In
Harry
Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, as Harry begins his sixth year at
Hogwarts,
Lord Voldemort wreaks havoc throughout Britain, and the pressure to
defeat him
grows stronger. Using an old Potions book which previously belonged to
the
"Half-Blood Prince," Harry is able to increase his magical knowledge
and prepare for battle. First, however, he must help Dumbledore
discover the
secret to Voldemort's quest for immortality - the location of
his
Horcruxes.
But the quest for the Horcruxes and the resulting battle at Hogwarts
produce a
tragic outcome - leading Harry to believe he must head out on
his own
to
conquer the Dark Lord.
Voldemort
is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and
Hogwarts is
no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may
even lie
within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for
the
final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to
find the
key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore
recruits his
old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon
vivant
Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.
Meanwhile, the students are under attack
from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the
ramparts.
Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean
Thomas. And
Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she
hadn’t counted
on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simpering with
jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms,
one
student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark
one.
Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be
the same
again. |
