"Will you, Severus, watch over my son Draco as he attempts to fulfill the Dark Lord's wishes?" Narcissa Malfoy. Suspicion and fear sweep through the wizarding world as news of the Dark Lord's attack on the Ministry of Magic spreads. Harry has told no one about the future foretold by the prophecy in the Department of Mysteries, nor how deeply affected he is by what happened to Sirius Black. He longs for Professor Dumbledore to come and take him away from the Dursleys - yet Hogwarts may no longer be the safe haven from Voldemort's dark forces that it once was. In his sixth year, the names Black, Malfoy, Lestrange, and Snape will haunt Harry with shadows of trust and betrayal as he uncovers the secret behind the mysterious Half-Blood Prince - and Dumbledore prepares him to face his own terrible fate. These adult editions have been stylishly redesigned to showcase Andrew Davidson's beautiful woodcut cover art.
