We've reached the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, or as we like to call it, Harry Potter and Snape. Is the final chapter as good as Alice remembered? Is it necessary to include both first and last names of characters we've gotten to know over the course of six books? And did Harry really have to do that stupid, noble thing? You'll find out!

(Spoiler alert) Dumbledore is dead, and Fawkes the phoenix (pronounced FEE-nix) is lamenting. Harry works through his emotions as visitor after visitor enters the hospital wing — even though he’s not hurt. Sparks fly between two unexpected lovebirds, but don’t worry about the fact that it’s in response to Dumbledore’s death, because Dumbledore would have been happier than anyone to think there was a little more love in the world (said curtly). Finally, Harry impresses Professors Sprout and Flitwick with an impassioned speech, but McGonagall remains none too pleased with “Potter.”

It's time for the titular reveal! Snape flees Hogwarts, but don't you dare call him coward! Hagrid's hut burns, claiming the lives of several poor, innocent Bowtruckles, but it's nothin' Dumbledore won' be able to put righ'. And as usual, Hagrid needs to work on his listening skills.

Come over to the right side... and by that we mean Dumbledore's literal right side. You have to admit, it's a tempting offer! But first, there's time for a quick joy ride to Hogwarts (Accio Rosmerta's Brooms!) and plenty of discussion of the limits of the Imperius Curse. And spoiler alert, Snape kills Dumbledore.

Take a deep breath in and enjoy the salty air of the beautiful cliffs and coast. What a wonderful spot to take the orphans for a weekend getaway! It's also a great spot for Harry to learn the true meaning of the conditions to which he agreed to come on this adventure and for Dumbledore to prove that, despite his age, he's a really strong swimmer. And don't worry, the drinks are on us (bring your own goblet).

The creature in Harry's chest may be gone, but the seeker is overhead as Harry, Ginny, and Harry's Hungarian Horntail tattoo spend the last carefree weeks of the series together. Meanwhile, Hermione is unpleasantly intentional, Trelawney is cracking up, and Dumbledore is faced with a very unexpected dilemma.

This chapter includes one of Harry’s — sorry, “Roonil’s” — lowest points in the series, but also some very positive moments for other characters, such as the creature in Harry’s chest. It just goes to show that our actions don’t always have consequences! In addition to his choice of attack on Malfoy, Harry faces several moral dilemmas, including whether to tell Ron his true feelings for Ginny, risking the possibility of Ron “hitting” him. Ron may not be Ginny’s keeper after all, but she is his chaser.

Finally, with Slughorn's original memory in hand, Dumbledore can tell Harry the truth. 100% of it! There's nothing, absolutely nothing, that he's keeping from Harry now. Alice and Martha debate the merits of censorship (and Alice seems suspiciously interested in learning more about exactly how to make a Horcrux) and the mathematics of splitting up a soul (again, Alice seems a little bit more intrigued than necessary). And most importantly, Dumbledore's unexpected promise to Harry earns a snort of disapproval from Phineas Nigellus.
