QIs "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" based on a book?
AHarry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2005) is the sixth book of the Harry Potter series written by British author J.K. Rowling. The novel was adapted for the screen by American screenwriter Steve Kloves. It was preceded by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) and followed by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011).
QIf Dumbledore never showed memories of or talked with Harry about the remaining Horcruxes, how will he know what to look for in the next two films?
AThe obvious answer to this question is of course to watch The Deathly Hallows Parts I and II. For those who have not (yet) seen the movies: keep in mind that, in adapting the books to movies, the screenwriters have shown to be quite adept in bypassing entire parts from the book, while still passing essential information in creative ways. Good example is the omission of the character Dobby from each book since The Prisoner of Azkaban; Dobby's main purpose in the books is to relay important information, which is done in other ways in the movies. It did take some deviations from the book, as David Yates said that some of the events of the seventh and eighth film had an effect on the way the sixth film was written. This may refer to the lack of information Harry has, about the four remaining Horcruxes. For those who wish to get a few hints, there are a couple of developments that enable Harry to find and locate the remaining Horcruxes: (1) Through a chance encounter, Harry eventually finds out that Bellatrix Lestrange is extremely worried that her vault at Gringotts bank has been breached. With the help of Griphook the Goblin, who works at Gringotts bank, he deduces that this worries her, because a Horcrux is also stored there and she is afraid it was also stolen. (2) Harry's telepathic connection to Lord Voldemort still works. When the Dark Lord is worrying about one of his soul fragments, Harry may be able to see these thoughts. (3) The dark magic from the Horcruxes leaves traces that enable Harry to identify them.
