The story begins with the wizarding world in a state of open war. Lord Voldemort has returned, and the sense of security at Hogwarts has vanished. Harry, now sixteen, starts his sixth year under the private tutelage of Albus Dumbledore. These sessions involve traveling through the Pensieve to explore the history of Tom Riddle. Understanding Voldemort’s origins becomes the key to finding his weaknesses, specifically the Horcruxes—objects containing pieces of his soul.

Simultaneously, the long-simmering feelings between Ron and Hermione boil over into jealousy, while Harry realizes his growing affection for Ginny Weasley.
