The next morning before breakfast, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] tells [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] what he overheard on the train. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] repeats that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco]] was probably just showing off tofor [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Pansy Parkinson|Pansy]], but Hermione thinks that is an awfully big lie just to impress a girl. Hermione confiscates a Fanged Frisbee from a passing fourth-year. Ron takes it, saying he has always wanted one. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lavender Brown|Lavender Brown]], passing by, giggles loudly and appreciatively at Ron's comment.
 
[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]] hands out schedules, a complicated process for sixth year students because [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/OWL exams|OWL results]] determine which classes students qualify for. Hermione gets her courses straight away, butof course. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville's]] Acceptable OWL grade is too low for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/NEWT exams|NEWT-level]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Transfiguration|Transfiguration]], but his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Charms|Charms]] grade is high enough for that course. McGonagall informs [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Parvati Patil|Parvati Patil]] that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Firenze|Firenze]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sibyll Trelawney|Professor Trelawney]] are splitting [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Divination|Divination]] classes, and that Professor Trelawney is teaching sixth year. Harry's lost hope to become an [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Auror|Auror]] is revived when he learns that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Horace Slughorn|Professor Slughorn]] accepts a lower OWL grade than [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Professor Snape]] for NEWT-level [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Potions|Potions]] classes. Both Harry and Ron sign up, although Harry worries that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] will be upset that they are not taking [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Care of Magical Creatures|Care of Magical Creatures]]. Professor McGonagall also hands Harry a list with new [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Quidditch|Quidditch]] recruits to conduct trials with.
 
In the first [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Defence Against the Dark Arts|Defence Against the Dark Arts]] lesson, Snape reviews the many forms the Dark Arts can take, using gruesome examples. He demonstrates how to cast nonverbal spells (performing magic without using a spoken incantation), and chooses Harry to play a victim of a nonverbal spell; Harry instinctively reacts by blasting a spoken [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Protego|Shield Charm]] at Snape, and (after giving him cheek) earns a detention. Harry is momentarily reprieved by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Jack Sloper|Jack Sloper]], who inquires about Quidditch tryouts, andbearing a message from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] regarding their private lesson, which is scheduled at the same time as the detention. Harry, eager to read Dumbledore's message, leaves Sloper, who is asking about Quidditch try-outs, in mid-sentence.
 
Harry finds Potions far more enjoyable without Snape. Hermione, as usual, excels and earns Gryffindor thirty points for correctly guessing three cauldrons' content, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Veritaserum|Veritaserum]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Polyjuice Potion|Polyjuice potion]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Amortentia|a Love potion]], and for accurately identifying the effects of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Felix Felicis|Felix Felicis]]. Slughorn is impressed by her abilities, even though she is Muggle-born. Another Muggle-born student, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lily Potter|Lily Evans]] (Harry's mother), was another favorite, although he is inclined to favor purebloods. That he is the former Head of Slytherin House further supports this tendency.
Dòng 13:
As the name suggests, Felix Felicis is liquid luck. One tablespoon at breakfast will provide a perfect day. It is dangerous if made improperly and is banned in competitions, examinations, and elections. Excessive consumption can cause giddiness, recklessness, and even death. For the first lesson, whoever brews the best [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Draught of Living Death|Draught of Living Death]] will win a tiny flask of Felix Felicis from Slughorn, enough luck for twelve hours.
 
Harry brews his potion using a second-hand textbook, ''Advanced Potion Making'', that Slughorn loanedloans him. Handwritten into the book's margins are many new spells and jinxes, as well as revisions to standard potions. Harry finds the revisions more effective than the original instructions. With it, Harry brews the best Living Death draught in the class, winning the Good Luck potion.
 
When Harry later admits to Ron and Hermione that he was using the mysterious book's instructions, Hermione becomes furious by his ill-gotten success. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ginny Weasley|Ginny]], overhearing this, asks if Harry is using instructions from a book. Remembering Ginny's nearly-fatal experience with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets|Tom Riddle's diary]], Hermione tests the textbook with her wand for any hidden magical properties, but is unable to detect any. Harry notices writing on the back cover: ''This book belongs to the Half-Blood Prince''. Whoever the "Prince" may be, Harry is grateful to this talented unknown student.

