As the 6th year of Harry Potter begun in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, an old book of Advance potions was found by Harry that gives a helpful potion tips and spells, and also contains a extremely dangerous spell. The book is property of the so-called Half Blood Prince. Horace Slughorn as their new potion teacher. While Snape (old potion teacher) is now the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher.

The book helps Harry on all his activity in potion class. Though Hermione disagrees on him of using the book. She thinks that the book is owned by a dark wizard. They even search the name on the library but they can't find anything about the Half Blood Prince. But eventually, they will discover who is the Half Blood Prince. That the Half Blood refers to being a muggle and the Prince part refers to his mother's maiden name.

At the that instance, Harry started to feel something romantic towards Ginny Weasley (Ron's sister). Ron goes out with Lavender Brown, and Hermione gets very jealous. They fight a lot, but only because they like each other.

Dumbledore and Harry explore Voldemort's past through Dumbledore's pensive (a collection of Dumbledore's memory). They also learned about the seven Horcruxes, which is the division of Voldemort's soul. They made him immortal until such time that all of them are distroyed. Two of his soul was destroyed, including the one in Voldemort. They tried to get rid of another one but the aftermath leaves Dumbledore weak.

While Harry learned all of this, his suspicious about Draco Malfoy as Death Eater has been right. Because Draco manages to sneak Death Eaters into Hogwarts using a pair of vanishing cabinets in the room of requirements. It is well planned. And Draco's main job was to kill Dumbledore. Dumbledore being weak after their encounter in one of Voldemort's Horcrux, was easily captured by the Death Eater while Harry is being hidden in the invisible cloak. Snape turns up after Draco cannot kill Dumbledore and afterward kills Dumbledore. Draco, Snape, and the Death Eaters escape afterwards.


The death of Dumbledore resulted in Hogwarts of probably going to be closed. But Harry announces he won't be returning anyway; he will attempt to finish the work he and Dumbledore started, destroying Horcruxes so Voldemort can be destroyed.
