. The Story
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince the Video Game,
Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding
worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was.
Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but
Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle
that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the
key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore
recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and
unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he
believes holds crucial information.
Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different,
but equally unavoidable adversary as teenage hormones rage across
the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny,
but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is
the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane’s
chocolates. And then there’s Hermione, simmering with jealously,
but determined not to show her feelings. Yet as romance blossoms
throughout Hogwarts, one student remains aloof. He is determined
to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but
tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
Gameplay
Like earlier video game releases in the Harry Potter franchise,
the action in Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince the Video

that results from what you uncover. The game features both an
engrossing single player mode as well as local multiplayer modes
for up to two players. During their adventures, players will have
a chance to engage in exciting wizard duels, mix and brew magical
ingredients in potions class and take to the air to lead the
Gryffindor Quidditch team to victory. Players may even get
sidetracked by Ron’s romantic entanglements as they journey
towards a dramatic climax and discover the identity of the
Half-Blood Prince.
