Character from harry-potter-half-blood-prince by
Sixteen, grieving Sirius, and chosen by Dumbledore to learn Voldemort's past. He follows a secondhand Potions textbook belonging to the Half-Blood Prince and watches Dumbledore die from the Astronomy Tower.
Harry is Dumbledore's student this year in the truest sense. In private lessons, Dumbledore shows him memories of Tom Riddle's past — the orphanage, the Gaunt family, Hogwarts, the creation of Horcruxes. Harry learns what he must destroy to end Voldemort: the fragments of a soul split six times. He also finds an old Potions textbook scrawled with corrections and invented spells, signed 'Property of the Half-Blood Prince.' It makes him the best Potions student in the school. He uses Sectumsempra — a spell from the book — on Draco and nearly kills him, blood pouring across the bathroom floor. He falls in love with Ginny. He suspects Draco of something terrible and is right. He watches Dumbledore drink poison to retrieve a Horcrux. He stands paralyzed under the Invisibility Cloak on the Astronomy Tower while Snape kills Dumbledore. He chases Snape across the grounds and Snape screams: 'I am the Half-Blood Prince.'
Taller now, growing into his build. Untidy black hair, green eyes, lightning scar. Moving with more purpose and quiet authority — the DA changed him. This year he carries an old Potions textbook everywhere.
