What is/are your favorite chapter(s)/part(s) in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?

I must say I really enjoyed Chapter 10, The House of Gaunt. I also liked.. wait, I just like everything about this book!

Here, I'll make a list of all chapters to refresh your memory.

1 - The Other Minister
2 - Spinner's End
3 - Will and Won't
4 - Horace Slughorn
5 - An Excess of phlegm
6 - Draco's Detour
7 - The Slug Club
8 - Snape Victorious
9 - The Half-Blood Prince
10 - The House of Gaunt
11 - Hermione's Helping Hand
12 - Silver and Opals
13 - The Secret Riddle
14 - Felix Felicis
15 - The Unbreakable Vow
16 - A Very Frosty Christmas
17 - A Sluggish Memory
18 - Birthday Surprises
19 - Elf Tails
20 - Lord Voldemort's Request
21 - The Unknowable Room
22 - After the Burial
23 - Horcruxes
24 - Sectumsempra
25 - The Seer Overheard
26 - The Cave
27 - The Lightning-Struck Tower
28 - Flight of the Prince
29 - The Phoenix Lament
30 - The White Tomb

Chapter synopses can be found at: http://hp-lexicon.org/about/books/hbp/chapters-hbp.html .

I also wanted to say something about the upcoming film.

Spoiler:

I'm pretty disappointed that my favorite chapter won't be in the HBP film.

My favorite part was definitely the Greenhouse scene in Chapter Fourteen, "Felix Felicis"

^ Ginny is my soul sister. After much deliberation, I decided that Felix Felicis is my favorite chapter, and my decision was made because the greenhouse situation with Ron and Hermione stands out in my mind as the best moment in all of the books. I have alwas loved this scene.

I absolutely love this book. I've read it so many times that I've lost count.

My favourite chapters would be:

Any chapter involving Riddle's past, Draco's Detour, The Half-Blood Prince, Felix Felicis, Birthday surprises... hell! All the chapters!!!

Chapter 2-Spinner's End

Snape and Bellatrix's argument made me more obsessed with the chapter.

Chapter 10-The House of Gaunt

Three things, GREAT..GREAT..GREAT

Chapter 27-The Lightning Struck Tower

Everything!

My favorite part of HBP was the cave scene... just unbelivable how the events unfolded in there, who in the their right minds would exclude this chapter? I also thought when Ron drank the love potion was awesome, he thought he was in love with Romilda Vane. Razz

I`d have to say everything involving Snape - Half-Blood Prince. From Snape finally getting his desired job till Harry using Sectumsempra on Draco.
But of course the whole book is awesome! Smile

Sectumsempra is my favourite chapter. Smile

Probably The Lightning-Struck Tower chapter. I loved Dumbledore's conversation with Draco. It was more or less the first time we got a hint that Draco might not be as evil as was previously let on.

^ yeah that part was good, when we realize draco isnt as bad as his father, and i really felt for harry, his helplesness at that moment where he desperately wanted to prevent dumbledore's death but he couldnt move, that was awful Sad
