Harry Potter and the Half-Blood prince by J.K. Rowling

If you could rewrite one part of the story, what would you change?


This book starts with Dumbledore taking Harry to convince an old colleague of his to teach Potions at Hogwarts. Harry stays with the Weasleys until classes begin. Harry takes Potions with Professor Slughorn and receives an old copy of a potions book. He finds that the book was owned by a mysterious potion master who called himself the half-blood prince. Using his written tips, Harry receives top grades in potions. Meanwhile Harry is training every night with Dumbledore to find Horcruxes (objects that can keep you alive) and discover secrets about Slughorn and Voldemort. If I could rewrite one part of the story, it would be the part where Dumbledore dies.
