But really, you should just read the book. The series is awesome.
well harry goes to hogwarts, but before that he follows draco in diagon alley and thinks that he has become a death eater, so he’s suspicious. then at hogwarts alicia and ron are both attempted to be murdered, but it seems like the murderer was after someone else, but they got in the way, he still suspects draco. then he is having private lessons with dumbledore to learn about voldemort’s past, and he tells dumbledore about this, but dumbledore doesn’t believe him. eventually during these private lessons, harry learns through the pensieve and memories that they watch through this, that voldemort used horcruxes to keep him immortal and stuff, which is spliting your soul. but voldemort did it seven times, and toward the end, harry and dumbledore go and find a horcrux to destroy it and dumbledore has to drink a potion to get it, and it weakens him a lot and stuff, so then they come back and there is the dark mark over the school so dumbledore and harry ride broom sticks to the top tower, and they see draco is there, and harry was right all along, and draco is about to kill dumbledore, but he can’t do it. then snape comes up and kills dumbledore and they all run away and at the end harry looks at the horcrux which is inside a locket and it is actually a fake horcrux, someone already destroyed the real one and their initials were RAB… and he doesn’t know who that is… and i don’t know what else he shows, i guess you can figure that out yourself from the summary
In Half Blood Prince, I believe this book is Harry’s turning point from a child into a man.
He learns to cope with his sorrows and faces them head on, instead of driving everyone away with his bitterness and anger (something he frequently did in Order of the Phoenix).
Harry also begins to see his surroundings in a new light. He begins to read the true characters of people much more easily than the past books. Harry’s easily earned trust and devotion to authority figures has lessened considerably as well.
Also Harry’s romantic interests are at a more mature level than it was before. Harry’s infacuation with Cho Chang was merely puppy love. Her exotic good looks, her older age, and her popularity were the reasons Harry fancied her. In actuality Harry didn’t know a thing about Cho, and when he did get to know her, his crush on her immediately vanished. But his simmering crush on the youngest Weasley isn’t just based on good looks or popularity (although she has both), it based on the fact that when he is with Ginny, he is home.
Ginny is a taste of what Harry wants in his ideal life, but cannot have. Ginny is probably Harry’s light in this book, and in the end sacrificing their love was another show of Harry’s superb bravery.
