Test yourself! Take this Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Quiz | Harry Potter

Answer: Rufus Scrimgeour

Cornelius Fudge was fired because of all the magic being seen in the muggle world, as well as the amount of murders that have been taking place. Amelia Bones, one of the choices, was one of those people who were murdered. She was head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Answer: Ron Weasley

Slughorn tends to favor people who are going places. One of his favorite students was Lily Potter, Harry's mother. He also favors Harry since he is now being called "The Chosen One".

Answer: Slytherin

I found it rather surprising he was head of Slytherin the way he favored both Lily and Harry so much. We also learn from Slughorn that Sirius Black was in Gryffindor, and his brother Regulus was in Slytherin.

Answer: 7

The only two O.W.L.S. Harry didn't get were Divination and History of Magic, but he was happy with his report for the most part. He was upset he only received an E (Exceed Expectations) in Potions because Snape said the only people who could continue in that class were the ones who got an O (Outstanding). Harry hated Snape, but wanted to stay in the class to become an Auror.

Answer: Tonks

Tonks helps Harry get to Hogwarts where Snape meets him. Of course, Snape takes points from Gryffindor because Harry was late.

Answer: Harry Potter

Harry replaced Angelina who graduated in the previous year.

Answer: Katie Bell

Harry believes the curse was done by Draco, but Professor McGonagall says Draco had detention with her. However, this doesn't stop Harry from believing Draco was somehow involved. Harry gets to the point where he becomes obsessed with Draco.

Answer: Merope and Tom Riddle Sr.

Voldemort's mother died shortly after giving birth to him so he was raised in an orphanage. Years later, he found his father, Tom Riddle Sr. and killed him for abandoning his mother when she was pregnant.

Answer: Dean Thomas

Harry can't figure out at first why it bothers him to see Ginny kiss Dean. Then he starts to figure that Ginny is like a little sister to him. Therefore he is being protective of her in the same way the Weasley boys are. Finally Harry realizes he loves her and it turns out later that she also loves him.

Answer: a stone from a goat's stomach

The bezoar protects against most poisons. Harry learned about this when Snape taught potions. He didn't remember it until the Half-Blood Prince gave him the answer in the potions book that Harry now had.

Answer: Divination

If a person isn't determined splinching occurs. This happened to Susan Bones. Splinching is when your body is separated into parts.

Answer: Aragog

Aragog was the spider we met in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Grawp doesn't die, he is Hagrid's brother. Oliver Wood graduated two years ago and was replaced by Angelina who graduated last year. Now Harry is captain. Felix Felicis is not a person at all but a potion that causes a person to have good luck.

It's this potion that Harry uses to go to see Hagrid when Aragog dies.

Answer: Severus Snape

Harry had warned Dumbledore for years now that Snape couldn't be trusted. Dumbledore had always trusted him, and it turns out that Snape was the Half-Blood Prince and was still very much a Death Eater. Malfoy was supposed to kill Dumbledore, but only succeeded in knocking the wand out of his hand, so Snape finished Dumbledore off with the "Avada Kedavra" curse.

Answer: Sectumsempra

"Sectumsempra" was the curse that Harry used earlier on Draco not knowing what it did. It turned out that it was like someone taking a huge knife and slashing another person up with it. After Snape kills Dumbledore, Harry tries to use the same curse on Snape, and Snape says: "You dare use my own spells against me, Potter? It was I who invented them - I, the Half-Blood Prince!"

Answer: He's not returning to Hogwarts next year

He says he can't return to Hogwarts because he has to find the Horcruxes and finish off Voldemort for good. He also says if he runs into Snape, he'll finish him off too. Harry was very loyal to Dumbledore, much to the annoyance of the Ministry of Magic.

He didn't like Snape before, but now, he hates him and wants to see him dead. Harry actually breaks up with Ginny because he noticed that Voldemort likes to kill anyone he cares about. Harry cares too much about her to let her get killed.
