Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince follows the movie of the same name, where the player takes on the role of Harry Potter fighting against Lord Voldemort and his followers.
The game has an element of freedom as players can explore Hogwarts School at their own pace between chapters. To save time or find a quicker route, Harry can use portraits to teleport instantly to another location or call a ghost that shows him the fastest path to the next mission. The primary goal during exploration is to find 150 hidden crests that unlock achievements and trophies.
Mini Games
The majority of gameplay takes place in three mini-games: magic duels, brewing potions, and quidditch. In magic duels, Harry faces other magicians and uses his spells to defeat them. The player must recreate a specific movement on their input device to perform a spell. Quidditch is a reaction test where the player controls Harry's broom as it flies automatically through rings or obstacles.
In brewing potions, Harry must recreate a recipe using ingredients in the correct order within a time limit. If he makes a mistake, smoke appears, wasting time.

DISCOVERY
The magical world is filled with a variety of objects that Harry can discover and with which he can interact.
CRESTS
A number of Crests can be found around Hogwarts. Some of them are fairly obvious - Harry just needs to walk over them to collect them.

Mini-Crests can be found all over the castle. Double-tap the right analog stick when you are near a glowing object to cast Depulso, and Mini-Crests fly out for Harry to collect.

If Harry successfully completes the task, his reward is a Crest.
