From Quiz "Half-Blood Prince" - 10 Movie Quotes Part [B]

Answer: Professor McGonagall

In the hospital wing, Professor Dumbledore congratulates Harry for using the Bezoar to help save Ron's life. However, Professor McGonagall wants to get to the bottom of why Ron was poisoned at all. Without accusation, Dumbledore takes the questionable bottle of mead from Slughorn, removes the cork and sniffs it. He suspects that licorice and cherries were used to mask poison. Surprisingly, Slughorn was planning to give the mead to Dumbledore as a present. Professor Minerva McGonagall is portrayed by Maggie Smith.

From Quiz "Half-Blood Prince" - Conversation and Location

Answer: A waitress and Harry Potter, in a subway cafe

As a way to release tension during the summer, Harry Potter has been spending time at the subway station in Little Whinging. He visits an underground subway cafe and is reading "The Daily Prophet" newspaper, when a waitress approaches him. She glances at one of the newspaper headlines and strikes up a conversation with Harry. The headline reads, "HARRY POTTER: THE CHOSEN ONE?". Harry pretends not to know who 'Harry Potter' is, calling himself a 'tosser'. Tosser is a slang term used in the United Kingdom for a ridiculous, irritating, ignorant or otherwise useless person. Because the waitress is a muggle (a non-magical being), Harry is trying to conceal the truth of who he is by protecting the contents of "The Daily Prophet" from her.

From Quiz "Half-Blood Prince" - 10 Movie Quotes Part [A]

Answer: Albus Dumbledore

Albus Dumbledore says this to Harry Potter after finding him at the subway station in Little Whinging. Seeing that Dumbledore is able to locate Harry, it stands to reason that Voldemort could just as easily find him. Harry explains that riding the trains is a way to keep his mind off of things. Albus Dumbledore is portrayed by Michael Gambon.

From Quiz Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Answer: Severus Snape and Narcissa Malfoy

This scene shows Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange at Severus Snape's house. Narcissa has come to tell Snape about some information that the Dark Lord has told her. This information is that Voldemort wants her son, Draco, to kill Albus Dumbledore. We don't find that out in this scene, but we know it at the end of the film. Snape makes the Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa to swear he'll look after and help Draco. If you break an Unbreakable Vow you die.

From Quiz "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Part III

Answer: the diary and the ring

When Dumbledore explains horcruxes to Harry, he shows him the ruined shell of Tom Riddle's diary (which Harry destroyed with a Basilisk fang in "Chamber of Secrets") and the ring, the destroying of which blackened Dumbledore's hand. These are two of Voldemort's horcruxes that have been destroyed. In the book "Half-Blood Prince", we learn that the ring once belonged to Salazar Slytherin and had been passed down through his bloodline to Riddle's grandfather. This is not mentioned in the film. Dumbledore is played by Michael Gambon and Harry is played by Daniel Radcliffe.

From Quiz "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Part II

Answer: an apple

Draco successfully sends a green, Granny Smith apple through the Vanishing Cabinet, to its twin, sitting in Borgin and Burkes. When he casts the incantation to bring the apple back, that also works, but the apple is missing a big chunk, indicating that the cabinets are not working properly. The white bird is the object we next see being sent back and forth, but it is dead when it returns. The black bird is the first object to be sent and return whole and alive. Draco is played by Tom Felton.

From Quiz "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Part I

Answer: in a subway (tube) station

We first see Harry in a cafe in a subway (or underground) station. He is reading a paper and flirting with the waitress. Something causes him to look up and, after a subway train passes, he sees Dumbledore standing on the other side of the tracks. Harry uses the stairs to reach Dumbledore, who takes Harry with him, to help him with an important chore. This is very different from the book where Dumbledore calls at the Dursleys' house to collect Harry. The fact that Harry is wandering around alone at night, when witches and wizards are disappearing at an alarming rate, is something that would not have been allowed in the book. However in the movie, the only concession made to this risk is when Dumbledore tells Harry that he's been careless over the summer. Michael Gambon plays Dumbledore and Daniel Radcliffe plays Harry Potter.

From Quiz Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Answer: To convince Horace to return to Hogwarts and teach there

Harry and Dumbledore entered Horace's home and found that the house was in a total mess. Horace disguised himself as an armchair. Eventually, the dragon blood gave it away and Dumbledore knew that the armchair was indeed, none other than Horace himself. Horace claimed that he needed to do so to protect himself from the Death Eaters who were now lurking around everywhere, causing troubles and injuring people. Dumbledore introduced Harry to Horace and clarified his intention of visiting him - he wanted him to come out of his retirement and go back to teach at Hogwarts. At first, Horace turned down the offer, however, after his conversation with Harry, he had a second thought and eventually agreed to do so.

From Quiz Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Answer: He uses dragon blood instead of human blood.

