 Harry Potter has given his exams of the fifth year. It is in the middle of the summer holidays and Harry is at the Dursley’s house. He is waiting for Dumbledore to come and take him to Hogwarts, the School of Magic. The last time Harry saw Professor Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts, was when he was fighting against Voldemort, the darkest evil wizard, in order to save Harry. Harry is very curious to know why the Professor is coming himself to take him, he comes to know this quite soon. Dumbledore came himself because he wanted Harry to persuade Professor Slughorn, an old teacher, to come back to Hogwarts and teach again. Then at ‘The Burrow’, his best friend Ron’s house, he meets the new Minister of Magic and has an argument with him. Harry’s sixth year at Hogwarts has already got off to an unusual start! He is suspecting Malfoy, a boy in Hogwarts to be a Death-Eater and Professor Snape helping him. On the other hand Harry finds a book of Potions of the Half-Blood Prince which helps Harry in many incidents.Professor Dumbledore is now taking extra classes for Harry where he shows Harry memories related to Voldemort and tells him it would help him kill Voldemort. Professor Dumbledore asks Harry to persuade Professor Slughorn to give him his memory of Tom Riddle. Harry tries but fails the first time. Ron is poisoned but survives. Harry notices Professor Dumbledore’s hand is burnt but doesn’t know how. He now tries to follow Malfoy everywhere with the help of two house elves – Dobby and Kreacher. This is a very unusual year as the worlds of Muggles and Magic start to intertwine……. Like to know whether Harry kills Voldemort or not? Read the book to find out for yourself. I strongly recommend it! |
