CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the study

In learning English, learners learn to know the meaning of English words; either

the words are in single word or in a group. They usually open up the dictionary to

find the meaning of words. Yet, in English, there are words that can’t be found in the

dictionary, and there are phrases or sentences that can’t be explained in grammar

theories. This special feature of English language is called idiom.

As defined by The New International Webster’s College Dictionary, an idiom

is an expression not readily analyzable from its grammatical construction or from the

meaning of its component parts. It is the part of the distinctive form or construction of

a particular language that has a specific form or style present only in that language.

While, Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary states that idiom is the kind of

language and grammar used by particular people at a particular time or place.

Furthermore, idioms, as linguistic feature, present some of the most difficult materials

for learners of English as a foreign or second language to successfully understand.

The difficulties in understanding idioms arise from two different characteristics of

language. The meaning of many idioms often does not correspond to idiom's

individual components (www.articleinsider.com).

1
2

In some senses, idioms are the reflection of the environment, life, and historical

culture of the native speakers and are closely associated with their innermost spirit

and feelings. They are commonly used in all types of language, informal and formal,

spoken and written. As idioms are important part of languages, understanding of a

language requires understanding of its idioms and the tactics for idiom translation.

(www.ccsenet.org/journal.htm)

The writer chooses Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’s movie to analyze

idioms that may occur. The writer chooses movie because English movie is one of the

effective media to understand English. The writer chooses Harry Potter and the Half

Blood Prince’s movie this movie is a popular movie. It is on the 4th (forth) rank of All

Time Worldwide Charts and it was nominated on Oscar 2009

(http://boxofficemojo.com). It is proved that a lot of people watch and like this

movie. The writer chooses this movie because there are many idioms that occur in

this movie. Moreover, the idioms that are spoken are often used by teenagers, so the

idioms will be suitable to learn by students. All in all, the writer decides to write a

paper entitled The Use of Idioms Found in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’s

Movie by David Yates.

B. Limitation of the Study

The analysis of this paper is limited on the idioms which are in the form of

phrase. The analysis will be conducted towards the dialogues of the movie.
3

C. Formulation of the Study

In this paper, the writer will analyze the idioms in Harry Potter and the Half

Blood Prince’s movie. The central problems to be analyzed in this paper are:

1. How far are idioms used in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’s movie?

2. What are the forms of idioms in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’s

movie?

3. What are the meanings of idioms that occur in Harry Potter and the Half

Blood Prince’s movie?

D. Method of Writing the Paper

1. Library Study

The writer reads and collects the reference books and articles which deal with

idioms as the subject of the paper. She collects the theories about idioms then

she searches the dictionaries of idioms. She uses three idiom dictionaries to

do the analysis of meaning. Then she searches the movie which will be

analyzed. She decides to use Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’s movie

to be analyzed because this movie has many idioms. Then, to help her

understanding the movie, she searches the written script of Harry Potter and

the Half Blood Prince’s movie.


4

2. Observation

The writer watches Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’s movie to

understand the story and to match the written script with the real dialogues of

the movie. She fixes the written script based on the real dialogue on the

movie. Afterwards, she writes down sentences which use idioms from the

written script based on the context of the dialogues in the movie.

3. Application

The writer analyzes the meanings of idioms based on the idioms dictionaries

and decides the exact meaning of each idiom based on the context of the

sentence and the story of the movie. Then, she uses the theories of idioms

from the reference books and articles to analyze the form of idioms.

4. Conclusion

The writer makes conclusion after she analyzes the application of idioms in

the written script. Then, she makes suggestions for readers based on her

experience when analyzing the application of idioms in the movie.


5

E. Objectives

The objectives of the study are :

1. To find out the number and forms of idioms that are used in Harry Potter and

the Half Blood Prince’s movie.

2. To find out the meaning of idioms that are used in Harry Potter and the Half

Blood Prince’s movie.

F. Significances

The paper is expected to inform students, especially foreign language students,

that learning English can be done by watching movie and other fun activities. The

paper is also expected to give advantage for English movie’s viewers to understand

the idioms that may occur in a movie, not only in Harry Potter and the Half Blood

Prince’s movie. Besides, this can also be used in the English class, especially in

relation to the teaching of idioms.

For other writers who are interested in analizing idioms, the paper can be a

reference.
CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITHERATURE

This paper discusses idioms. To have a clear description of the aspects of idiom,

the writer explains it from the general terms, as follows:

A. Idioms

A S Hornby on Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English

(1974:421) defines idiom as a phrase or sentence whose meaning is not obvious

through knowledge of the individual meanings of the constituent words but must be

learnt as a whole.

Michael Swan (1995:243) proposed an expression like turn up (meaning

‘arrive’), break even (meaning ‘make neither a profit nor a loss’) or a can of worms

(meaning ‘a complicated problem’) can be difficult to understand, because its

meaning is different from the meanings of the separate words in the expression.

Expression like this called idioms. Idioms are usually special to one language and

cannot be translated word for word.

Douglas Biber, Susan Conrad, Geoffrey Leech, (2002;18) stated that an idiom,

like many compounds, is a multi-word unit with a meaning that cannot be predicted

from the meanings of its constituent words. A typical example is a verb expression

like fall in love or make up (one’s) mind. However, the boundary between idioms and

freely chosen combinations is not always clear.

6
7

Three definitions of idiom have been written above, but basically they contain a

similar definition: an idiom is a multi-word expression whose meaning is different

from the meaning of the individual words, so it must be learnt as a whole.

B. Forms of Idioms

Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English defines idiom as

a phrase or sentence whose meaning is not obvious through knowledge of the

individual meanings of the constituent words but must be learnt as a whole.

From the definition above we know that in fact the forms of idioms can be two:

sentence or phrase.

1. Definitions of Sentence and Phrase

Before going on, to know more clearly about the theory of sentence and phrase,

the writer discusses the scientific definitions of sentence and phrase as follows:

a) The definition of sentence

A S Hornby (1974;777) defines sentence is the largest grammatical unit,

consisting of phrases and/or clause, used to express a statement, question,

command, etc. Besides, A S Hornby (1974;629) defines phrase as a group of

words (often without a finite verb) forming part of a sentence. A S Hornby

(1974;153) also defines clause as a (gram) component of a (complex) sentence

with its own subject and predicate, especially one doing the work of a noun,

adjective or adverb.
8

The writer syntezises that a sentence at least has to have a subject and

predicate in it. The example of sentence is:

• My mother gives me a beautiful dress.

This example is a sentence because it has a subject and a predicate.

1) Subject : My mother

2) Predicate : gives

b) The definition of phrase

A S Hornby (1974;629) defines phrase is group of words (often without a

finite verb) forming part of a sentence. In grammar, a phrase is a group of

words functioning as a single unit in the syntax of sentence. (wikipedia.com)

Geoffrey Leech (2001;289) states that in English phrases, there is usually one

word which is the main word in the phrase and we can add one or more

modifiers to this to specify its meaning more exactly. The main word is called

a head word. The names of the phrases based on the kind of the head word in

the phrase.

Douglas Biber (2002;38) states that a phrase may consist of a single word or a

group of words. Phrases can be identified by substitution, that is by replacing

one expression with another, to see how it fits into the structure. In particular,

a multi word phrase can often be replaced by a single-word phrase without

changing the basic meaning. Douglas (2002;39) writes down the example of

diagram that shows us the position and function of a phrase in a clause.

They passed the table with the two men

From the explanation above, the writer syntezise that a phrase is made from a

word or a group of words, which behaves like units : subject, verb, predicate,

object, adverb; in clause or sentence. The example of phrase is:

• On the bedroom floor

This example is a phrase because it has no subject and predicate. As a

phrase, it behaves as adverb.

2. Idioms as Sentences and Phrases

Now, the writer will give examples of idioms used both as a phrase and a

sentence.

a) Idiom as a sentence:

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.

Idiom above is in a form of sentence because it has a subject and a predicate.

• Subject: A chain

• Predicate: is
10

This idiom means that processes, organizations, etc, are vulnerable because

the weakest person or part can always damage or break them.

b) Idiom as a phrase:

Get in touch with someone.

Idiom above is in a form of phrase because it has no subject. It only has a

predicate: Get. Whereas, a sentence at least has to have a subject and a

predicate. So, it is included in idiom as a phrase. In a sentence, this idiom

usually behaves as predicate.

This idiom means to communicate with someone or to telephone or write to

someone.

3. The Division of Idioms as Phrases

In this paper, the writer limits the discussion on idioms as phrases, so the writer

tries to find deep theories of idiom as a phrase.

Douglas Biber, Susan Conrad, Geoffrey Leech, (2002;18) defines that the

boundary between idioms and freely chosen combinations is not always clear.

Then, Geoffrey Leech (2001:205) states Phrasal Verbs and Phrasal-Prepositional

Verbs are an important classes of idioms. Moreover, Dr Tan Cheng Lim PhD

(2004: Preface) purposes english idioms takes different forms and are unclear in

meaning on the surface structure. Generally speaking, they consist of the

following six types:

a) Phrasal Verbs

b) Prepositional Phrases
11

c) Idioms with verbs as keywords

d) Idioms with nouns as keywords

e) Idioms with adjectives as keywords

f) Idiomatic pairs

Based on the explanation above and the writer’s library study process, she

syntezises that there is no exact structure or syntax of English idioms. So, the

writer combines the two statement above to analyze idioms which will be found

on the script. In the result, there are 7 (seven) forms of idioms which will be

analyzed. Here are the further explanation:

a) Phrasal Verbs

Geoffrey Leech (2001:392) mentioned “A phrasal verbs consists of

VERB + ADVERB. The two words form an idiom. It is called a phrasal verb

only if the adverb changes the meaning of the verb.”

Such phrasal verbs are the main way new verbs enter the English language.

They usually begin in casual speech where they become part of our everyday

vocabulary and eventually become recognized as acceptable standard usage.

(www.uhv.edu/ac)

The example of phrasal verbs as idioms are:

(1). Broke down means stopped working.

(2). Grow up means becoming adults.

(3). Look out means a warning.


12

Most of the adverbs in phrasal verbs are related to prepositions, so they are

known as Prepositional Adverbs. The example of prepositional adverbs which

form phrasal verbs are: about, around, on, up, in, over, etc.

b) Phrasal-Prepositional Verbs

The next class of idioms is Phrasal-Prepositional Verbs. Phrasal-Prepositional

Verbs are partly phrasal verbs and partly prepositional verbs. Like phrasal

verbs (e. g take off), they have an adverb following the verb. Like

prepositional verbs (e. g looks at), they have a preposition following the verb.