Horace Slughorn is in hiding from the Death Eaters. Harry and Dumbledore come to ask him to resume his old post as Potions Master at Hogwarts. Dumbledore really wants him back to get a memory from him. Harry and Dumbledore walk into the house he is hiding in. It is trashed. Furniture is toppled, photographs are smashed, blood is dripping from the ceiling. Dumbledore tastes the blood and recognises it as dragon blood. He touches an armchair with his wand and it transfigures into Slughorn.

From Quiz "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Part III

Answer: Luna Lovegood

Harry initially suggests to Hermione that they go together but she, upset with Ron's new girlfriend, has already asked Cormac, in an attempt to make Ron jealous. So, Harry invites Luna, making sure she knows that it is just as a friend. A one time member of Dumbledore's Army, Luna's quirky habit of saying things that most people wouldn't dream of saying make her a most endearing character. She is aware of the fact that many people call her Loony and that she doesn't have many real friends, but doesn't seem to feel sorry for herself. Luna is played by Eavnna Lynch.

From Quiz "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Part II

Answer: It has been altered.

The memory is of a conversation that Slughorn and Riddle had about horcruxes. In the altered memory, Riddle asked Slughorn about horcruxes but he refused to discuss them, because they were such dark magic. In the real memory, which Dumbledore desperately needs, Slughorn does answer Riddle's questions. His shame at having done this with the young student is what caused Slughorn to alter his memory before giving it to Dumbledore. Dumbledore needs Harry to get close to Slughorn, to get the accurate memory. Dumbledore is played by Michael Gambon, Harry by Daniel Radcliffe and Slughorn by Jim Broadbent.

From Quiz "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Part I

Once inside, they find that the extent of the wreckage is extensive and there is a large patch of blood dripping down from the ceiling. A drop falls on Harry's face and Dumbledore tastes it. He then points his wand at the chair which turns out to be a disguised Slughorn. Slughorn explains that he has said no to the Death Eaters a few times and is worried about repercussions. He then asks Dumbledore what gave him away and Dumbledore says "Dragon's blood." Slughorn is played by Jim Broadbent.

From Quiz "Half-Blood Prince" - Conversation and Location

Answer: Hermione, Harry and Ron, in Ron's bedroom at the Burrow

The Burrow is one of Harry Potter's favorite places to spend time. He is free to be himself there and enjoys being with the Weasley family, especially with his best friend Ron. After arriving at the Burrow from Budleigh Babberton, Harry, Ron and Hermione go to Ron's bedroom for a bit of privacy. Ron and Hermione are telling Harry about the things that happened during the summer. Ron informs Harry that earlier his mother was in a panic about allowing him and Ginny to return to Hogwarts. However, his father calmed his mother's nerves. Hermione also tells Harry that her muggle (non-magical) parents have also been uneasy, especially concerning Dumbledore. Harry is surprised to hear that people are beginning to question Dumbledore's abilities. They discuss Dumbledore's age and conclude that Dumbledore must be at least 150 years old. This is one of many references to Dumbledore's age throughout the movie, which serve to foreshadow Dumbledore's death.

From Quiz "Half-Blood Prince" - 10 Movie Quotes Part [A]

Answer: Unbreakable

Bellatrix Lestrange accompanies her sister, Narcissa Malfoy, to Severus Snape's house. Narcissa is worried about the safety of Draco Malfoy, since Voldemort has taken him under his wings. Seeing that Bellatrix does not trust Snape, Bellatrix basically demands that he make the Unbreakable Vow. To ensure Snape commits to helping Draco, Bellatrix uses a bit of reverse psychology and calls him a coward. Snape has little recourse. He promises to protect Draco and to finish Draco's task, should he fail. Bellatrix Lestrange is played by Helena Bonham Carter.

From Quiz Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

From Quiz "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Part II

Answer: The Three Broomsticks

Dumbledore has asked Harry to allow Slughorn to 'collect' him, so when Harry sees Slughorn at the pub, he encourages him to join them for a drink. Slughorn has obviously already had a few and makes some comment about how he and The Three Broomsticks go back a long way. Then he makes a lame joke about how he knew it when it was The One Broomstick.

From Quiz "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Part I

Answer: Wormtail

When the two women first knock on the door, it is Wormtail who answers it. Snape then dismisses him before engaging in a conversation with the women, using his wand to cause the door to slam in Wormtail's face. As this is the only time he is seen in the entire movie, one wonders why they bothered including him. Wormtail's real name is Peter Pettigrew, and he is the Death Eater who revealed the Potter's location to Voldemort, on the night that James and Lily were killed. He faked his own death (causing Sirius to be imprisoned for it) and spent years hiding out as the Weasley's pet rat. Lucius Malfoy, we learn from the headlines in the paper that Harry was reading, is a prisoner in Azkaban. Wormtail is played by Timothy Spall.
