Harry's Success in Potions Lessons with the Half-Blood Prince's Instructions

PAGES: 194-195

Throughout the week, Harry continues to excel in Potions class by following the handwritten notes of the Half-Blood Prince, much to the delight of Horace Slughorn. Slughorn praises Harry's abilities, while Ron Weasley struggles to read the notes, and Hermione Granger becomes frustrated with Harry's reliance on the Prince's tips. Hermione suggests the handwriting may belong to a girl, but Harry dismisses the idea.
