Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Scene 15 Summary

  • Back at Hogwarts, McGonagall is examining the necklace.
  • She interviews the students about what happened.
  • Katie's friend tells McGonagall that Katie got the package when she went to the bathroom at the pub, and said it was important that she deliver it.
  • To whom, you ask? She was on her way to Dumbledore. Yikes.
  • Snape arrives, examines the necklace, and says Katie is lucky to be alive. It would seem that she was cursed (bewitched without her knowing what she was doing) into delivering this evil-gram to Dumby. Double yikes.
  • Harry accuses Malfoy (who he had also seen lurking around The Three Broomsticks) of being the curse culprit—but, since he has no evidence, McGonagall and Snape are not impressed.
  • McGonagall orders the kids back to the dorms.
