Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (character index)

When I read the American Scholastic hardcover Edition of Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince I wrote down what page each character first appeared on, and in many cases later appeared on. This Index is not very encyclopedic, but it is a helpful tool for serious researchers.

Try taking this to the Harry Potter Wiki. It's probably a bit more detailed than we need here at Wikipedia. One question: Do the page numbers refer to the American version or the British version? Just chapters would probably be more useful than page numbers, as those differ from version to version. Hermione1980 00:45, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
