He is determined to make a name for himself, albeit a dark one. But while romance blossoms across Hogwarts, one student stays away. And then there is Hermione who cooks jealously but is determined not to show her feelings. And Lavender Brown decided that Ron was right for her, only that she wasn’t expecting Romilda Vane’s chocolates.
Harry is drawn more and more to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. Meanwhile, a very different but equally inevitable enemy assaults students as teenage hormones rage over the city walls. To this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and clueless connoisseur Professor Horace Slughorn, who, in his opinion, contains important information. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defense. Harry suspects that there might even be danger in the castle, but Dumbledore is more concerned with preparing him for the final battle, which he knows is fast approaching. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the video game, Voldemort tightens his grip on the Muggle and Wizarding world and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was.
