Even though the information is now outdated with the publication of Deathly Hallows, Joyce Odel does a great job at deciphering what happened at the end of Half-Blood Prince . She makes the case that 1) Dumbledore and Slughorn switched places, or 2) Snape killed Dumbledore becuase he was told to (which was the case).
This is an interesting book that tells some theories about what happened in the sixth harry potter book as well as theories about what will happen in the seventh. some of the theories are far fetched and do not have much substantial detail but are intriguing to think about anyway. however, it can drag on for a bit and get a little boring towards the end. overall though a good read for someone eagerly awaiting the last book!

Introduction: A favorite word that I rarely see outside of histories of the English civil war or of the Papacy is interregnum.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)This phenomenon likely says something about us as theorists, but it also says something about Jo's mystery writing abilities: they are highly effective. --W. B. Harte