The form of Phrasal-Prepositional verb is

VERB + ADVERB + PREPOSITION

Here are some examples:

(1). Look up to means respect.

(2). Looking forward to means waiting in an excitement.

Geoffrey Leech (2001:391-393) states that the purpose of the adverb is to

change the meaning of the verb and the purpose of the preposition is to link

the noun phrase to the verb (+adverb).

c) Prepositional Phrase

Geoffrey Leech (2001:413) states prepositional phrase is a group of words

composed of a preposition and the word(s) which follow(s) it (normally a

noun phrase).

Forms of Prepositional Phrase are:

(1). PREPOSITION + NOUN PHRASE


13

(2). PREPOSITION + PRONOUN

(3). PREPOSITION + -ING CLAUSE

(4). PREPOSITION + WH- CLAUSE

(5). PREPOSITION + ADVERB

The examples of Prepositional Phrase as idioms are:

(1). In a nutshell means in a few words.

(2). From time to time means occasionally.

(3). With a view to means with the intention of doing something.

d) Idioms with verbs as keywords

For example:

(1). Come in handy means prove to be useful.

(2). Fight shy of means avoid

(3). Leave no stone unturned means use every possible means.

e) Idioms with nouns as keywords

For example:

(1). Child’s play means something very easy to do.

(2). A blessing disguise means something that turns out to be fortunate and

advantageous after seeming to be the opposite at first.

(3). Food for thought means something to think about.

f) Idioms with adjectives as keywords

For example:

(1). Cold comfort means no comfort or consolation at all.


14

(2). Wishful thinking means believing that something is true or that something

will happen just because one wishes that it were true or would happen.

(3). Plan sailing means an easy course.

g) Idiomatic pairs

For example:

(1). Safe and sound means safe and whole or healthy.

(2). Do or die means to do something or die trying.

(3). Sink or swim means to fail or succeed.


CHAPTER III

FINDINGS

A. The Summary of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’s Movie

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is Harry Potter’s sixth movie. From its

previous movies, it was told that Harry Potter is an orphan boy. Since child, he lives with

his aunt, uncle and his cousin. They don’t treat him well. When he grew up, someone

which is mysterious came and told him that he has a magic skill. Then, he spends his live

in a magic school, Hogwarts. He has two best friends, Hermione and Ron. He has a big

enemy, the greatest evil wizard in the wizard world, Voldemort, known as You-Know-

Who or the Dark Lord. Year by year, Harry, Hermione and Ron, helped by his

Headmaster, Dumbledore tries to fight against Voldemort.

On his sixth year in Hogwarts, Harry starts his journey with Dumbledore to persuade

Professor Horace Slughorn to return teaching. Then, he comes to Ron’s house. They buy

school equipment and visit Fred and George’s new shop. They meet Draco and his

mother who walk on the dark alley suspiciously. At Hogwarts, Slughorn becomes the

Potions teacher. Harry and Ron are able to enroll in his class, and Harry borrows a special

book that makes him winning a vial of Felix Felicis, a luck potion. The book formerly

belonged to "The Half-Blood Prince".

Harry becomes suspicious of his rival Draco Malfoy, and when Katie Bell is almost

killed while attempting to deliver a cursed necklace under the influence of the Imperius

Curse. Then, after winning Quidditch Cup, Ron dates with Lavender Brown, creating a

divide between him and Hermione. This rift is only mended when he accidentally

consumes a love potion and then poisoned mead which almost kills him.

15

Dumbledore tells Harry to use his Pensieve to show him memories of Voldemort's

past. Dumbledore asks Harry to retrieve a key memory from Slughorn regarding

Slughorn's conversation with a young Tom Riddle. Harry uses some of his Felix Felicis

to acquire the memory.

The memories reveal that Voldemort splintered his soul into six fragments attached to

objects called Horcruxes, while leaving a seventh piece in his body, in order to achieve

immortality. Two Horcruxes have been destroyed - Tom Riddle's diary, by Harry in the

Chamber of Secrets four years earlier, and Marvolo Gaunt's ring, by Dumbledore.

Dumbledore locates another Horcrux and asks Harry to accompany him to destroy it.

They travel to a cave and retrieve a locket, but Dumbledore is weakened after drinking a

potion to obtain the Horcrux. They successfully back to the school. Dumbledore are

confronted at the top the tower by Draco Malfoy. Draco admits that he was behind two

attacks on Hogwarts students, with both objects intended for Dumbledore, whom

Voldemort had ordered Draco to kill. At the end, Snape kills Dumbledore. Harry is angry,

run after Snape, who reveals that he is the Half-Blood Prince then disapparates with

Draco and the Death Eaters.

Harry recovers the locket from Dumbledore's body, only to discover it is a fake left

by someone with the initials R. A. B., who stole the real Horcrux and left a note about his

opposition to Voldemort. The school year ends with Dumbledore's death. Harry vows to

hunt for the remaining Horcruxes instead.

Quantity: 2 idioms

Percentage: 2.8 %

Idioms which were found have no exact grammatical structure. Especially for

the forth until sixth form of idioms: idioms with verbs as keywords, idioms with

nouns as keywords and idioms with adjectives as keywords. The keywords and

words which form the idiom have differences in grammatical structure for each

idiom. The writer determines the keywords based on which word that mostly

influences the whole phrase and the meaning of its.

The writer also finds one form of idioms besides 7 (seven) forms mentioned

above. She finds idioms which are formed by Adverb + Preposition + Pronoun

and Adverb + Preposition. The forms are not mentioned on the Review of Related

Literature. So, the writer includes them on the writer’s findings.

Idioms as phrases follow the tenses of the sentence. So, most idioms which are

formed by verbs: phrasal verbs form, and have a verb as keywords have many

forms of verb based on the tenses of the sentence.

On the dictionary, idioms have many meanings, but each idiom has a meaning

depends on its context and story. Although there are some idioms which have the

same forms and words but they have different meaning according to the context

and story. On the findings, there are two idioms of come along which were found.

(page 39, dialogue 687) means accompany.

There is finding which show that phrase which has an idiomatic meaning is not

always an idiom. It may be has a literal meaning. For example look like. This

phrase has an idiomatic meaning and also literal meaning depends on its context.

In findings, look like (page 2, dialogue 33) means resemble, but look like (page 8,

dialogue 131) has a literal meaning: look like means seem (to be)

B. Suggestion

An English movie can be media to teach the study of the language meaning.

According to Professor Sir Randolph Quirk (1987; 380) in Longman Dictionary

of Contemporary English, English movie is a story of western life (European or

American) which has been presented on television or at the cinema and become

entertainment. According to Hudoro Sumeto, MBA (2003; 35) in Kiat Menguasai

Bahasa Asing, said that:

The role of radio and television are also very importance in learning foreign
language. Because by listening and watching television, we are used to hearing
pronunciation and speaking from foreign language which we learn. We can hear
news or film which are presented by both of them. In listening or watching, we
learn to understand what the people said and also increase vocabulary.

So far teacher or lecturer seems only use English movie to teach about

listening, whereas the movie has many language forms in it. This analysis show

one of language forms – idioms – that can be found in movie. Studying idiom

from an English movie can be helpful since the movie has clear example about

when, where, how and what idiom can be used.


71

It is time for English Learners to considering a movie as media of teaching and

learning. Through fun and interesting media, student can learn how to understand

idioms. They will found the fact that words in idioms have different meaning with

dictionary.

Based on the conclusion, the writer would like to give some suggestions. First,

in learning English idioms, learners should notice to use feeling and pay attention

on the context where the idiom is occurred because one idiom has many meanings

in the dictionary.

Second, understanding the meaning of idioms is quite difficult. English

learners need to check on the dictionary to get the definite meaning of the idioms.

But, based on the analysis that the form of idioms which are mostly found is

phrasal verb, the writer suggests that English learners may notice the verb of the

idiom with a form of phrasal verb. The verb is the keyword and the meaning of

the idioms mostly based on the meaning of the verb. So, if English learners are in

the urgent situation, they may use this technique.

Oh. Um. No one. Bit of a tosser, really.

WAITRESS
Funny that paper of yours. Couple nights ago, I could’ve sworn I saw one of
the pictures move.

HARRY
Really.

WAITRESS
Thought I'd gone round the twist.

HARRY
Hey. I was wondering...

WAITRESS
Eleven. That's when I get off. You can tell me all about that tosser Harry
Potter.

DUMBLEDORE
You've been reckless this summer, Harry.

HARRY
I like riding round on the trains.It takes my mind off... things.

DUMBLEDORE
Rather unpleasant to behold, isn't it? The tale is thrilling if I do say so
myself, but now is not the time to tell it. Take my arm. Do as I say.

HARRY
I just Apparated, didn't I?

DUMBLEDORE
Indeed. And quite successfully too I might add. Most people vomit their
first time.

HARRY
Can't imagine why...

DUMBLEDORE
Welcome to the charming village of Budleigh Babberton, Harry. I assume
right about now you're wondering why I've brought you here, am I right?

HARRY
After all these years, I just sort of roll with it, sir.

DUMBLEDORE
Wands out, Harry.
DUMBLEDORE
Horace!

ARMCHAIR
Merlin's Beard!

SLUGHORN
There's no need to disfigure me, Albus!

DUMBLEDORE
I must say, you make a very convincing armchair, Horace.

SLUGHORN
It's all in the upholstery. I come by the stuffing naturally. What gave me
away?

DUMBLEDORE
Dragon's blood.

SLUGHORN
Oho!

DUMBLEDORE
Ah yes. Introductions. Harry, this is an old friend and colleague of mine,
Horace Slughorn. Horace, this is, well, you know who this is.

SLUGHORN
Harry Potter

DUMBLEDORE
So why all the theatrics, Horace? You weren't by any chance waiting for
someone else, were you?

SLUGHORN
S-someone else? I'm sure I don't know what you mean.

SLUGHORN
Oh all right! The Death Eaters have been trying to recruit me for over a
year. Do you know what that's like? One can only say no to these people so
many times before they...I never stay anywhere more than a week. The
Muggles who own this place are in the Canary Islands.

DUMBLEDORE
Well, I think it should be put back in order for them, don't you, mind?

