Mixtape : Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Mix
Description: I made this mixtape out of MP3s (many of them recently ripped from my cassette collection) back in 2009 while rereading the 6th Harry Potter book before the movie came out. Since I had cassettes on the mind, although I didn't make this mix on cassette, I definitely limited it to 90 minutes on two equal sides. This mix is heavy on the british stuff (as those wizards have adorable accents), and vaguely corresponds with the plot of the book.
