Answer: Defence Against the Dark Arts

2. Who gives Harry the Half-Blood Prince's school book?

Answer: Professor Slughorn

Harry didn't think he'd be able to take Potions in his sixth year at Hogwarts. However, when he finds out Potions has a new teacher, he signs up for the subject but has no book on the subject. Professor Slughorn kindly loans him a copy of the book.

3. Harry uses the Half-Blood Prince's annotations to excel expectations at Potions. Who wrote the original textbook that the Half-Blood Prince wrote his notes in?

Answer: Slytherin

Like most other bad wizards including Lord Voldemort and Draco Malfoy, the Half-Blood Prince was sorted in to the Slytherin house. He is now head of that particular house.

In the chapter "Flight of the Prince", Professor Snape tells Harry not to use his own spells against him. He then admits that he is the Half-Blood Prince. Thank you for playing!
