Congrats on the It won't help you on the cruise but it passes the time waiting for it to start . . .

Note to all: Andrew's syndrome strikes again for me -- premature pirate posting.

Snape is the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher. The new teacher at Hogwarts, Horace Slughorn, teaches Potions (Snape's old subject).

The Half Blood Prince is a name found in a used Advanced potions book Harry uses that gives helpful potions tips and spells, one of which is extremely dangerous. The Half-Blood Prince turns out to be Severus Snape. Half-Blood refers to the fact that his father was a muggle (Tobias Snape) but the Prince part refers to his mother's maiden name (Eileen Prince).

Harry rightly suspects Draco Malfoy of being a Death Eater. Draco manages to sneak Death Eaters into Hogwarts using a pair of vanishing cabinets. Draco was supposed to kill Dumbledore, but finds himself unable to.

Dumbledore and Harry explore Voldemort's past, learning about Horcruxes, which are divisions of Voldemort's soul, making him immortal until they are all destroyed. There are Seven pieces of his soul (two already destroyed) including the one in Voldemort. Harry and Dumbledore try to get one, but the aftermath leaves Dumbledore weak and unable to fight off the Death Eaters.

It turns out the Death Eater that overheard the prophecy and told it to Voldemort (leading to Harry's parents' deaths) was Severus Snape. Snape turns up after Draco cannot kill Dumbledore and kills Dumbledore. Draco, Snape, and the Death Eaters escape afterwards. Hogwarts is probably going to be closed but Harry announces he won't be returning anyway; he will attempt to finish the work he a Dumbledore started, destroying Horcruxes so Voldemort can be destroyed.

SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ 6!!!

Been a while since I read it so I might be a little off... but Snape made a deal with Malfoy's mom to protect Malfoy. There was a lot of stuff about casting spells without voicing them. Bad guys used a magic dresser in the closet to invade Hogwarts since Malfoy was told he needed to kill Dumbledoor for admittance into the Deatheaters.

Snape stepped forward in front of Malfoy and delivered the killing shot at Dumbledoor. Speculation is that either Snape really did turn bad or that he was using the spell without speaking and cast a different spell than he actually said in order to infiltrate the Deatheaters again.

I know I missed a LOT of information - but I think that is the important stuff.


eta: Bellalinus beat me to it and did a better job than me

I was but got carried away with Harry.

Still like Snape

Well, while watching the Order of the Phoenix movie, it was confusing to me why, if Snape is really completely on the dark side, he would try to teach Harry to shield his thoughts against Voldemort . . . of course, you could always argue that he didn't teach it very well, and that might have been the point. I still say that if Snape is truly evil, it makes Dumbledore out to be a fool, which I dont believe.
