The Story

After another summer at the Burrow, Harry, Ron and Hermione return to Hogwarts. Due to Draco Malfoy’s unusual behaviour, Harry suspects him of having become a Death Eater during the holidays.
At Hogwarts, Professor Slughorn has come out of his retirement to teach Potions and has revived his “Slug Club”, a group of talented, powerful and (eventually) influential students. Upon Professor Dumbledore’s orders, Harry does his best to become one of Slughorn’s favourites and to obtain a memory of Slughorn’s that will enable Harry and Dumbledore to discover one of Lord Voldemort’s secrets.
While Ron becomes Quidditch star and brings Hermione to tears when he starts dating classmate Lavender Brown, Harry struggles with his feelings for Ron’s sister Ginny and figuring out the identity of the previous owner of his Potions book, the “Half-Blood Prince”.
Draco Malfoy on the other hand is busy trying to fulfil the order Lord Voldemort has given him…

Rupert’s character

Despite an abysmal tryout, Ron joins the Gryffindor Quidditch team, but gives a spectacularly good performance during their first match against Slytherin. During the post-match celebrations, Ron starts kissing Lavender Brown, much to the shock and anger of Hermione Granger.
Despite being Lavender’s boyfriend, Ron finds himself “in love” with Romilda Vane after overdosing on love-potion induced sweets intended for Harry. Just when Professor Slughorn has cured Ron from his heartache, Ron accidentally gets poisoned by a drink meant for Professor Dumbledore…
