Many HP fans note Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as their #1 favourite. Similarily, so do many of the FanArtists. This large, intense and in many ways very funny book has a bit of everything: suspense, intrigue, romance, love and murder! From a fan art perspective, what's not to love? So many sub-plots, not enough canvas to do them all justice!
 The enigmatic character of Severus Snape is the eponymous figure in this book, and through his actions we are brought to the brink of discovery of his true nature, still hidden until his final moments in Deathly Hallows. Was Snape's fate ultimately sealed by his agreeing to make the "unbreakable vow?" This is shown here by the incomparable Makani --
The kiss that most of the fandom had been waiting for was finally realised in HBP. Here this fierce-yet-tender moment is realised by the one-and-only Marta, aka ArtDungeon --
The first battle at Hogwarts was not as epic as the one to come in DH, but was emotion-charged and offered several intriguing character insights. Here Featured FanArtist martintenbones has a poignant and unique take on "don't call me a coward!"
I don't think I am atypical when I admit I spent the last 100 or so pages of HBP in shock and tears.  Alake shows her version of the horrors of the cave -- We also see Hermione being comforted at the funeral by Ron, by Featured FanArtist lillywmw --  There is such a wealth of amazing fan art from Half-Blood Prince. Here's to fan art and elf-made wine!  -------------------- |

I like that picture with Ron comforting Hermione at the funeral. On the other hand, why is Ron wearing a balaclava? Surely the UK idea of a summer's day, which it was, doesn't include blokes having to wear balaclavas.
 Doesn't the weather get hot in June in UK?

At Stonehenge in the last week of June, 1997, most people wore overcoats, unlike those pesky overseas visitors from Down South, including myself. Otherwise, I can tell you, personally, if you insist, that Midsummer weather in UK is about the same we in Oz think is either spring or else autumn weather. At best. I did like seeing here a fan drawing of the fight at the end of HBP. This is something we didn't even see in the film, only Bellatrix and friends trashing the place.
