Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Scene 2 Summary

  • Now we're in an office building with some random folks peering out their windows, staring at a stormy sky outside. Eeek, don't look now, but there's a skull in the clouds, and some black figures racing through the streets of London. Looks like all the dark stuff happening in the magical community is seeping out into the Muggle world. As we mentioned, things are getting real.
  • The black streaky-smoky figures crash into some windows in an alleyway (is that Diagon Alley?), setting a store ablaze and terrifying the people around them.
  • A masked Death Eater and some other guy (another Death Eater?) emerge from the store, with a hooded prisoner in tow. Hmm, wonder who that is?
  • The Death Eaters take off from the alley and continue zooming around the city, wrecking a bridge with a bunch of pedestrians on it.
  • The message is clear: Voldemort and his peeps are out of hiding. And ready to cause major trouble.
