Throughout the five previous novels in the Harry Potter series, the main character, Harry Potter, has struggled with the difficulties that come with growing up and the added challenge of being a famous wizard. When Harry was a baby, Voldemort, the most powerful Dark wizard in history, killed Harry's parents but the killing curse, Avada Kedavra, mysteriously rebounded on Voldemort after unsuccessfully trying to kill Harry. This results in Harry's immediate fame and his being placed in the care of his Muggle, or non-magical, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, who have a son named Dudley Dursley.
Harry enters the wizarding world at the age of 11, enrolling in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He makes friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and is confronted by Lord Voldemort trying to regain power. After returning to the school after summer break, students at Hogwarts are attacked after the legendary "Chamber of Secrets" is opened. Harry ends the attacks by killing a Basilisk and defeating another attempt by Lord Voldemort to return to full strength. The following year, Harry hears that he has been targeted by escaped murderer Sirius Black. Despite stringent security measures at Hogwarts, Harry is confronted by Black at the end of his third year of schooling, and Harry learns that Black was framed and is actually Harry'sgodfather. Harry's fourth year sees him entered in a dangerous magical competition called the Triwizard Tournament. At the conclusion of the Tournament, Harry witnesses the return of Lord Voldemort to full strength. During Harry's fifth year, the Ministry of Magic appoints Dolores Umbridge as the new High Inquisitor of Hogwarts. After forming an underground student group in opposition to Umbridge, Harry and several of his friends face off against Voldemort's Death Eaters, a group of Dark witches and wizards, and narrowly defeat them.
Rowling started writing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince before her third son, David, was born, but she took a break to care for him. The first chapter, "The Other Minster", which features the meeting between the Muggle Prime Minister, Cornelius Fudge, and his successor, Rufus Scrimgeour, was a concept Rowling tried to start Philosopher's Stone, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Order of the Phoenix, but she found "it finally works" in Half-Blood Prince. When asked if she liked the book, she responded, "I like it better than I liked 'Goblet', 'Phoenix or 'Chamber' when I finished them. Book six does what I wanted it to do and even if nobody else likes it (and some won't), though the Deathly Hallows is my favoirte, the Half-Blood Prince will remain one of my other favorites of the series. Ultimately you have to please yourself before you please anyone else!"
Rowling revealed the title of Half-Blood Prince on her website on 29 June 2004. This was the title she had once considered for the second book, Chamber of Secrets, though she decided that the information disclosed belonged more in book six. On 21 December 2004, she announced she had finished writing it, along with the release date of 16 July. Bloomsbury unveiled the cover on 8 March 2005.
The film adaptation of the sixth book was originally scheduled to be released on 21 November 2008, but was changed to 15 July 2009. Directed by David Yates, the screenplay was written by Steve Kloves and produced by David Heyman and David Barron. The film is 153 minutes long, making it the third longest Harry Potter film of the series. Upon its release to critical and commercial success, the film became the only entry in the series to gain an Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography.
