The sixth installment in the popular Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince takes viewers on a journey with Harry (Radcliffe) and Albus Dumbledore (Gambon), as they try to uncover more about Lord Voldemort's dark past, and pursue a memory held by the newly re-recruited Potions teacher, Professor Horace Slughorn (Broadbent), and thereby uncover what might be the only way of defeating the most powerful Dark Wizard of all time.
In the meantime, Harry, dubbed "The Chosen One" by the Wizarding media, discovers an old book that was previously owned by someone called the Half-Blood Prince. The information in the book causes Harry to excel at Potions, but there is something more sinister hiding in the pages. Harry's rival, Draco Malfoy (Felton), also lurks in the shadows, having been tasked by Voldemort to complete a mission...
Adolescence hits the students of Hogwarts, and Harry and his friends Ron (Grint) and Hermione (Watson) are not spared from the teen drama (and comedy).
