I assume you want me to throw away the ARC. Are there any major changes between the two? I noticed one short section where there were some text repetitions, during Maisie's stay at Sainte-Marie, which I assumed would be removed. I meant any changes of content.

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE
Sixth in the Harry Potter Series
J.K. Rowling
Scholastic, July 2005
Reviewed by Joy Calderwood
Fantasy
Harry is flattered when Dumbledore asks him to go with him, to try to talk retired professor Horace Slughorn into returning to Hogwarts. Hogwarts is once again without a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Harry is dismayed when his success doesn’t work out the way he had planned – yet it works to his advantage. Dumbledore, obviously, is still planning benevolently for Harry’s future.
Coincidentally or not, Harry now has possession of a book with many useful notes to improve his magic, and spells the textbooks don’t teach. Suddenly Harry is a classroom star. But is this a good thing? Who was the previous owner, this self-titled Half-Blood Prince? Some of his tips are questionable, and so are some of their side-effects.
In the meantime, Harry is taking special lessons with Dumbledore, and has been named captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Ron and Hermione are both staunchly behind him on these things; in spite of frictions, they are still his best friends. Harry’s job at the end of ORDER OF THE PHOENIX was to rebuild his support team, and he has done so. But there are moments of independence now, areas where Harry is certain he understands what is happening no matter what his friends think. We get glimpses of leadership approaching.
The big question in HALF-BLOOD PRINCE is, who will be betrayed? Malfoy, working for Voldemort, is smugly up to no good. How many more people inside Hogwarts are working for Voldemort? Debate already rages on the internet: is Snape on the side of Dark or Light?
There has been a rumor that someone important to Harry dies in HALF-BLOOD PRINCE. It is true; make sure you have your kleenex. Yet there are ways in which a dead friend can live on, and Harry intends to see that it happens. It was an immense relief to me that Harry’s responsibilities have forced him beyond adolescence. There isn’t time for tantrums when you are being groomed to kill the biggest villain of your time, class work presses all around, and you are being stalked by an obnoxious bruiser demanding a place on the Quidditch team.
HALF-BLOOD PRINCE is back to the elements that have made the series a publishing phenomenon: engaging, realistic characters with whom we share “believable” schooldays and adventurous nights; dependable teachers and despicable ones; crazy new gadgets, spells, and creatures we would like to see more of; and author J.K. Rowling’s peerless imagination. Her humor is still with us, but character-driven plot has taken over as the dominant attraction of the series.
The Harry Potter series is not static. It is an ongoing event – regardless of the reader’s age, let me point out. Fans urge it on new readers. Movies draw big box office, attracting more attention. Points of suspense and character development spark internet brouhahas. A hint about the next book touches off a media flare. This started as a mother’s story to her son, and now look at it.
You want my opinion? I say Snape has gone to the Dark, and the next book will prove it!

'The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be'.

You are welcome to start a character wherever you please, though Phos’ best inn, “The Bowed Lion,” is a popular place to start.
Before you set out on your adventure, please be sure to read the Rules of the Board (please take note of article 5). You may also wish to peruse the Laws of the Realm, as set forth by the Heron King, as these affect all who travel throughout the Land of Aion.
We hope that you enjoy adventuring with us, and do not hesitate to contact Tallin, Almirena, or myself should you have any concerns.

I just finished Rowe's MURDER IN THE FORUM and zipped right on to her THE CHARIOTS OF CALYX. It helps that it has an engaging plot thread running right through the series: the search for his wife.
I wonder why it was named MURDER IN THE FORUM, when actually it was murder in the triclinium. Or the town square, or the back alley, or the secluded inn. Come to think of it, maybe she didn't want to give away what murder she was talking about. It's a valid suspense maneuver. I find myself avoiding a spoiler, now that I explore the idea.
Presumably in the next printing of CHARIOTS OF CALYX, the publisher will correct the governor's name on the back cover. I was much relieved to open the book and discover that the author hadn't jumped back in time. The characters in CALYX are individual and entertaining. It's a good start.
