Summary
Add a SummaryHarry begins his 6th year at Hogwarts. Lord Volemort and is now harsher than ever on Muggles, too. Harry begins taking lessons from Dumbledore, and also begins to find a new love in his heart.
Lord Voldemort has returned and his wrath has been felt in both the Muggle (non-magical) and Wizarding worlds. Severus Snape, a member of Dumbledore's anti-Voldemort Order of the Phoenix but formerly one of Voldemort's Death Eaters, meets with Narcissa Malfoy, mother of Harry Potter's school rival Draco. Snape makes an Unbreakable Vow to Narcissa, promising to assist and protect Draco. Meanwhile, Dumbledore collects Harry from his aunt and uncle's house and takes him to the home of Horace Slughorn, former Potions teacher at Hogwarts. Dumbledore tries to persuade a reluctant Slughorn to return to teaching and finally succeeds. Later, when shopping for schoolbooks, Harry and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger follow Draco Malfoy to Dark Arts supplier Borgin and Burkes, where they overhear Draco insisting that the store-owner fix an unknown object. Harry is instantly suspicious of Draco, whom he believes to be a Death Eater like his father.
Harry is starting his sixth year at Hogwarts school. Dumbledore has come to pick him up from the Dursley's. At Hogwarts, Harry starts receiving lessons from Dumbledore on how to defeat lord Voldemort.

Quotes
Add a QuoteRemember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.
Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.
What’s comin’ will come and we’ll meet it when it does.
You sort of start thinking anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.
The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing.
Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike …We wizards have mistreated and abused our fellows for too long, and we are now reaping our reward.
Indeed, your failure to understand that there are things much worse than death has always been your greatest weakness.
Harry, suffering like this proves you are still a man! This pain is part of being human … the fact that you can feel pain like this is your greatest strength.
He chose the boy he thought most likely to be a danger to him … and notice this, Harry. He chose, not the pureblood (which according to his creed, is the only kind of wizard worth being or knowing), but the half-blood, like himself. He saw himself in you before he had ever seen you, and in marking you with that scar, he did not kill you, as he intended, but gave you powers, and a future, which have fitted you to escape him not once, but four times so far.
An invisible barrier separated him from the rest of the world. He was – he had always been a marked man.

Add a Commentbest book ever !!!
I hate how Sirius was cleared of all charges right after his death.
one of my favs, and once again great books with strong, sophisticated vocabulary. fascinating and new plot. jk rowling is an amazing author and personally, who make a good speaker
i can't belive that i am almost done harry potter sooo sadd
BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved this book so sad at ending. I watched the movies when i was young but i never understood....best decision ever was to read the harry potter series :D
this book is amazing!!!! the story takes a while to all make sense but if you read it all the way to the end, you're in for a big suprise. all i can say is GO SNAPE!!!!! and R.I.P dumbledore.
I LOVED this book, the whole book pretty much is about the mysterious half-blood prince, not THAT much action in it until it gets near the end, then it gets AMAZINGLY GOOD and I'm not sure why I couldnt put it down. I cried at the end. AMAZING BOOK AMAZING SERIES.
No doubt, Harry Potter is the best. J.K. Rowling has the best and the widest imagination ever. spells are really cool, like Expecto patronum, stupify, perfectis totalus, lumos and all that. I love the movies and books equally. though the movies had a lot of removed parts... (people tell me i behave like Neville Longbottom.) woot.
I think that the Harry Potter siries is the best in the whole entier world well I don't think that Iknow that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