DUMBLEDORE
That was fun. Do you mind if I use the loo?

SLUGHORN
No, of course!
Don't think I don't know why you're here, Albus! The answer is still no!
Absolutely, unequivocally no!

SLUGHORN
You look very like your father. Except for your eyes. You've got --

HARRY
My mother's eyes, yeah.

SLUGHORN
Lily. Lovely Lily. She was exceedingly bright -- your mother. Even more
impressive when one considers she was Muggle-born.

HARRY
One of my best friends is Muggle-born. She's the best in our year.

SLUGHORN
Oh, but you mustn't think I'm prejudiced! No, no, no! Your mother was one
of my absolute favorites! Look, there she is. Right at the front.

SLUGHORN
All mine, each and every one. Ex-students, I mean. You recognize Barnubas
Cuffe, of course, editor of the Daily Prophet.
(MORE)

SLUGHORN (CONT'D)
Always takes my owl should I want register my opinion on the news the day.
And Gwenog Jones, of the Holyhead Harpies -- free tickets whenever I want
them. Of course, I haven't been to a match in some time...

SLUGHORN
Ah yes. Regulus Black. You no doubt know of his older brother Sirius. Died
a few weeks ago. I taught the whole Black family except Sirius. Shame.
Talented boy. I got Regulus when he came along, of course, but I'd have
liked the set.

DUMBLEDORE
Horace, Mind if I take this? I do love knitting patterns.

SLUGHORN
Of course. But you're not leaving?

DUMBLEDORE
I think I know a lost cause when I see one. Regrettable. I would have
considered it a personal triumph had you consented to return to Hogwarts,
Horace. You are, like my friend Mr. Potter -- one of a kind. Bye bye
Horace!

SLUGHORN
All right! I'll do it. But I'll be wanting Professor Merrythought's old
office, not that water closet I had before. And I expect a raise! These are
mad times we live in! Mad!

DUMBLEDORE
They are, Indeed.

HARRY
Sir, exactly what was that all --

DUMBLEDORE
You are talented, famous and powerful -- everything Horace values.
Professor Slughorn is going to try to collect you, Harry. You would be his
crowning jewel. That is why he is returning to Hogwarts. And it is crucial
he should return...

DUMBLEDORE
I fear I may have stolen a wondrous night from you, Harry. She was,
truthfully, very pretty. The girl.

HARRY
It's alright, sir. I'll go back tomorrow, make some excuse --

DUMBLEDORE
You'll not be going back to Little Whinging tonight, Harry.

HARRY
But, sir. What about Hedwig? And there's my trunk --

DUMBLEDORE
Both are waiting for you.

GINNY
Hedwig...? Mum!
MRS. WEASLEY
What is it, Ginny?

GINNY
I was only wondering when Harry got here.

MRS. WEASLEY
Harry who?

GINNY
Harry Potter, of course.

MRS. WEASLEY
I think I'd know if Harry Potter was in my house, wouldn't I?

GINNY
Well his trunk's in the kitchen. And his owl.

MRS. WEASLEY
No Dear, I seriously doubt that.

RON
Harry? Did someone say Harry?

GINNY
Me, nosy. Is he up there with you?

RON
`Course not. Think I'd know if my best friend was in my room,wouldn't I?

HERMIONE
Was that an owl I heard?

GINNY
Harry's. Haven't seen him, have you? Apparently, he's wandering about the
house.

HERMIONE
Really?

HARRY (O.S.)
Really.

RON/HERMIONE/MRS. WEASLEY
Harry!

MRS. WEASLEY
What a lovely surprise! Why didn't you let us know you were coming?
HARRY
Didn't know. Dumbledore.

MRS. WEASLEY
That man. But then, what would we without him? Ron!

RON
Got a bit of toothpaste..

HARRY
When'd you get here?

HERMIONE
A few days ago. Though... for a while, I wasn't sure I was coming.

RON
Mum sort of lost it last week. Said Ginny and I had no business going back
to Hogwarts. That it's too dangerous.

HARRY
Oh come on...

HERMIONE
She's not alone. Even my parents -- and they're Muggles – know something
bad is happening.

RON
Anyway, Dad stepped in, told her she was being barmy. Took a day or two,
but she came round.

HARRY
But we're talking about Hogwarts.Dumbledore. What could be safer?

HERMIONE
There's been a lot of chatter lately. That he's gotten... old.

HARRY
Rubbish. He's only -- what?

RON
A hundred and fifty. Give or take a few years.

BELLATRIX
Cissy! You can't do this.He can't be trusted.

NARCISSA
The Dark Lord trusts him.

BELLATRIX
The Dark Lord is mistaken.

SNAPE
Run along, Wormtail.

NARCISSA
I know I ought not to be here. Dark Lord himself has forbidden me to speak
of this --

SNAPE
If the Dark Lord has forbidden it,ought not to speak.
Put it down, Bella. We mustn't touch what isn't ours.

SNAPE
As it so happens I'm aware of your situation, Narcissa.

BELLATRIX
The Dark Lord told you?You?

SNAPE
Your sister doubts me.Understandable.
(MORE)

SNAPE
Over the years I have played my part well. So well I've deceived one of the
greatest wizards of all time.

SNAPE
Dumbledore is a great wizard. Only a fool would question it.

NARCISSA
I... I don't doubt you, Severus.

BELLATRIX
You should feel honored, Cissy. As should Draco --

NARCISSA
He's just a boy!

SNAPE
I can't change the Dark Lord's mind. But it might be possible for me to
help Draco. To provide some... protection.

NARCISSA
Severus..

BELLATRIX
Swear to it.

BELLATRIX
Make the Unbreakable Vow. You see. It's just empty words.He'll give it his
best effort. But when it matters most he'll slither back into his hole.
Bloody coward...

SNAPE
Take out your wand.

BELLATRIX
Will you, Severus Snape, watch over Draco Malfoy as he attempts to fulfill
the Dark Lord's wishes.

SNAPE
I will.

BELLATRIX
And will you, to the best of your ability, protect him from harm?

SNAPE
I will.
BELLATRIX
And should it prove necessary, if it seems Draco will fail... will you
yourself carry out the deed that the Dark Lord has ordered Draco to
perform?

SNAPE
I will.

FRED/GEORGE
Step up! Step up!

GEORGE
We've got Fainting Fancy...

FRED
Nosebleed Nougats...

GEORGE
And just in time for school...

FRED
Puking Pastilles!

FRED/GEORGE
Into the cauldron, handsome.

HARRY
Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder?

FRED
A real money spinner that one.

FRED
Handy if you need to make a quick escape. Hello, ladies!

GEORGE
Love Potion hey..Yes, they do really work.

FRED
Then again, the way we hear it, sis, you're doing just fine on your own.

GINNY
Meaning?

FRED
Are you not currently dating Dean Thomas?

GINNY
None of your business.

RON
How much for this?

FRED/GEORGE
Five Galleons.

RON
How much for me?

FRED/GEORGE
Five Galleons.
RON
But I'm your brother!

FRED/GEORGE
Ten Galleons.

RON
C'mon. Let's go.

LAVENDER BROWN
Hi, Ron.

RON
Hi.

HERMIONE
How is it Fred and George are doing it? Half the alley's closed down.

RON
Fred reckons people need a laugh these days.

HARRY
I reckon he's right...

HERMIONE
Oh no. Everyone got their wands from Ollivander’s.

RON
Is it just me? Or do Draco and Mummy look like two people who don't want to
be followed?

LUNA
Quibbler...? Quibbler...?

LUNA
He's lovely. They've been known to sing on Boxing Day, you know. Quibbler?

GINNY
Please. What's a Wrackspurt?

LUNA
They're invisible creatures that float in your ears and make your brain go
fuzzy.
Quibbler? Quibbler?

HARRY
So what was Draco doing with that weird-looking cabinet? And who were all
those people? Don't you see, it was a ceremony. An initiation.

HERMIONE
Stop, Harry, I know where you're going with this --

HARRY
It's happened. He's one of them.

RON
One of what?

HERMIONE
Harry is under the impression that Draco Malfoy is now a Death Eater.
RON
You're barking. What would You-Know-Who want with a sod like Malfoy?

HARRY
So what's he doing in Borgin and Burke's? Browsing for furniture?

RON
It's a creepy shop. He's a creepy bloke.

HARRY
Look. His father's a Death Eater. It only makes sense. Besides, Hermione
saw it. With her own eyes.

HERMIONE
I told you. I don't know what I saw.

HARRY
I need some air.

MALFOY
What just happened? Blaise?

BLAISE
Don't know.

PANSY
Relax, boys. The lights went out is all. Come, Draco. We'll be at Hogwarts
before you know it.

MALFOY
Hogwarts. What a pathetic excuse for a school. I think I'd pitch myself off
the Astronomy Tower if I thought I had to continue on for another two
years.

PANSY
What's that supposed to mean?

MALFOY
Let's just say I don't think you'll be seeing me wasting my time in Charms
Class next year.

MALFOY
Amused, Blaise? We'll see just who's laughing in the end.

HERMIONE
Where's Harry?

RON
Probably on the platform. C'mon.

MALFOY
You two go on. I want to check something.

MALFOY
Didn't mummy ever tell you it's bad manners to eavesdrop, Potter?
Petrificus Totalus!

MALFOY
Oh, right, she was dead before you could wipe the drool off your chin.

MALFOY
That’s for my father. Enjoy your ride back to London.

LUNA
Hello, Harry.

HARRY
Luna. How'd you know where I was?

LUNA
Wrackspurts. Your head's full of them.

HARRY
Sorry I made you miss the carriages, Luna.

LUNA
It's alright. It was like being with a friend.

HARRY
I am your friend, Luna.

LUNA
That's nice.

FLITWICK
About time! I've been looking all over for you two. Names.

HARRY
Professor Flitwick, you've known me for five years.

FLITWICK
No exceptions, Potter.

LUNA
Who are those people?

FLITWICK
Aurors. For security.

FILCH
What’s this cane here, then?

MALFOY (O.S.)
It's a not a cane, you cretin. It's a walking stick.

FILCH
And what exactly would you be wanting with a walking stick? Could be
construed as an offensive weapon.

SNAPE
It's alright, Mr. Filch. I can vouch for Mr. Malfoy.

MALFOY
Nice face, Potter.

LUNA
Would you like me to fix it? Personally I think you look a bit more devil-
may-care this way. But it's up to you.

