Need help analyzing a novel.

Hi.

I'm asked to read a novel, and analyze it into its elements, as a school task. I've picked Harry Potter and the half blood prince novel by J.K Rowling, I've watched a movie based on it before, but the novel seems really longer, about 30 chapters, and a chapter takes about ~25 minutes to read and understand.

I'm asked to do a presentation in which I'm supposed to analyze the elements of this novel (main characters, setting, plot, etc.) , for about 6-7 minutes, I got 13 days left.

It's more of a nightmare than a reading task, can I have advices and tips regarding this please? Thanks!

The first Harry Potter book is about half the length of the later ones. Rowling was criticized for "padding" the later books unnecessarily.

The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein (64 pages, easy to read, but very deep in ideas.)
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (a classic for middle school readers; lots of interesting young people as characters.)
