Plot summary
Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters strike in both the wizarding and Muggle worlds. Albus Dumbledore persuades Horace Slughorn to come out of retirement to teach Potions again. Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger return for their sixth year, and notes and spells written by the Half-Blood Prince fill Harry's used Potions textbook. They help him excel in class and impress Slughorn. Dumbledore gives Harry a task of his own: to obtain a memory that Slughorn keeps hidden, one that concerns a young Tom Riddle. Ron joins the Gryffindor Quidditch team and starts seeing Lavender Brown, upsetting Hermione, while Harry's attention turns to Ginny Weasley.