HARRY
Have you ever fixed one? A nose.
LUNA
No. But I've done several toes and how different are they really?

HARRY
Okay, yeah. Give it a go.

LUNA
Episkey.

HARRY
Well? How do I look?

LUNA
Exceptionally ordinary.

HARRY
Brilliant.

RON
Don' worry. He'll be here in a minute.

HERMIONE
Will. You. Stop. Eating! Your best friend is missing!

RON
Oi! Turn around, you lunatic.

GINNY
He's covered in blood again. Why is it he's always covered in blood?

RON
Looks like his own this time.

HERMIONE
Where've you been, Harry? And what happened to your face?

HARRY
Later. What've I missed?

RON
Sorting Hat urged us all to be brave and strong in these troubled times --
easy for it to say -- it's a hat, isn't it?

HARRY
Thanks...

DUMBLEDORE
The very best of evenings to you! First off, please join me in welcoming
the newest member of our staff, Horace Slughorn.

DUMBLEDORE
Professor Slughorn, I'm happy to say, has agreed to resume his old post as
Potions master. Meanwhile, the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts will
be taken by Professor Snape.

DUMBLEDORE
Now, as you know, each and everyone of you was searched upon your arrival
tonight. You have a right to know why.
(MORE)
DUMBLEDORE (CONT'D)
Once there was a young man who, like you, sat in this very Hall. Walked
this castle's corridors. Slept under its roof. He seemed, to all the world,
a student like any other. His name? Tom Riddle.

DUMBLEDORE
Today, of course, the world knows him by another name. Which is why, as I
stand looking out upon you all tonight, I am reminded of a sobering fact.
Every day, every hour, this very minute perhaps, dark forces attempt to
penetrate this castle’s wall. But in the end, their greatest weapon is...
you.

DUMBLEDORE
Just something to keep in mind. Now, off to bed. Pip pip!

RON
That was cheerful.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
History of Magic is up, ladies, not down. Mr. Davies -- that's the girl's
lavatory...

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
Potter!

HARRY
This can't be good.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
Enjoying ourself, are we?

HARRY
Well, you see, I've got an open period this morning, Professor --

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
So I noticed. I would think you'd want to fill it with Potions. Or is it no
longer your ambition to become an Auror?

HARRY
It was. But I was told I had to get an Outstanding in my O.W.L. --

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
And so you did when Professor
Snape was teaching Potions. However, Professor Slughorn is perfectly happy
to accept N.E.W.T. students with `Exceeds Expectations.'

HARRY
Really? Well... brilliant. I'll head there straight away.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
Good. And take Weasley with you. He looks far too happy over there.

RON
But I don't want to take Potions! This is Quidditch trials coming up. I
need to practice.

SLUGHORN
Attention to detail in the preparation is the prerequisite of all
plaanning.
Harry m'boy! I was beginning to worry! And I see we've brought someone with
us...
RON
Ron Weasley, sir. But I'm dead awful at Potions, a menace actually, so I
probably should just..

SLUGHORN
Nonsense, we'll sort you out. Any friend of Harry's is a friend of mine.
Right then, get your books out --

HARRY
Um, sorry, sir, but I haven't got my book yet -- nor's Ron.

SLUGHORN
Not to worry. You two get what you want from the cupboard.

SLUGHORN
Now, as I was saying, I've prepared a few concoctions this morning. Any
ideas what these might be? Yes, Miss...?

HERMIONE
Granger, sir. That one there is Veritaserum. It’s a truth-telling serum.
And that would be Polyjuice Potion. It’s terribly tricky to make. And
that...

HERMIONE
... is Amortentia! The most powerful love potion in the world.
(MORE)

HERMIONE (CONT'D)
It's rumored to smell differently to each person, according to what
attracts them. For example, I smell freshly mown grass and new parchment
and spearmint toothpaste --

SLUGHORN
Now Amortentia doesn't create actual love, of course. That's impossible.
But it does cause a powerful infatuation or obsession. For that reason, it
is probably the most dangerous potion in this room.

KATIE BELL
Sir, you haven't told us what's in that one.

SLUGHORN
Ah yes...

SLUGHORN
What you see before you, ladies and gentlemen, is a curious little potion
known as Felix Felicis. But it is more commonly referred to as --

HERMIONE
Liquid luck.

SLUGHORN
Yes, Miss Granger. Desperately tricky to make. Disastrous should you get it
wrong. One sip and you will find that all your endeavors succeed... at
least until the effects wear off.

SLUGHORN
So. This is what I offer each of you today. One tiny vial of liquid luck...
to the student who, in the hour that remains, manages to brew an acceptable
Draught of Living Death, the recipe for which can be found on page ten of
your textbook.
SLUGHORN
I should point out, however, only once did a student manage to brew a
potion of sufficient quality to claim this prize. Nevertheless, good luck
to you sll. Let the brewing commence.

HERMIONE
How did you do that?

HARRY
Crush it. Don't cut it.

HERMIONE
No. The instructions specifically say to cut.

HARRY
No. Really --

HERMIONE
Sh!

SLUGHORN
Merlin's Beard! But it's perfect. So perfect I daresay one drop would kill
us all! Here you are then, as promised. One bottle of Felix Felicis. Use it
well.

DUMBLEDORE
Good evening, Harry. You got my message, I see. Come, come. Sit.

DUMBLEDORE
So. How are you?

HARRY
Fine, sir.

DUMBLEDORE
Enjoying your classes? Professor Slughorn, is most impressed with you.

HARRY
I think he overestimates my abilities, sir.

DUMBLEDORE
Do you?

HARRY
Definitely.

DUMBLEDORE
And what of your activities outside the classroom?

HARRY
Sir?

DUMBLEDORE
I notice you spend a great deal of time with Miss Granger. I can't help but
wondering...

HARRY
No! I mean... she's brilliant. And we're friends. But... no.
DUMBLEDORE
Forgive me, Harry, I was merely curious. But enough chitchat. You must be
wondering why I summoned you here tonight. The answer lies here.

DUMBLEDORE
What you see before you are memories. In this case pertaining to one
individual: Voldemort. Or as he was known then... Tom Riddle.

DUMBLEDORE
This vial contains a most particular memory -- of the day I first met him.
I'd like you to see it. If you would...

MRS. COLE
I must confess to a bit of confusion upon receiving your letter, Mr.
Dumbledore. In all the years Tom's been here, he's never once had a family
visitor. There have been incidents with the other children. Nasty things.

MRS. COLE
You've got a visitor, Tom.

DUMBLEDORE
How do you do, Tom.

MRS. COLE
Well, I'll leave you two to yourselves.

TOM RIDDLE
Don't. You're the doctor, aren't you?

DUMBLEDORE
No. I am a Professor.

TOM RIDDLE
I don't believe you. She wants me looked at. They think I'm different.

DUMBLEDORE
Perhaps they're right.

TOM RIDDLE
I'm not mad.

DUMBLEDORE
Hogwarts is not a place for mad people.

DUMBLEDORE
It's a school. A school of...magic.

DUMBLEDORE
You can do things, can't you, Tom? Things the other children can't.

TOM RIDDLE
I can make things move – without touching them. I can make animals do what
I want without training them. I can make bad things happen to people who
are mean to me. I can make them hurt... if I want.

TOM RIDDLE
Who are you?

DUMBLEDORE
I'm like you, Tom. Different.
TOM RIDDLE
Prove it.

DUMBLEDORE
I think there is something trying to get out of your wardrobe, Tom.

DUMBLEDORE
Thievery is not tolerated at Hogwarts. At Hogwarts, you will be taught not
only how to use magic, but to control it. You understand me?

TOM RIDDLE
I can speak to snakes too.

TOM RIDDLE
They find me. Whisper things. Is that normal for someone like me?

HARRY
Did you know, sir? Then?

DUMBLEDORE
Did I know that I had just met the most dangerous Dark Wizard of all time?
No. If I had, I...

DUMBLEDORE
Over time, while here at Hogwarts, Tom Riddle grew close to one particular
teacher. Can you guess which teacher that might be?

HARRY
You didn't bring Professor Slughorn back simply to teach Potions, did you,
sir?

DUMBLEDORE
No. I did not. You see,Professor Slughorn possesses something I desire very
dearly. And he will not part with it easily...

HARRY
You said Professor Slughorn would try to collect me.

DUMBLEDORE
I did.

HARRY
Do you want me to let him?

DUMBLEDORE
Yes.

HARRY
All right! This morning I'll be putting you all through a few drills to
assess your strengths. Quiet please..

GINNY
SHUT IT!

HARRY
Thanks. All right. Just because you made the team last year does not
guarantee you a spot this year. Is that clear?

CORMAC
No hard feelings, Weasley, alright?
RON
Hard feelings?

CORMAC
I'll be going out for Keeper as well. Nothing personal.

RON
Really? Strapping guy like you, you've got a Beater's build, don't you
think? Keeper needs to be agile, quick --

CORMAC
I like my chances. Say... think you could introduce me to your friend
Granger? Wouldn't mind getting on a first name basis, know what I mean?

HARRY
C'mon, Ron...

LAVENDER BROWN
Isn't he brilliant?

RON
I have to admit, thought I was going to miss that last one. Hope Cormac's
not taking it too hard.

RON
He’s got a bit of a thing for you, Hermione. Cormac.

HERMIONE
He's vile.

HARRY
Ever heard of this spell?

HERMIONE
No I have not. And if you had a shred of self-respect you would turn that
book in.

RON
Not bloody likely. He's top of the class. Even better than you, Hermione.
Slughorn thinks he's a genius.

RON
What?

HERMIONE
I'd like to know just whose book that was. Let's take a look, shall we?

HARRY
No.

HERMIONE
Why not?

HARRY
It's... old. The binding is fragile.

HERMIONE
The binding is fragile?

GINNY
Who's the Half-Blood Prince?
HERMIONE
The who?

GINNY
That's what it says. Right here. `This Book is the Property of the Half-
Blood Prince.'

HERMIONE
For weeks you carry around this book, practically sleep with it... and you
have no desire to find out who The Half-Blood Prince is?

HARRY
I didn't say I wasn't curious. And, by the way, I don't sleep with it.

RON
Yeah. Right. Well, it's true. I like a nice chat before I go to bed. Now
you're always reading that bloody book. It's like being with Hermione.

HERMIONE
Well, I was curious. So I went to --

HARRY/RON
The library.

