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.
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
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.
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).
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
B. Limitation of the Study
(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.
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.
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.
1.
From the definition above we know that in fact the forms of idioms can be two:
sentence or phrase.
Definitions of Sentence and Phrase
a)
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:
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
• My mother gives me a beautiful dress.
The writer syntezises that a sentence at least has to have a subject and
predicate in it. The example of sentence is:
This example is a sentence because it has a subject and a predicate.
1) Subject : My mother
2) Predicate : gives
b)
A S Hornby (1974;629) defines
The definition of phrase
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.
9
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
2.
This example is a phrase because it has no subject and predicate. As a
phrase, it behaves as adverb.
Now, the writer will give examples of idioms used both as a phrase and a
sentence.
Idioms as Sentences and Phrases
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
Clause
Noun phrase
Verb phrase
Noun phrase
Prep. phrase
Noun phrase
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,
a) Phrasal Verbs
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:
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
a) Phrasal Verbs
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:
Geoffrey Leech (2001:392) mentioned “A phrasal verbs consists of
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)
VERB + ADVERB. The two words form an idiom. It is called a phrasal verb
only if the adverb changes the meaning of the verb.”
(1). Broke down means stopped working.
The example of phrasal verbs as idioms are:
(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.
c) Prepositional Phrase
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).
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).
(1). PREPOSITION + NOUN PHRASE
Forms of Prepositional Phrase are:
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.

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.
dioms 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.
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.

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.

APPENDICES
HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE WOMAN I killed Sirius Black MAN He’s back WAITRESS (O.S.) Harry Potter. Who's Harry Potter? HARRY 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 THE END
