Harry Potter Theory
About this episode

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re going to be discussing 10 things you might have missed in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

The Half-Blood Prince introduced us to a whole new side to Voldemort that we had rarely seen before: Tom Riddle’s past.

Thanks to Dumbledore’s memories, and Professor Slughorn’s recollection, we were granted a glimpse into Voldemort’s early years as a wizard… and how he eventually learned the secrets of creating Horcruxes.

Throughout the film, though, you might have missed some of the smaller details that make the wizarding world so rich.  So today, let’s take a deep dive, and check out 10 of the smaller bits from the Half Blood Prince that might have snuck by you.

Let’s get in to it.