HARRY
And?

HERMIONE
And... nothing. There's no reference to the Half-Blood Prince anywhere.

HARRY
Good. That settles it then.

SLUGHORN
Filius! I was hoping to find you at the Three Broomsticks.

FLITWICK
Emergency choir practice, I'm afraid, Horace.

HARRY
Does anyone fancy a Butterbeer?

SLUGHORN
A chum of mine was sledging down Claxby Hill. We had a very long, homemade
Norwegian-style sledge..

HARRY
No. Not there, Over here.

HARRY
No, no. Sit beside me.

RON
O-kay.

SKINNY KID
Something to drink?

HERMIONE
Three Butterbeers. Some ginger in mine, please.
RON
Aw, bloody hell...slick git

HERMIONE
Oh, honestly, Ronald. They're just holding hands...
(MORE)

HERMIONE (CONT'D)
And snogging.

RON
I'd like to leave.

HERMIONE
Leave? You can't be serious.

RON
That happens to be my sister.

HERMIONE
So? What if she looked over here and saw you snogging me? Would you expect
her to get up and leave?

SLUGHORN
Harry, m'boy!

HARRY
Hello, sir. Wonderful to see you.

HARRY
So what brings you here, sir?

SLUGHORN
Oh, the Three Broomsticks and I go way back. Longer than I'd care to admit.
In fact, I remember when it was simply One Broomstick!

SLUGHORN
Oops! All hands on deck, Granger!

SLUGHORN
Listen, m'boy. In the old days, I used to throw together the occasional
supper and invite a select student or two. Would you be game?

HARRY
I'd consider it an honor, sir.

SLUGHORN
You'd be welcome too, Granger.

HERMIONE
I’d be delighted, sir.

SLUGHORN
Splendid. Look for my owl. Good to see you, Wallenby.

RON
What're you playing at?

HARRY
Dumbledore asked me to... get to know him.
RON
Get to know him?

HARRY
Dunno. But it must be important. Otherwise Dumbledore wouldn't ask.

RON
Um... You've got a little...

LEANNE (O.S.)
Katie. You don't know what it could be!

RON
Did you hear that rubbish she said back in the pub about me and her
snogging?

HARRY
As if...

LEANNE
I warned her! I warned her not to touch it!

HAGRID
Don’t go any closer. Get back! All o' yeh!

HAGRID
No, no. No, no...

HAGRID
Do not touch that, except by the wrappings. Do you understand?

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
You're sure Katie did not have this in her possession when she entered the
Three Broomsticks?

LEANNE
It's like I said. She went to the loo and when she came back she had the
package. She said it was important that she deliver it.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
Did she say to whom?

LEANNE
To Professor Dumbledore

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
Very well, Thank you, Leanne. You may go. Why is it always you three? Hm?
When something happens?

RON
Believe me, Professor, I've been asking myself the same question for six
years.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
Severus.

SNAPE
Is this it?

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
What do you think?
SNAPE
I think Miss Bell is lucky to be alive.

HARRY
She was cursed, wasn't she? I know Katie. Off the Quidditch pitch she
wouldn't hurt a fly. If she was bringing that to Prof. Dumbledore, she
wasn't doing it knowingly.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
Yes. She was cursed.

HARRY
It was Malfoy.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
That's a very serious accusation, Potter.

SNAPE
Indeed. Your evidence?

HARRY
I... just... know.

SNAPE
You... just... know. Once again you astonish with your gifts, Potter, gifts
mere more mortals could only dream of possessing. How grand it must be to
be the Chosen One.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
I suggest you return to your dormitory. All of you.

RON
What do you suppose Dean sees in her? Ginny.

HARRY
What does she see in him?

RON
Dean? He's brilliant.

HARRY
You called him a slick git not five hours ago.

RON
Yeah, well, he was running his hands all over my sister, wasn't he?
Something snaps. You've got to hate him. You know, on principle.

HARRY
I suppose.

RON
So what is it? He sees in her?

HARRY
I don't know. She's smart. Funny. Attractive...

RON
Attractive?
HARRY
You know. She's... got nice skin.

RON
Skin? You're saying Dean's dating my sister because of her skin?

HARRY
Well, no. I mean... I'm just saying it could be a contributing factor.

RON
Hermione's got nice skin. Wouldn't you say? As skin goes, I mean.

HARRY
I've never really thought about it. But I suppose, yeah. Very nice.

HARRY
I think I'll be going to sleep now.

RON
Right.

SLUGHORN
So tell me, Cormac. See much of your Uncle Tiberius these days?

CORMAC
Yes, sir. In fact, I'm meant to go hunting with him and the Minister for
Magic over holiday.

SLUGHORN
Well, be sure to give them both my best. What about your uncle, Belby? For
those of you who don't know, Marcus' uncle invented the Wolfsbane Potion.
Is he working on anything new?

MARCUS BELBY
Dunno. He and me dad don't get on. Probably because Dad thinks potions are
rubbish. Says the only potion worth having is a stiff one at the end of the
day.

SLUGHORN
And you, Miss Granger? What is it your family does in the Muggle world?

HERMIONE
My parents are dentists. They tend to people's teeth.

SLUGHORN
Fascinating. And is that considered a dangerous profession?

HERMIONE
No. Though, a boy named Robbie Fenwick did bite my father once. He needed
ten stitches.

SLUGHORN
Miss Weasley! Come in, come in.

HERMIONE
Look at her eyes. They've been fighting again. Her and Dean.

GINNY
Sorry, I'm not usually late --
SLUGHORN
No matter. You'll be just in time for dessert. That is -- if Belby leaves
you any.

HARRY
What?

HERMIONE
Nothing.

SLUGHORN
Good bye, bye bye..

SLUGHORN
Oh. Potter.

HARRY
Sorry, sir, I was just admiring your hourglass.

SLUGHORN
Ah, yes. A most intriguing object. The sands run in accordance to the
quality of the conversation. When it is stimulating, the sands run slowly.
When it is not...

HARRY
I think I'll be going.

SLUGHORN
Nonsense. You have nothing to fear, m'boy. As for some of your classmates,
well, let's just say, they're unlikely to make the shelf.

HARRY
The shelf, sir?

SLUGHORN
Anyone who aspires to be anyone hopes to end up here. Then again... you are
already someone aren't you, Harry?

HARRY
Did Voldemort ever make the shelf, sir?

HARRY
You knew him, didn't you, sir? Tom Riddle. You were his teacher.

SLUGHORN
Mr. Riddle had many teachers while here at Hogwarts.

HARRY
What was he like?

HARRY
I'm sorry, sir. Forgive me. He killed my parents, you see...

SLUGHORN
Of course. It's only natural that you should want to know more. I'm afraid
I must disappoint you, Harry. When I first met young Mr. Riddle, he was
simply a quiet, albeit brilliant, boy committed to becoming a first-rate
wizard. Not unlike the others I've known. In fact, not unlike... you. If
the monster existed, it was buried deep within.
NEVILLE
Good luck, eh, Ron?

SEAMUS
Counting on you, Ron. I've two Galleons on Gryffindor.

RON
So. How was it?

HERMIONE
How was what?

RON
Your dinner party.

HERMIONE
Dead boring. Though I think Harry enjoyed dessert.

HERMIONE
Ol' Sluggy's having a Christmas do, you know. And we're meant to bring
someone...

RON
I expect you'll be going with McLaggen. Isn't he a member of the Slug Club?

HERMIONE
Actually, I was going to ask you.

RON
Really?

LAVENDER BROWN
Good luck today, Ron! I know you'll be brilliant!

RON
I'm resigning. After today's match. McLaggen can have my spot.

HARRY
Have it your way. Juice?

RON
Sure...

LUNA
Hello, everyone. You look dreadful, Ron.

LUNA
Is that why you just put something in his cup. Is it a tonic?

HERMIONE
Liquid Luck, Don't drink that, Ron!

HERMIONE
You could be expelled for that.

HARRY
Dunno what you're talking about.

RON
C'mon, Harry. We've got a game to win.
CROWD
Weasley! Weasley! Weasley!

HERMIONE
You really shouldn’t have done it.

HARRY
Yeah. I suppose I could've just used, a Confundus charm?

HERMIONE
That was different. It was tryouts. This was an actual match --

HERMIONE
You didn't put it in? Ron only thought you did?

HERMIONE
Charms spell. Just practicing.

HARRY
Ah. Well... they're really good.

HERMIONE
How does it feel, Harry? When you see Dean with Ginny?
I know. I see the way you look at her. You're my best friend.

LAVENDER BROWN
Oops. I think this room's taken.

RON
What's with the birds?

HERMIONE
Oppugno!

HARRY
It feels like this.

RON
Look, I can't help it if she's got her knickers in a twist. What Lav and I
have -- well, let's just say there was no stopping it. It's chemical. Will
it last? Who knows? Point is, I'm a free agent.

HERMIONE
He's at perfect liberty to kiss whomever he likes. I really couldn't care
less. Was I under the impression that he and I would be attending
Slughorn's Christmas party together? Yes. Now, given the circumstances,
I've had to make other arrangements.

HARRY
Have you?

HERMIONE
Yes. Why?

HARRY
I just thought, you know, since neither one of us can take who we'd really
like... maybe we'd go together. As friends.

HERMIONE
Why didn't I think of that?
HARRY
So who are you taking?

HERMIONE
Um... it's a surprise. Besides, it's you we need to worry about. And you
can't pick just anyone. See that girl over there. That's Romilda Vane.
Rumor has it she's trying to smugle you a love potion.

HARRY
Really...?

HERMIONE
Hey! She's only interested in you because she thinks you're the Chosen One.
You know that, right?

HARRY
But I am the Chosen One.

HARRY
Okay. Kidding. I'll just ask someone I like. Someone cool.

LUNA
I've never been to this part of the castle. At least not while awake. I
sleepwalk, you see. It's why I wear shoes to bed.

VOICE (O.S.)
Drink?

HARRY
Neville...?

NEVILLE
I didn't make the cut for the Slug Club. It's okay. He's got Belby handing
out towels in the loo.

HARRY
Oh, i’m fine, mate. Thanks

HARRY (O.S.)
Hermione, What're you doing? And what's happened to you?

HERMIONE
Hm? Oh, I've just escaped – I mean, left Cormac under the mistletoe.

HARRY
Cormac! That's who you invited!

