From page to screen.
The sixth film combines a quieter school-year atmosphere with the growing certainty that the conflict is closing in. Dumbledore and Harry investigate memories connected to Tom Riddle, while Draco Malfoy's mission creates a parallel story inside Hogwarts.
Although the adaptation compresses parts of Voldemort's history, it establishes the Horcrux quest and the emotional conditions for the final two films.
