Harry’s rival, Draco Malfoy.
Harry is in his Potions class
Under the tutelage of Severus Snape,
A teacher who seems to hate him,
And who wears a cool cape.

He discovers a used Potions book
With tons of little notes.
He tries them out, finds that they work,
And keeps the booklet in his tote.

The notes come from the Half-Blood Prince,
A mystery to young Harry,
But he shrugs it off and aces the class,
And his classmates admire Harry.

Harry’s rival, Draco,
Is given a sinister task.
He must up and murder Dumbledore,
Or he’ll never finish his class.

Voldemort is up to other acts
Of violence and of terror.
He kills and tortures people
And makes them disappear.

He has allies and an Army,
Getting stronger by the day.
He knows that his vengeance
Is just a little time away.

Harry, in a bit of a fugue.
Harry and Dumbledore
Discover the Horcrux,
Which tells them that Voldemort’s soul
Is sundered into little chunks.

Perhaps six pieces of his soul
Have been hidden in distant places.
They will have to destroy each one
To close all these Voldemort cases.

With all pieces gone, he’ll surely die.
No more Voldemort,
But if they miss even one,
They will certainly come up short.

This big idea becomes the plot
for the next two Harry films.
This one gets a five point one.
It’s an excellent sixth film.

Harry and his mates enjoy some Butterbeer.