== Analysis ==
 
Harry is a naturally intelligent and talented wizard, but academically he is a rather lazy student, usually getting by on average or just-above average grades and often relying on Hermione's help. Potions, in particular, has always proved tedious and difficult for him, partially due to his strained relationship with Professor Snape. It is only when a particular subject, like Defence Against the Dark Arts, interests Harry that he works hard and excels at it. For the first time, he is challenged to learn about Potions after discovering a talented former student's innovative methods to brewing standard potions more efficiently. Harry is a non-traditional learner, and while Snape has ineffectively taught him Potions, the Half-Blood Prince, in a brief time period, has inspired him to learn more than he has over the past five years, even though it is with unorthodox, short-cut methods. Harry may also be feeling somewhat pressured to live up to his mother's reputation in Slughorn's Potions class. And though Hermione is outraged that Harry ignores official potion-making instructions, an action she feels is equivalent to cheating, the Prince's book has given Harry an alternative learning avenue that has aroused his academic curiosity and will serve him later in the story. Hermione's negative reaction may also be tinged by jealousy and resentment. She has always earned the top grades in her classes (except Defense Against the Dark Arts), and she revels in the accompanying accolades; now, Harry is outshining her in Potions, something she may have difficulty accepting, especially considering that she feels Harry has done so with illicit methods compared to her diligent studying.
As a side note, even though Hermione correctly identifies the three cauldrons' contents in Slughorn's class, winning her high praise and House points, it is hardly surprising that she recognizes the Polyjuice Potion, having brewed it herself during her second year (in ''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets''). Unfortunately, for Hermione at least, the results were less than successful when she accidentlyaccidentally added cat hair rather than human to her portion, landing her in the infirmary for weeks.
 
This chapter drops another hint that Harry has growing feelings for Ginny. In the first Potions class, when Harry sniffs the love potion, he detects "''treacle tart, the woody smell of a broomstick handle, and something flowery he thought he might have smelled at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/The Burrow|the Burrow]]''". And later, when the Trio meet Ginny, Harry, "''caught a sudden waft of that flowery smell he had picked up in Slughorn's dungeon''". Hermione mentions that a love potion contains the scent of what it is that attracts a person to someone, and it is different for each individual; she runs off the scents she detected, but stops short before mentioning the third, possibly afraid that it would identify someone she cares about. By this stage in the series, we should certainly know Harry's feelings about broomsticks and treacle tart, and it is hardly surprising that Hermione characteristically identifies one odor as fresh parchment. Harry's noticing Ginny's scent in the potion, even though he does not yet recognize it, shows his attraction to her, while beinghe remains oblivious to that fact.
 
Neville is despondent that he is unable to take NEWT-level Transfiguration, and is scarcely heartened by the option to take Charms, saying that his grandmother believes it to be a "soft option," a course that is little or no work and thus has little value. However, he is greatly cheered up to discover that his fearsome grandmother had, in fact, failed her OWL-level Charms exam. This single, small event puts a human face on [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Augusta Longbottom|Augusta Longbottom]], who until this point had only been a starchy, distant presence with a vulture on her hat, but is now revealed as having the all-too-human tendency to discount any skill she is not good at. It additionally is one more step on Neville gaining his independence from his grandmother.

It is interesting to learn that Harry's mother was so talented at Potions. Particularly given that Snape was in her class, one would expect that Snape would have used Lily as a counter-example to Harry's apparent ineptness. One can almost hear Snape sneering, "Unable to brew a simple Strengthening Solution? Your mother could have done that with one hand tied behind her back. Clearly this apple has fallen far from the tree..." And yet, Snape never once mentioned Lily. There is a reason why not, of course, but it is not revealed until [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|the final book in the series]].
 
For much of the remainder of the book, Harry will be searching for hints as to who the Half-Blood Prince is. He will, at Christmas, discover that the book had been printed some fifty years before, which will, he believes, rule out the possibility that it had belonged to his own father. It will turn out that the Half-Blood Prince was at school when Harry's father and mother were there, though, as a poor student, he was unable to afford new books and purchased second-hand. It is curious, perhaps, that Harry does not seem to consider the possibility that textbooks could be purchased used, even though he has seen that happening in the case of Ginny, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 4|some years before]].
 
In fact, this used textbook will become one of the larger plot devices throughout the entire book, with Harry consulting it in Potions class, and thereby becoming one of Slughorn's best students. Additionally, Harry will find a number of unrelated magical spells in the margins of the book, and will have opportunity to make use of them through the year. Hermione will never be entirely happy with Harry's use of the spells in that book, unsure as she is of their provenance; her worries will eventually prove to have some ground in fact as Harry will discover the very dark [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Sectumsempra|Sectumsempra]] spell in the book, with no clue as to what it does.
