Gelesen: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (J. K. Rowling, 2005)
abgelegt unter: MedialesDer Half-Blood Prince war der Band, der mir damals am wenigstens von allen bis dahin sechs gefallen hat und das war auch beim zweiten Lesen leider so. Mich haben vor allem zwei grundlegende Dinge ein bisschen gestört: Erstens, dass niemand auf die Idee kam, dass es sich bei dem Prince um Tom Riddle handeln könnte, denn zumindest das war meine erste Idee und dass das ich damit scheinbar alleine stand hat mich etwas irritiert. Und zweitens hätte ich mir für die ganze Aufdeckung der Horcruxes Geschichte eine etwas stringentere Handlung gewünscht. Ich fand es einfach dramaturgisch ein bisschen zu simple gestrickt, dass Dumbledore und Harry immer wieder die notwendigen Erinnerungen beschaffen und darin abtauchen und auf diesem Weg erfahren, was sie wissen müssen. So pfiffig ich die Idee des "pensieve" eigentlich finde, in Band 6 wurde sie in meinen Augen einfach überstrapaziert.
Alles in allem gab's natürlich aber auch einige spannende und interessante Momente und nach wie vor viele schöne ungewöhnliche magische Einfälle. Und mit dem Wissen aus Band 7 liest sich einiges natürlich auch noch mal anders...
So beginnt die Geschichte...
It was nearing midnight and the Prime Minister was sitting alone in his office, reading a long memo that was slipping through his brain without leaving the slightest trace of meaning behind. He was waiting for a call from a president of a far-distant country, and between wondering when the wretched man would telephone, and trying to suppress unpleasant memories of what had been a very long, tiring and difficult week, there was not much space in his head for anything else. The more he attempted to focus on the print on the page before him, the more clearly the Prime Minister could see the gloating face of one of his opponents.
...und so beginnt Seite 98:
[....you have] not told anybody that you know what the prophecy said?"
"No", said Harry.
"A wise decision, on the whole", said Dumbledore. "Although I think you ought to relax it in favour of your friends, Mr. Ronald Weasley and Miss Hermione Granger. Yes", he continued, when Harry looked startled. "I think they ought to know. You do them a disservice by not confiding something this important to them."
"I didn't want-"
"-to worry or frighten them?" said Dumbledore, surveying Harry over the top of his half-moon spectacles. "Or perhaps, to confess that you yourself are worried and frightened? You need your friends, Harry, As you so rightly said, Sirius would not have wanted you to shut yourself away."
