Summary

Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy, and her sister, Bellatrix Lestrange, a Lord Voldemort supporter, meet with Severus Snape, a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Narcissa is concerned that her son will not be able to complete a mission that Voldemort has assigned to him. Snape swears to help Draco in an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa.

Harry is collected by Dumbledore and escorted to the Burrow, the home of Harry's best friend Ron Weasley. They take a detour to the house of Horace Slughorn, a former Hogwarts Potions teacher, and Harry unknowingly assists Slughorn in persuading him to return to teaching.

Harry says he believes Draco is a Death Eater while riding the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts. Draco brags to his pals about a duty Voldemort has set him, which Harry overhears. Draco captures Harry and petrifies him, fracturing his nose in the process. Nymphadora Tonks tracks Harry down, fixes his nose, and takes him to Hogwarts.

Snape will teach Defence Against the Dark Arts, while Slughorn will teach Potions, according to Dumbledore. Harry discovers an old potion book that previously belonged to "The Half-Blood Prince," a person who penned various spells and advice in the book. Harry does exceptionally well in Potions class, earning a bottle of Felix Felicis, sometimes known as "Liquid Luck." Hermione, on the other hand, is wary about the book.

Ron and Hermione get closer, but after learning about Hermione's history with Viktor Krum through his sister Ginny, Ron dates Lavender Brown, making Hermione envious. After a Gryffindor Quidditch triumph, Harry develops emotions for Ginny, and the two subsequently begin dating with Ron's blessing. Throughout the year, Draco becomes increasingly erratic, acting in increasingly dubious ways.

Meanwhile, Dumbledore and Harry utilize the Pensieve to analyze memories of individuals from Voldemort's history in order to aid Harry in his anticipated battle with Voldemort. Slughorn is seen chatting with a young Tom Riddle in one of the memories, but it has been changed, so Dumbledore orders Harry to retrieve the true memory from Slughorn.

Slughorn instructs Riddle about the procedure of dividing one's soul and concealing it in Horcruxes, making the user almost eternal, and Harry uses Felix Felicis to retrieve the memories. Six Horcruxes were made by Voldemort, and they must be destroyed in order for Voldemort to be eliminated. Tom Riddle's notebook from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, as well as a ring belonging to Voldemort's grandfather, has already been destroyed; four more remain.

Harry and Dumbledore travel to a cave at the end of the year to recover a Horcrux, Slytherin's locket. The locket is in the center of a lake, in a potion-filled basin. Dumbledore consumes the potion in order to obtain the locket, gravely weakening him. Harry and Dumbledore retrieve the locket and head to Hogwarts to locate the Dark Mark above a school tower after fending off Inferi concealed in the lake.

They reach the top of the tower and are confronted by Draco, who explains that his objective is to assassinate Dumbledore and that he assisted Death Eaters in gaining access to Hogwarts. Draco, on the other hand, is powerless to hurt Dumbledore. When Snape comes, he murders Dumbledore. Harry chases Snape, ignoring the conflict unfolding within Hogwarts, but is vanquished by him. Snape announces that he is the Half-Blood Prince before fleeing.

To protect Ginny, Harry breaks up with her after Dumbledore's funeral. He realizes the locket is a forgery, with a message from "R. A. B." inside. Instead of returning to Hogwarts the next year, Harry proclaims his plan to seek for Horcruxes. Ron and Hermione have promised to follow him.
