lead a normal life. Although what’s normal about your parents having been murdered; trying to run a farm and go to school; and bringing up a young boy who’s hiding terrible secrets about his past?

‘His hand closed automatically around the fake Horcrux, but in spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come, whether in a month, in a year, or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.’ With these words “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” draws to a close.

In this thrilling climax to the phenomenally bestselling series, J.K. Rowling will reveal all to her eagerly waiting readers.
