Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Scene 27 Summary

  • Later, but still at the Burrow, Tonks, Lupin, and the Weasleys are saying goodbye outside when Lupin seems to sense…something. That can't mean anything good.
  • At the same time, Harry and Ginny are chatting, and things are looking awfully cozy. Are they finally going to get together?
  • Well, guess not. Suddenly, Bellatrix Lestrange appears in a ring of fire surrounding the Burrow. Yup.
  • Harry races out of the Burrow to chase her, and Ginny follows. (Just–why?)
  • They end up in a cornfield running around separately, with Bellatrix taunting them out of sight.
  • Ginny is alone in a clearing when Greyback suddenly appears. Harry comes running and tries to defend her, and then Greyback disappears. Then reappears. Then disappears. Oh, and now Bella's back, too. And Lupin, Tonks and Mr. Weasley have run into the cornfield to try to help. It's pretty chaotic, actually. Is there a barf bag on this plane? Because we're getting a wee bit dizzy.
  • The good news: the Bella and Greyback decide to leave. The bad news? On their way out, they crash into the Burrow and set fire to it.
