After Voldemort takes over the Ministry of Magic, Harry, Ron and Hermione are forced into hiding. They try to decipher the clues left to them by Dumbledore to find and destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes.

Dumbledore and Harry Potter learn more about Voldemort’s past and his rise to power. Meanwhile, Harry stumbles upon an old potions textbook belonging to a person calling himself the Half-Blood Prince.

Harry Potter and Dumbledore’s warning about the return of Lord Voldemort is not heeded by the wizard authorities who, in turn, look to undermine Dumbledore’s authority at Hogwarts and discredit Harry.
