Dumbledore collects Harry from his aunt and uncle's house. On their way to the home of Harry's best friend Ron Weasley and family, Harry and Dumbledore stop to persuade Horace Slughorn, former Potions teacher at Hogwarts, to return to teaching, and he finally agrees. 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. The students return to school, and Dumbledore announces that Snape, the previous Potions teacher, will be teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts, while Slughorn will resume his post as Potions teacher. When they arrive at the tower, Dumbledore uses his magic to freeze Harry in place while Harry remains hidden by his cloak of invisibility. Draco Malfoy arrives and disarm and threatens to kill Dumbledore, acting on his mission from Voldemort. Dumbledore tries to stall Draco by telling him he is not a killer, but then Snape bursts into the tower and kills Dumbledore, sending him flying over the edge of the tower. Because of Dumbledore's death, his spell on Harry is broken and Harry rushes after Snape to avenge Dumbledore's death. Snape reveals that he is the Half-Blood Prince and manages to escape. Later, Harry looks at the locket he and Dumbledore retrieved and realizes that it is not the real Horcrux.After Dumbledore's funeral, Hermione explains to Harry that Snape was called the half blod Prince because he had a Muggle father and a witch mother whose maiden name was Prince. Harry is devastated to think that he trusted and took help from the man who would turn out to be Dumbledore's murderer. He tells his friends he will not be returning to Hogwarts next year and will instead search out and kill Voldemort by destroying all of the Horcruxes. Ron and Hermione vow to join him.
