Book 6:
there is a new minister of magic (fudge got sacked). he visits the Muggle Prime Minister and tells him some horrible tragedies and deaths were dark wizards' faults, not random catastrophes. obviously voldemort supporters are getting out of hand, ministry of magic can't handle the huge problems.
dumbledore asks harry to help him before school starts. they are trying to persuade a professor Slughorn to teach at the school. he is Fat, lazy, jovial, and the kind of person who loves networking (likes to drop names, maintain contacts to get free gifts, etc), and favored Lily Potter as a student. he at first doesn't want to teach, but meeting harry persuades him and he takes the position. harry assumes it is the Defense of Dark arts position, but it is actually Potions... so Snape is the new DADA professor!
draco's mom and sister pay a visit to Snape and wormtail... narcissa begs him to take care of draco, and protect him from what the dark lord has asked him to do. snape promises and does the Unbreakable vow, to finish what draco is supposed to do. bellatrix does not trust snape, thinks he is a dumbledore supporter.
harry is suspicious of draco, but no one cares. he watches him on the map, finds that draco is spending a lot of time in the room of requirement. he becomes obsessed w/ finding out more, but can't get in cuz he doesn't know what draco uses it for. meanwhile, there are a few botched murder attempts. 1) katie bell gets imperiused to take a cursed necklace to the castle.. she fights w/ her friend and accidentally touches the necklace. she starts screaming and writhing and has to go to the hospital wing. 2) prof slughorn has a bottle of Rosmerta's mead that was supposed to go to Dumbledore, but he kept it for himself. he opens it when ron and harry come to him for some help regarding love potions, (ron accidentaly eats a drugged chocolate and is "in love" w/ some girl), and when he drinks the mead he is poisoned!! almost dies.
during this time ginny is really popular, has a few boyfriends. ron & harry catch her kissing, and ron embarrasses her. she screams that everyone else has "snogged" someone, but ron is the only one who hasn't. the next day, he is snogging lavendar all over town, and hermione gets hurt because they were starting to like each other (he is mad that she has probably snogged viktor krum). harry is developing feelings for ginny! btw... fleur delacour is engaged to ginny's brother bill!!
also, harry has an old book w/ writing all over it, from potions. it has spells and notes and tips, and he ends up being awesome in potions class. everyone is jealous, esp Hermione. it says "property of the half blood prince". he tries out some of the invented, hand-written spells, and one is horrible (sectumsempra).. he uses it against draco and his chest explodes and blood gushes Everywhere. snape fixes him up, but learns thru legimancy that harry has the text book. harry hides it in the room of requirement... which ironically is where draco has been most of the time mending a vanishing cabinet that connects Borgin and Burkes to Hogwarts.
all throughout this time dumbledore has been having secret lessons w/ harry, teaching and showing him about voldemort's past using memories he's collected from random people. they learn that slughorn has a secret, only harry can persuade slughorn to give him the real memory. harry eventually uses a cool potion Felix Felicious (liquid luck) to get it, and they learn that V has made 7 horcruxes (the ultimate evil way of keeping yourself immortal). dumbledore shares his ideas of what the horcruxes are. he promises harry they will go together when D finds another horcrux. they find one and leave hogwarts. harry is sure that draco is up to something, and gives his felix felicious to the gang.
they go to check out the horcrux.. D has to drink some mystery liquid in order to find the locket, which severely weakens him. he consistently asks for Snape, and they go back to the castle to find that there is a Dark Mark over hogwarts. harry is under his invisibility coat and is petrified by dumbledore, and can't move. draco uses that time to disarm D, and is scared but needing to Kill Dumbledore, under V's orders. other death eaters come out including snape, and snape kills D using Avada Kedavra. as harry is not petrified anymore, he runs after snape, and altho snape doesn't kill him they exchange words and jinxes. they death eaters run off, and the rest of the gang are ok except for Bill who is completely disfigured by a werewolf.
they hold a funeral for dumbledore. his portrait appears in the headmaster's room, sleeping. harry tells ginny he cannot be w/ her, as V may try to kill her to get to harry. hermione and ron have gotten together by this time. harry decides he will return to privet drive one last time, and not go back to hogwarts as he needs to destroy the horcruxes and Voldemort in book 7.

i recommend you read the books "The End of Harry Potter?" and "What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7?" they do a great recap of the books and delve into a lot of rumors and speculations. they also go through the different theories that are out there and go on both sides. the second book does a lot of that and has really helped me understand everything a lot better without making my mind up for me. i haven't finished the first one i mentioned but so far it is really interesting :)

I saw on an English web site that there will be a 4th movie but not a 5th or 6th. Because Harry mite die in this movie. It won't make any scense if Harry (the main character..) not to be in the 5th or 6th movie. He is the point for all of the movies and the action for it.

Well, of course Dumbledore was killed by Snape.
Harry pretty much broke up with Ginny because he didn't want her in too much danger.
With Dumbledore dead; noone knows if there is even going to be a hogwarts. Who will be headmaster?
Bill Weasley was engaged to Fleur and Bill was attacked by Fenrir Greyback, the werewolf who also attacked Remus. Since Fenrir didnt attack Bill on a full moon no one knows what will become of him...Fleur still insist that she will marry him...
and that leads into Tonks and Remus Lupin.
Throughout the story Tonks seems to get depressed...her patronus changes to a silvery four legged animal...Harry thinks that Tonks was in love with Sirius....BUT
While they are visiting Bill in the hospital and Fleurs insists on still marrying Bill Tonks breaks out into something.
here is what happens..
"You see!" said a strained voice. Tonks was glaring at Lupin. "She still wants to marry him, even though he's been bitten! She doesn't care!"
"It's different," said Lupin, barely moving his lips and looking suddenly tense. "Bill will not be a full werewolf. The cases are completely -"
"But I don't care either, I don't care!" said Tonks, seizing the front of Lupin's robes and shaking them. "I've told you a million times..."
And the meaning of Tonk's patronus and her mouse coloured hair, and the reason she had come running to find Dumbledore when she heard a rumour someone had been attacked by Greyback, all suddenly became clear to Harry; it had not been Sirius Tonks has fallen in love with after all...
and then at Dumbledore's funeral after that whole scene...Tonks and Remus are seen holding hands by Harry.
So will they become a 'thing' or not? Hmm.
I suggest if you have time to re-read it! That's what I'm going to do to pass time from now till July 21st!
I hope I helped!
Best of Luck! :)
