Laters 😍
For those of you that want to discuss it..
Spoiler:Here's a short synopsis. The book starts with the Muggle Prime Minister talking to Fudge, who he apparently knows. Fudge tells him that Voldemort has returned and that he, Fudge, has been sacked. The new MoM appears and he is called Rufus Scridgemour - this is the lion-man from the description JKR gave. They talk about recent deaths, including Amelia Bones and Emmeline Vance, both killed by DEs or by LV himself.
Narcissa and Bellatrix visit Snape, and Bella challenges him. Snape explains that he was just biding his time by pretending to be DD's spy, and that he has proved more useful to LV than her. Narcissa implies that LV has asked Draco to do something, and begs Snape to do it if Draco cannot.
Dumbledore takes Harry away from the Dursleys, on his way to The Burrow. First, they stop off to talk to Horace Slughorn, the ex-head of Slytherin. Slughorn likes famous and talented wizards, so immediately takes a shine to Harry. DD thus convinces him to come and teach at Hogwarts.
At The Burrow, Harry finds out that Bill and Fleur are engaged. He also meets Tonks, who seems upset - he is told that it's because of Sirius' death. They go to Diagon Alley, where Harry notices Draco slipping down Knockturn Alley. The Trio follow, and Draco enters Borgin & Burkes, where he intimidates Borgin.
At Hogwarts, they find out that Slughorn is the new Potions teacher, and that Snape finally has DADA. Slughorn inducts Hermione, Harry, and a few others into The Slug Club, his group of favourites. Hagrid is upset because the Trio don't take his NEWT class, and because Aragog is dying (presumably of old age). Harry is Gryffindor Quidditch captain. His team is Ron (GK), Katie, Ginny and a new girl as Chasers, two new Beaters. McClaggan is a very overbearing keeper wannabe. He would have got the nod over Ron, but Hermione confounded him during his trial.
As Slughorn is Potions teacher, Harry can take Potions (he got an E). He doesn't have a book, so he gets an old one. It has lots of helpful tips hand-written in it, and the back says "Property Of The HBP". Harry uses the book to become best at Potions in the year. He also finds some interesting hexes and curses. Ron and Hermione become closer. Ron has a go at Ginny for kissing Dean in the corridor. Ginny tells him he's jealous because Harry's kissed Cho, she's kissed Dean and Hermione's kissed Krum. Ron is shocked and immediately goes and kisses Lavender, upsetting Hermione. Harry starts to fancy Ginny.
Dumbledore gives Harry special lessons. He takes him through several memories. The first is of Voldemort's mum's family. They were a proud pure-blood family who had been reduced to living like tramps. Voldemort's mum had a crush on their wealthy neighbour, so used a love potion to entrap him. He left her when she stopped using the spell. Tom (LV) ends up going to an orphanage, where he was a bully. At Hogwarts, he is popular. We see a memory from Slughorn, where Tom asks him about Horcruxes. We then hear Slughorn saying that he won't tell him, but it's not from the memory. DD tells Harry that Slughorn had manipulated his memory, and that Harry must get him to admit what he told Tom.
Katie Bell and Ron both have near-death experiences, with Katie receiving a cursed necklace and Ron drinking poisoned mead. Harry eventually finds out what horcruxes are, by using Felix Felicis, a potion that makes you lucky for a very short time, & which makes him realise that he needs to get Slughorn drunk at Aragog's funeral. They are a way of splitting your soul so that all parts need to be destroyed to kill you. This is how LV survived. He has split his soul into seven pieces. One is in LV himself, one was Riddle's Diary, and DD has destroyed one. There are four more - DD suspects that one is Slythern's locket, one is Hufflepuff's cup - LV has hidden these. One is Nagini, and the other is unknown. They must find the horuxes and destroy them.
Dean and Ginny split up, and later she starts dating Harry. Harry becomes obsessed with the idea that Draco and Snape are in league with LV, but nobody seems to believe him, with DD reiterating that he trusts Snape. He gets into a fight with Draco and uses a hex he found out from the HBP called Sectumsempra. It nearly kills Draco, but Snape manages to stop it. DD tells Harry that he has located Slytherin's necklace. He takes Harry to a sea cave, where they eventually find it, though DD is badly injured. They then realise that it isn't the actual horcrux. Someone initialed R.A.B. has taken that to destroy it.
DD and Harry return, with DD badly injured, when they see the Dark Mark above Hogwarts. They enter and Draco disarms them, but cannot kill DD. Snape arrives and does it for him. The Order are battling Death Eaters in Hogwarts, and the Death Eaters eventually flee. Harry battles Snape, and uses Sectumsempra again, while Snape tries to use Crucio. Snape blocks it, but says that Harry shouldn't use his own hexes against him - he is the Half Blood Prince! Snape and Draco eventually escape.
We find out that Tonks and Lupin are in love, but that he feels he isn't good enough for her. Every one is shocked that Snape has killed Dumbledore. Hermione has done some research on Snape. He's a half-blood, His muggle father was named Snape - guess what his witch mother's surname was? At his funeral, Harry breaks up with Ginny and resolves to kill Voldemort by finding all the horcruxes.
That's the major stuff, I think.