HERMIONE
I thought it would annoy Ron most. But he's a menace. He's got more
tentacles than a Snarfalump plant.

WAITER (O.S.)
Dragon tartar?

HERMIONE
No thank you.

WAITER
Just as well. They give one horribly bad breath.
HERMIONE
On second thought -- maybe it'll keep Cormac at bay. Oh no, here he comes!

HARRY
I think she went to powder her nose.

CORMAC
Slippery little minx, your friend. Likes to work her mouth too, doesn't
she? Yak yak yak. What is this I'm eating, by the way?

HARRY
Dragon balls.

SNAPE
What's going on back here?

SNAPE
You've just bought yourself a month's detention, McLaggen.

SNAPE
Not so quick, Potter.

HARRY
I think I should rejoin the party, sir. My date...

SNAPE
... can surely survive your absence for another minute or two.
(MORE)

SNAPE (CONT'D)
Besides, I only wish to convey a message.

HARRY
A message...?

SNAPE
From Professor Dumbledore. He asked that I give you his best and that he
hopes you enjoy your holiday. You see, he's traveling and won't return
until term resumes.

HARRY
Traveling? Where?

MALFOY (O.S.)
Take your hands off me, you filthy squib!

FILCH
Professor Slughorn, sir! I've just discovered this boy lurking in an
upstairs corridor. He claims to have been invited to your party.

MALFOY
Okay, okay, I was gate-crashing. Happy?

SNAPE
I'll escort him out.

MALFOY
Certainly... Professor.
SLUGHORN
Okay, everyone carry on, carry on..

MALFOY (O.S.)
Maybe I did hex that Bell girl. Maybe I didn't. What's it to you?

SNAPE
I swore to protect you. I made the Unbreakable Vow --

MALFOY
I don't need protection. I was chosen for this! Out of all others. Me! And
I won't fail him.

SNAPE
You're afraid, Draco. You attempt to conceal it, but it's obvious. Let me
assist you --

MALFOY
No! I was chosen. This is my moment!

RON
Unbreakable Vow. You're sure that's what Snape said.

HARRY
Positive. Why?

RON
It's just, well, you can't break an Unbreakable Vow.

HARRY
I'd worked that much out for myself, funnily enough.

RON
No, you don't understand -- Oh, bloody hell...

HARRY
Lovely.

RON
All she wants to do is snog me. My lips are getting chapped. Look.

HARRY
I'll take your word for it.

HARRY
So what happens? If you break an Unbreakable Vow?

RON
You die.

MRS. WEASLEY
Eat up, eat up, everyone! There's more to come!

HARRY
Draco's plotting something, I know it, something to do with Voldemort. He's
been given a task or a mission -- and Snape was offering to help.

LUPIN
Voldemort has chosen Draco Malfoy for a mission?
HARRY
I know it sounds mad --

LUPIN
Has it occurred to you, Harry,
that Snape was simply pretending to offer Draco help so that he could find
out what he's up to?

HARRY
That's not what it sounded like.

TONKS
Perhaps Harry's right, Remus. To make an Unbreakable Vow, after all --

LUPIN
It comes down to whether or not you trust Dumbledore's judgement. He trusts
Snape. Therefore, I do.

HARRY
But Dumbledore can make mistakes. He's said it himself --

LUPIN
You're blinded by hatred.

HARRY
I'm not --

LUPIN
You are! People are disappearing, Harry. Daily. We can only put our trust
in a handful of people. If we start fighting amongst ourselves, we're
doomed.

GINNY
Open up, you.

GINNY
Don't you trust me?

HARRY
It's good.

GINNY
`Course `tis. Made them myself.

MR. WEASLEY
You'll have to forgive Remus. It takes its toll -- his condition.

HARRY
Are you alright, Mr. Weasley?

MR. WEASLEY
We're being followed, all of us. Molly doesn't leave the house most days.
It's not been easy.

HARRY
Did you get my owl?

MR. WEASLEY
If Dumbledore's traveling, it's news to the Ministry. But perhaps that's
the way Dumbledore wants it. As for Draco Malfoy -- I know a bit more.
HARRY
Go on.

MR. WEASLEY
I sent an agent to Borgin & Burkes. From what you describe, I think what
you and Ron saw at the end of the summer -- the object that Draco seemed so
interested in -- was a Vanishing Cabinet.

HARRY
A Vanishing Cabinet?

MR. WEASLEY
They were all the rage when Voldemort first rose to power. You can imagine
the appeal. Should the Death Eaters come calling, one needed only slip
inside and disappear for an hour or two. They can transport you anywhere.
But they're tricky contraptions, very temperamental.

HARRY
What happened to it? The one at Borgin & Burkes?

MR. WEASLEY
Nothing. It's still there.

TONKS
It was delicious, Molly. Really.

MRS. WEASLEY
You're sure you won't stay?

TONKS
No, we should go.
The first night of the cycle is always the worst --

MRS. WEASLEY
Remus...?

GINNY
Everyone gone to bed?

HARRY
Not yet, no.

GINNY
Shoelace. Happy Christmas, Harry.

TONKS
Sweetheart...

MR. WEASLEY
Harry, no!

TONKS
Remus!

HERMIONE (V.O.)
It’s so easy for them to get you. You're bloody lucky you weren't killed.

HERMIONE
You have to realize who you are, Harry.
HARRY
I know who I am, Hermione alright?
Sorry.

RON (O.S.)
Lav, c'mon. Of course I'll wear it.

LAVENDER BROWN
That's my Won-Won.

HERMIONE
Excuse me, I have to go vomit.

SLUGHORN
I must say, m'boy, I'd like to know where you get your information. More
knowledgeable than half the staff, you are.

TOM RIDDLE
Sir, is it true that Professor Merrythought is retiring?

SLUGHORN
Now, Tom, I couldn't tell you if I knew, could I?
By the way, thank you for the pineapple -- you're quite right, it is my
favorite -- how did you know?

TOM RIDDLE
Intuition.

SLUGHORN
Good gracious, look at the time. Off you go, boys, or Professor Dippett
will have us all in detention.

SLUGHORN
Look sharp, Tom. You don't want to be caught out of bed after hours...
Something on your mind, Tom?

TOM RIDDLE
Yes, sir. I couldn't think of anyone else to go to. The other professors,
well, they're not like you. They might... misunderstand.

SLUGHORN
Go on.

TOM RIDDLE
I was in the library the other night, in the Restricted section, and I read
something rather odd, about a bit of rare magic, and I thought perhaps you
could illuminate me...I called as I understand it..

SLUGHORN
I beg you pardon.

SLUGHORN
I don't know anything about such things and I wouldn't tell you if I did!
Now get out of here at once and don't ever let me catch you mentioning it
again!

DUMBLEDORE
Confused? I would be surprised if you weren't.

HARRY
I don't understand – what happened?
DUMBLEDORE
This is perhaps the most important memory I've collected. It's also a lie.
This memory has been tampered with. In this case by the person whose memory
it is, our friend Slughorn.

HARRY
But why would he tamper with his own memory?

DUMBLEDORE
I suspect he is ashamed of it.

HARRY
Why?

DUMBLEDORE
Why indeed.

DUMBLEDORE
I asked you to get to know Professor Slughorn and you've done so.
(MORE)

DUMBLEDORE (CONT'D)
Now I want you to persuade him to divulge his true memory. Any way you can.

HARRY
I don't know him that well, sir --

DUMBLEDORE
This memory is everything, Harry. Without it, we are blind. Without it, we
leave the fate of our world to chance. You have no choice. You must not
fail.

SLUGHORN
Now don't forget to look over the chapter on antidotes. I'll be poisoning
one of you next time we meet. I'm joking! Off you go! Don't forget your
rattails, Miss Alys.

SLUGHORN
Ah! If it isn't the Prince of Potions himself! To what do I owe the
pleasure?

HARRY
Well, sir, I wondered if I might ask you something.

SLUGHORN
Ask away, my dear boy, ask away!

HARRY
Well, you see, the other day I was in the Restricted Section – in the
library -- and I stumbled upon something rather odd while reading.
Something about a bit of rare magic...

SLUGHORN
Yes? And exactly what was this rare magic.

HARRY
I'm not sure... That is, I don't recall the name... exactly. But it got me
wondering... Are there some kinds of magic you're not allowed to teach?
SLUGHORN
I'm a Potions Professor, Harry. Perhaps your question would best be posed
to Professor Snape.

HARRY
Yes, well, we don't exactly see eye-to-eye, sir. What I mean to say is,
he's not like you. He might... misunderstand.

SLUGHORN
There can be no light without the dark. And so it is with magic. Myself, I
have always strived to live within the light. I suggest you do the same.

HARRY
Did you say the same to Tom Riddle, sir? When he came asking questions.

SLUGHORN
Dumbledore put you up to this. Didn't he? Didn't he!

HARRY
Sir --

SLUGHORN
Yes???!!!! (warily) Oh. Potter. It's you. I'm afraid I'm busy at the
moment.

RON
It's beautiful, isn't it? The moon.

HARRY
Divine. Had ourselves a little late-night snack, did we?

RON
It was on your bed. The box. Thought I'd try one...

HARRY
Or twenty.

RON
I can't stop thinking about her, Harry.

HARRY
Really? Honestly, I reckoned she was starting to annoy you.

RON
She could never annoy me. I think... I think I love her.

HARRY
Well... Brilliant.

RON
Do you think she knows I exist?

HARRY
Bloody well hope so. She's been snogging you for three months.

RON
Snogging? Who're you talking about?

HARRY
Who're you talking about?
RON
Romilda, of course. Romilda Van

HARRY
Okay. Very funny.

HARRY
What the hell was that for?

RON
It's no joke! I'm in love with her!

HARRY
Okay! Fine! You're in love with her! Have you ever actually met her!

RON
No. Can you introduce me?

HARRY
Ron, these chocolates, they're -- C'mon. I'm going to introduce you to
Romilda Vane.

HARRY
Sir. I'm sorry. I wouldn't bother you if it weren't absolutely essential.

RON
Where's Romilda?

SLUGHORN
What's the matter with Wenby?

HARRY
Very powerfull love potion.

SLUGHORN
Ah. Very well. Bring him in.

SLUGHORN
I'd have thought you could whip up a remedy for this in no time, Harry.

HARRY
I figured this called for a more practiced hand, sir.

RON
Hello, darling. Fancy a drink?

