Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince details Harry Potter’s sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry finds a book in his Potions class owned by the “Half-Blood Prince,” which leads him to try to solve the mystery of who this person could be. It turns out the Half-Blood Prince isn’t who you would expect it to be. Harry and his friends have to also figure out what dangerous scheme their childhood enemy, Draco Malfoy, is up to. Meanwhile, Harry teams up with Professor Dumbledore to prepare for the danger that’s to come from Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is one of my favorite books from the series. It leads up to the last book and prepares you for what is to come in the final battle against the Death Eaters at Hogwarts.
