Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is often classified in the science fiction/fantasy genre. Discuss at least five features of novels in this genre and what aspects of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince meet these required features.
Essay Topic 2
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Rowling describes both the Prime Minister (of Muggles) and the Ministry of Magic as relatively inept, incapable governing agencies. What does this say about her own opinion of the government or ruling order? Can an author's criticism of a fictional government (or other entity) be taken as a genuine criticism of an actual government? Why or why not? What in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince supports your position on this topic?
Essay Topic 3
Much is made of Voldemort's interpretation of the prophecy regarding him and (he believes) Harry Potter. Discuss whether or not Harry is creating a similar self-fulfilling prophecy based on the information contained in the shattered prophecy itself, using at least three examples from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to support your position.