SLUGHORN
Hm. Perhaps you're right.

HARRY
I'm sorry, sir. About the other day. Our... misunderstanding.

SLUGHORN
Yes, well, water under the bridge as they say, correct?

HARRY
I mean, I'm sure you're tired of it, after all these years. The questions.
About... Voldemort.

SLUGHORN
Do not use that name.
SLUGHORN
Alright, m'boy! Bottoms up!

RON
What's this?

SLUGHORN
A tonic for the nerves.

RON
What happened to me?

HARRY
Love potion.

SLUGHORN
And a bloody strong one at that.

RON
I feel really... bad.

SLUGHORN
Pick-me-up's what you need, m'boy.
Do us all good, I think. I've got butterbeer, wine -- ah -- and a dazzling
oak-matured mead. I had other intentions for this but given the
circumstances...

SLUGHORN
Here we are, Potter. To life!

HARRY
Ron! Professor, help him! Ron!!!

SLUGHORN
I d-don't understand --

HARRY
Professor! Do something!!

HARRY
C'mon, Ron, Breathe!

RON
These girls are gonna kill me, Harry.

DUMBLEDORE
Quick thinking on your part,Harry. Using a Bezoar. You must be very proud
of your student, eh, Horace?

SLUGHORN
Hm? Oh. Yes... very proud.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
I think we all agree that Mr. Potter's actions were heroic. The question
is: Why were they necessary.

DUMBLEDORE
Why indeed.
DUMBLEDORE
This appears to be a gift, Horace. You don't by chance remember who gave
you this bottle, do you -- which by the way possesses remarkably subtle
hints of licorice and cherry when not polluted with poison.

SLUGHORN
Actually I had intended to give it as a gift myself.

DUMBLEDORE
To whom might I ask?

SLUGHORN
To you, Headmaster.

LAVENDER BROWN
Where is he? Where's my Won-Won! Has he been asking for me?
What's she doing here?

HERMIONE
I might ask you the same question.

LAVENDER BROWN
I happen to be his girlfriend.

HERMIONE
I happen to be his... friend.

LAVENDER BROWN
Don't make me laugh. You haven't spoken in weeks. I suppose you want to
make up with him now that he's suddenly all interesting.

HERMIONE
He's been poisoned, you daft dimbo! And for the record, I've always found
him interesting.

LAVENDER BROWN
Ha! See? He senses my presence. Dont worry, Won-Won. I'm here --

RON
Er... My... Nee... Er! My! Nee!

DUMBLEDORE
Ah, to be young and feel love's keen sting. Come, everyone, I think Mr.
Weasley is well tended.

GINNY
About time, don't you think?

HARRY
Thank you

HERMIONE
Oh shut up.

HERMIONE
Ron. Stop. You're making it snow.

RON
Huh?
Tell me how I broke up with Lavender again?
HERMIONE
Um, well, she came to visit you in the hospital, you see, and you talked --
I don't believe it was a long conversation --

RON
Don't get me wrong. I'm bloody thrilled to be shot of her. It's just she
seems... a bit put out.

HERMIONE
Yes she does, doesn't she? And you say you don't remember a thing from that
night? Not one thing?

RON
Well... there is... something. But no. It can't be. Besides, I was
completely boggled, didn't I?

HERMIONE
Right. Boggled...

HERMIONE
That's Katie. That's Katie Bell.

HARRY
How are you, Katie?

KATIE BELL
I know you're going to ask, Harry. But I don't know who cursed me. I've
been trying to remember. Honestly. But I just... can't...

HARRY
I know what you did Malfoy. You hexed her, didnt you?

HARRY
SECTUMSEMPRA!

GINNY
You have to get rid of it. Today.

GINNY
Take my hand.

HARRY
The Room of Requirement...

GINNY
We need to hide The Half Blood Prince’s book where no one will ever find
it, including you.

GINNY/HARRY
What was that?

GINNY
See, you never know what you'll find up here.

GINNY
All right. Close your eyes. That way you can't be tempted.

GINNY
That can stay hidden up here too, if you like.
RON (O.S.)
So. Did you and Ginny do it? Harry jumps, watches Ron appear.

HARRY
What?

RON
You know. Hide the book

HARRY
Oh. Yeah

RON
Still no luck with Slughorn, I take it?

HARRY
Luck. That’s it. All I need’s a bit of luck.

HERMIONE
Well? How do you feel?

HARRY
Excellent. Really excellent.

HERMIONE
Remember. Slughorn usually eats early, takes a short walk and then returns
to his office.

HARRY
Right. I'm going down to Hagrid's.

HERMIONE
What? No, Harry -- you've got to go see Slughorn. We have a plan --

HARRY
I know. I've got a good feeling about going to Hagrid's. I feel like it's
the place to be tonight, know what I mean?

HERMIONE/RON
No.

HARRY
Trust me. I know what I'm doing. Or at least Felix does.

SLUGHORN
Merlin's beard, Harry!

HARRY
Sorry, sir. I should've announced myself. Cleared my throat. Coughed. You
probably feared I was Madam Sprout.

SLUGHORN
Well, yes, actually -- Why would you think that?

HARRY
Just the general behavior, sir. The sneaking around. The jumping when you
saw me. By the way, those Tentacula leaves -- they're quite valuable,
aren't they?
SLUGHORN
Ten galleons a leaf to the right buyer -- not that I'm familiar with such
back alley transactions. One hears rumors is all. My own interests are
purely academic, of course.

HARRY
Personally, these plants have always kind of freaked me out.

SLUGHORN
Exactly how did you get out of the castle, Harry?

HARRY
Through the front doors, sir. I'm off to Hagrid's, you see. He's a very
dear friend and I felt like paying him a visit. So if you don't mind, I'll
be going.

SLUGHORN
Harry!

HARRY
Sir?

SLUGHORN
It's nearly nightfall. Surely you realize I can't allow you to roam the
grounds all by yourself.

HARRY
Well, then by all means come along, sir.

SLUGHORN
Harry, I must insist you accompany me back to the castle immediately!

HARRY
That would be counterproductive, sir.

SLUGHORN
And what makes you say that?

HARRY
No idea.

SLUGHORN
Merlin's beard...

SLUGHORN
Is that an actual Acromantula?

HARRY
A dead one, I think, sir.

HAGRID
`Arry. `Orace.

SLUGHORN
My god, dear man. How did you ever manage to kill it?

HAGRID
Kill `im! Me oldest friend, `e was!

SLUGHORN
I'm sorry, I... (didn't realize.)
HAGRID
Ah, don' worry yerself. Yer not alone. Seriously misunderstood creatures --
spiders. It's the eyes, I reckon. Unnerve people.

HARRY
Not to mention the pincers.

HAGRID
I reckon that too...

SLUGHORN
Hagrid. I wouldn't want to be indelicate, but Acromantula venom is
uncommonly rare and, well, if you wouldn't mind my extracting a vial or two
-- purely for academic pursuits...

HAGRID
Don' suppose it's doin' `im any good, izzit?

SLUGHORN
My thoughts exactly! Always carry a few spare ampoules for just such
occasions. Old Potion Master's habit, you know...

HAGRID
Wish yeh coulda seen `im in `is prime. Magnificent `e was. Jus'
magnificent...

SLUGHORN
Would you like me to say a few words? I trust he had family?

HARRY
Oh yeah.

SLUGHORN
Farewell...

HAGRID
Aragog.

SLUGHORN
Farewell, Aragog, king of arachnids. Though your body will decay, your
spirit lingers on in the quiet, web-spun places of your Forest home. May
your many-eyed descendents ever flourish and your human friends find solace
for the loss they have sustained.

HAGRID
Tha' was... tha' was... beautiful.

HAGRID/SLUGHORN (O.S.)
And Odo the hero, they bore him back home...

HAGRID/SLUGHORN
To the place he'd known as a lad, They laid him to rest with his hat inside
out and his wand snapped in two, which was sad...

HAGRID
I had `im from an egg, yeh know. Tiny little thing he was when he hatched.
No bigger'n a Pekinese.

SLUGHORN
Sweet. I once had a fish. Francis. Lovely little thing. One day I came
downstairs and he'd vanished. Poof.
HAGRID
Tha's odd.

SLUGHORN
Isn't it? That's life, I suppose. One goes along and then suddenly poof.

HAGRID
Poof.

HARRY
Poof.

SLUGHORN
It was a student who gave me Francis. One spring afternoon I discovered a
bowl upon my desk with a few inches of clear water. There was a flower
petal floating upon the surface. As I watched, the petal sank, but just
before it touched bottom... it transformed. Into a wee fish. It was
beautiful magic, wondrous to behold. The petal had come from a lily.

SLUGHORN
Your mother. The day I came downstairs, the day I found the bowl empty...
was the day she...

SLUGHORN
I know why you’re here. But I can't give it to you. It will ruin me...

HARRY
Do you know why I survived? The night I got this.

HARRY
Because of her. Because she sacrificed herself. Because she refused to step
aside. Because her love was more powerful than Voldemort.

SLUGHORN
Please don't say his --

HARRY
I'm not afraid of the name, Professor. I'm going to tell you something,
something others have only guessed at. It's true. I am the Chosen One.

HARRY
Only I can destroy him. But in order to do so, I need to know what Tom
Riddle asked you that night in your office all those years ago. And I need
to know what you told him.

HARRY
Be brave, Professor. Be brave like my mother. Otherwise you disgrace her.
Otherwise she died for nothing. Otherwise, the bowl will remain empty
forever.

SLUGHORN
Please, don't think too badly of me once you've seen it. You don't know
what he was like... even then.

TOM RIDDLE
I was in the library the other night, in the Restricted section, and I read
something rather odd,about a bit of rare magic and I thought perhaps you
could illuminate me. It's called, as I understand it... a Horcrux.

SLUGHORN
Excuse me?
TOM RIDDLE
Horcrux. I came across the term while reading and I didn't fully understand
it.

SLUGHORN
I'm not sure what you were reading, Tom, but that's very Dark stuff, very
Dark indeed.

TOM RIDDLE
Yes, sir. Which is why I came to you.

SLUGHORN
A Horcrux is an object in which a person has concealed part of their soul.

TOM RIDDLE
Yes, I thought it might be something like that. But I don't understand how
that works, sir.

SLUGHORN
One splits one's soul and hides part of it in an object. By doing so, you
are protected should you be attacked and your body destroyed.

