Play Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince (US)(Suxxors) Online

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for the Nintendo DS came out in 2009, developed by EA Bright Light Studio. It was part of that wave of licensed movie games that tried to capture the handheld magic of the films, fitting right in with the DS library's focus on touchscreen interaction.

You play as Harry, navigating Hogwarts from a fixed, screen-by-screen perspective, talking to characters and solving environmental puzzles to advance the story. The main goal involves investigating Draco Malfoy's suspicious activities while also brewing potions and learning new spells through specific touchscreen gestures. The pacing is fairly relaxed, though some of the potion-making sequences can get tense under time pressure. It feels like a condensed, interactive version of the film, built around the hardware's unique capabilities.
