The Half-Blood Prince

The Half-Blood Prince is a figure from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, referring to Severus Snape, a complex character who secretly possesses mixed magical heritage—part Muggle (non-magical) and part wizard. The title is also linked to a potion book Snape uses, which contains helpful notes from an earlier owner. Snape’s identity as the Half-Blood Prince reveals his hidden background and ambiguous loyalties. His character embodies themes of identity, sacrifice, and the blurry line between good and evil, playing a pivotal role in the unfolding story of Harry’s fight against dark forces.