TOM RIDDLE
Protected?

SLUGHORN
That part of your soul that was hidden, lives on. In other words, you
cannot die.

TOM RIDDLE
How does one split his soul, sir?

SLUGHORN
I think you can guess the answer to that, Tom.

TOM RIDDLE
Murder.

SLUGHORN
Yes. Killing rips the soul apart. It is a violation against nature. After,
one is never the same.

TOM RIDDLE
Out of curiosity, sir -- can you only split your soul once? For instance,
isn't seven the most powerfully magical number --

SLUGHORN
Seven! Merlin's beard, Tom!
Isn't it bad enough to think of killing one person? To rip the soul into
seven pieces...
(MORE)

SLUGHORN (CONT'D)
This is all hypothetical, isn't it, Tom? All academic...

TOM RIDDLE
Of course, sir. It'll be our little secret...

HARRY
Sir --
DUMBLEDORE
This is beyond anything I imagined.

HARRY
Do you mean to say he succeeded, sir? In making a Horcrux?

DUMBLEDORE
Oh he succeeded. And not just once. Think, Harry. He's just told us.

HARRY
Seven. He made seven -- the most powerfully magical number. But... what are
they exactly?

DUMBLEDORE
They can be anything. The most commonplace of objects. A ring, for example.
Or a book...

HARRY
Tom Riddle's diary --

DUMBLEDORE
It's a Horcrux, yes. Four years ago, when you saved Ginny Weasley's life in
the Chamber of Secrets, when you brought me this --
I knew. This was a different kind of magic. Very dark. Very powerful. But
until tonight, I had no idea just how powerful.

HARRY
And the ring...?

DUMBLEDORE
Belonged to Voldemort's mother. It was difficult to find and...
... even more difficult to destroy.

HARRY
But if you could find them all. If you did destroy each Horcrux...

DUMBLEDORE
One destroys Voldemort.

HARRY
But how would you find them? They could be hidden anywhere, couldn't
they...

DUMBLEDORE
True. But magic, especially Dark magic...

DUMBLEDORE
... leaves traces.

HARRY
It's where you've been going, isn't it, sir? When you leave the school.

DUMBLEDORE
Yes. And I think... perhaps... I may have found another. But this time I
cannot hope to destroy it alone.

DUMBLEDORE
Once again, I shall ask too much of you.
SNAPE
Have you ever considered that you ask too much? That you take too much for
granted? Has it ever crossed your brilliant mind that I don't want to do
this anymore?

DUMBLEDORE
Whether it has or hasn't is irrelevant. I will not negotiate this with you,
Severus. You agreed. There's nothing more to discuss.

DUMBLEDORE
Harry. You need a shave, my friend.

DUMBLEDORE
At times I forget how much you've grown. At times I still see the small boy
from the cupboard.
Forgive my mawkishness, Harry. I am an old man.

HARRY
You still look the same to me, sir.

DUMBLEDORE
Like your mother, you are unfailingly kind.
(MORE)

DUMBLEDORE (CONT'D)
A trait people never fail to undervalue. I'm afraid.

DUMBLEDORE
The place to which we journey tonight is exceedingly dangerous, Harry. I
promised that you could accompany me and I stand by that promise. But there
is a condition: You must obey any command I give you – without question.

HARRY
Yes, sir.

DUMBLEDORE
Understand what I'm saying. Should I tell you to hide, you must hide.

DUMBLEDORE
Should I tell you to run, you will run.

DUMBLEDORE
And should I tell you to abandon me and save yourself..

DUMBLEDORE
You must do so.

DUMBLEDORE
Your word, Harry.

HARRY
My word.

DUMBLEDORE
Take my arm.

HARRY
Sir, I thought one couldn't Apparate within Hogwarts.

DUMBLEDORE
Being me has its privileges.
DUMBLEDORE
This is the place. Oh yes, this place has known magic.

HARRY
Sir!

DUMBLEDORE
In order to gain passage, payment must be made, payment intended to weaken
any intruder.

HARRY
You should've let me, sir.

DUMBLEDORE
Oh, no, Harry. Your blood is much more precious than mine.

DUMBLEDORE
Voldemort will not have made it easy to discover his hiding place. He will
put certain defenses in position.
Careful.

DUMBLEDORE
There it is. The only question how do we get to it?
If you would, Harry...

HARRY
Do you think the Horcrux is in there, sir?

DUMBLEDORE
Oh yes.

DUMBLEDORE
It has to be drunk, all of it has to be drunk. You remember the condition
on which I brought you with me?

DUMBLEDORE
This potion might paralyze me. It might cause me to forget why I'm here. It
might create so much pain I beg for relief. You are not to indulge these
requests, Harry. It is your job to make sure I keep drinking this potion
even if you have to force it down my throat. Understood?

HARRY
Why can't I drink it, sir?

DUMBLEDORE
Because I am much older, much cleverer... and much less valuable.
Your good health, Harry.

HARRY
Professor?

HARRY
Professor? Can you hear me?

DUMBLEDORE
Don't... don't make me...

HARRY
You... you can't stop, Professor. You've got to keep drinking. Like you
said. Remember.
DUMBLEDORE
Nooooooo!!!

DUMBLEDORE
Make it stop... Please... make it stop...

HARRY
It will, sir. It'll stop. But only if you drink...

DUMBLEDORE
My fault. It's all my fault...

DUMBLEDORE
Too much... I can't... take it...I want... to die... kill... kill me...
KILL ME, HARRY!

HARRY
What?

DUMBLEDORE
Your word, Harry! Your word!

HARRY
No...

DUMBLEDORE
KILL ME! IT'S THE ONLY WAY!

HARRY
One more. Just one more. And then -- I promise... I'll do what you say.

HARRY
I promise.

DUMBLEDORE
Water.

DUMBLEDORE
Water...

HARRY
Aguamenti.

HARRY
You did it, sir. Look --

DUMBLEDORE
Water!

HARRY
I'm trying, sir. I'm --

DUMBLEDORE
Go...

DUMBLEDORE
We have to... go.

HARRY
Don't worry, sir. We're nearly there.
DUMBLEDORE
I am not worried, Harry. I am with you.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
To your Houses. No dawdling.

HARRY
We need to get you up to the hospital, sir, to Madam Pomfrey --

DUMBLEDORE
No. Severus... Severus is who I need... Go and wake him... Tell him what
has happened...
(MORE)
DUMBLEDORE (CONT'D)
Speak to no one else

DUMBLEDORE
Hide yourself below. And do not speak or show yourself without my
permission. No matter what happens, its imperative you stay below.

DUMBLEDORE
Do as I say, Harry.

DUMBLEDORE
Trust me.

DUMBLEDORE
Good evening, Draco. What brings you out on such a fine Spring evening? Or
is it Summer?

MALFOY
Who else is here? I heard you talking.

DUMBLEDORE
I often talk aloud to myself. I find it extraordinarily useful. That which
sounds sane at a whisper can seem utterly mad when said for all the world
to hear. Haven't been whispering to yourself, have you, Draco?

DUMBLEDORE
You are not an assassin, Draco.

MALFOY
How do you know what I am? I've done things that would shock you.

DUMBLEDORE
Like cursing Katie Bell and hoping she would, in turn, bear a curse
necklace to me? Like replacing a bottle of mead with one laced with poison.
Forgive me, Draco, but these are attempts so feeble I cannot help but
question if your heart has been really in them. I'm curious. When Voldemort
gave you this task, when he asked you to kill me, was it in a whisper?

MALFOY
He trusts me! I was chosen!

DUMBLEDORE
Then I shall make it easy for you.

MALFOY
Expelliarumus!
DUMBLEDORE
Well done, Draco. But I warn you. Killing is not nearly as easy.

DUMBLEDORE
You're not alone. Are you. There are others. How?

MALFOY
The Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement.

DUMBLEDORE
That cabinet has been broken for years.

MALFOY
I've been mending it.

DUMBLEDORE
Ingenious. Let me guess. It has a sister. A twin.

MALFOY
In Borgin & Burkes. They form a passage.

DUMBLEDORE
A passage, yes. Very good. I once knew a boy years ago who made all the
wrong choices. Let me help you, Draco.

MALFOY
I don't want your help! Don't you see! I have to do it! I have to!
I've got to kill you or he'll kill me.

BELLATRIX
Well now, look what we have here. Well done, Draco.

DUMBLEDORE
Good evening, Bellatrix. I think introductions are in order.

BELLATRIX
Love to, Albus. But I'm afraid we're on a bit of a tight schedule. Do it.

GREYBACK
He doesn't have the stomach. Like his father. Let me finish him. In my own
way.

BELLATRIX
No! The Dark Lord was clear. The boy's to do it. Go on, Draco. Now!

SNAPE (O.S.)
No.

DUMBLEDORE
Severus... please.

SNAPE
Avada Kedavra!

HARRY
Snape. He trusted you!

SNAPE
Go on
HARRY
Incacerata! Fight! Fight back, you coward!

SNAPE
No! He belongs to the Dark Lord!

HARRY
Sectumsempra!

SNAPE
You dare use my own spells against me, Potter?

SNAPE
Yes. It's me. I'm the Half-Blood Prince.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
Potter.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
Potter, in light of what's happened... should you feel the need to talk to
someone...

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
You should know... Professor Dumbledore...
You meant a great deal to him.

HERMIONE
Do you think he would've done it. Draco?

HARRY
No. He was lowering his wand. In the end, it was Snape. It was always
Snape. And I did nothing...It’s fake, open it!

HERMIONE
`To the Dark Lord. I know I will be dead long before you read this but I
want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen
the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in
the hope that when you meet your match, you will be mortal once more.
R.A.B.'

R.A.B.?

HARRY
Dunno. But whoever they are, they have the real Horcrux. Which means, it
was a waste. All of it.

HERMIONE
Ron's okay with it, you know. You and Ginny. But if I were you, when he's
around, I'd keep the snogging to a minimum.

HARRY
I'm not coming back, Hermione.

HERMIONE
We reckoned -- Ron and me.

HARRY
I have to finish what Dumbledore started. I'm not sure where that will lead
me... but I'll let you and Ron konw where I am -- when I can.
HERMIONE
I've always admired your courage, Harry, but sometimes... you're really
thick.

HERMIONE
You don't honestly think you can find all those Horcruxes by yourself, do
you? You need us, Harry.

HARRY
I never realized how beautiful this place was
