Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Windows - 2009

Description from the publisher:

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts

Many of the files was presented by Harry Potter Games Archive Project, we want to thank the participants of that project.

US version of the game has 3 languages: English, French & Spanish. European version of the game has 15 languages, you can select it in game menu

How to Play

The game with NoDVD has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10, works okay, the game supports widescreen. But the game has some troubles and critical bugs, don't forget to check our guides and Notes

Install & play guide:

  • Mount the disc image. You will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools Lite
  • Install the game (if autorun doesn't work - simply launch the installation from Setup.exe inside the disc, run as administrator)
  • Also it is recommended to install DirectX from the disc (if you're using Windows 10 - enable DirectPlay, read this or this guide how to do it)
  • After you installed the game - install NoDVD (simply copy hp6.exe from the archive and put it into game folder, agree to replace original file)
  • Open the game folder and find hp6.exe. Right click on hp6.exe - Properties - Compatibility - Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP or Vista" and "Run as administrator"
  • Launch the game and play. If the game doesn't work - try to launch the game in compatibility mode with old versions of Windows (98, 2000, WinXP or Vista)

Notes:

  • If the installation doesn't start - try to launch Setup.exe in compatibility mode with old version of Windows (98, 2000 or XP) and as administrator
  • NoDVD is required for the launch because the game is using SecuROM DRM protection, which doesn't work on modern systems. That NoDVD "breaks" DRM protection and allows the game to work on modern systems
  • It is recommended to install all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for the correct work of the game
  • The game works on DirectX 9, so if you're using Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 - you need to enable DirectPlay: Go to Control Panel, and select 'Programs'. Select 'Turn Windows features on and off', click on 'Legacy Components' and check the box 'DirectPlay'. Select OK, once the installation is done, restart your computer
  • By default the game supports resolutions up to 1920x1080 but there's a random bug on some systems when you can't select high resolution in settings, in that case use Resolution Fix, simply copy the files to main game folder and edit harry.mod.ini to set new resolution
  • If you want o play the game on ultra-widescreen or ultra-high resolution, edit exe-file with HeX editor, read this guide for more details
  • If the game shows error "d3dx9_37.dll is missed" - simply download that dll and put it in game folder, next to exe-file
  • If the game is crashing at launch - run the game through DxWnd, read this guide. Here's also video guide on Portuguese
  • If that method didn't help - you can run the game on Virtual Machine, here's a step-by-step guide
  • There's a random bug on some systems when the game crashes at the bridge area, when you play the game on 1920x1080 or higher, lowering the resolution of the game to 1600x900 solves the problem
  • For users of Windows 64-bit systems: if the game doesn't work after you launched it - open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del by default) and check for processes hp6.exe and rundll32.exe. Close hp6.exe but don't touch rundll32.exe (it's a Windows app for running old apps from 32-bit operational systems, most old games running through rundll32.exe). Now try to launch the game again, it must work. Don't forget to close rundll32.exe process in Task Manager after finishing playing
  • Don't forget to check PCGamingWiki page if you have troubles, it is very useful!

Hey folks,

Generally new here but i have downloaded loads of games, most of which seem to run into similar issues. i have a list of games I've done this for, but honestly if your having any issues with the applications or startup.exe or autorun.exe, and keep getting the ' cant find setup.exe or autorun.exe, simply follow the steps to the wolverine game,

Open bin file using SuperISO or following applications.
mount the iso.
try the startup or auto run, if it doesn't work then simply create a new folder in your desired directory , name this folder whatever the game is, copy the info from the E drive or whatever your virtual disc drive is, paste them into the folder then try running startup as admin and whatever Version of Windows they recommend.

ive found it somehow bypasses some locked components on some versions of windows, which even running as administrator off the bat couldnt solve.

anyway try this if all else fails, seems to have worked for me.

You will still need the NoDisc ect for the games . sometimes you dont. best to get them anyway.

also using win 11, I followed all the steps from the previous user comment @lovemesomekiwi and it finally managed to work! thank you!

you can also remove the dvd romstation thing shortly after you copied all the files there, and place it to the new folder you want to place the games at. then click the hp6 exe (the replaced nodvd one as indicated in the steps) in the pc subfolder to run the game.

Love me some kiwi 02 Jun. 2026

OKAYYY after tinkering some while I finally can play this game. I give a step to step guide of what I did to finally make it work. I do have windows 11.

1. download all the programs and files you need:
1. download game
2. WinCDEmu
3. microsoft visual c++
4. NODVD (game extras)
5. mini image (game extras)

2. extract all files and set up all the programs

3. You open the extracted game file and click on harry potter. This opens the DVD-station of the game. You go to directX and download the DXSETUP.
guide to set it on windows:
1. go to windows
2. search: turn windows features on and off.
3. go to legacy components and tap +
4. Enable Directplay
5. restart pc

4. go to the extracted mini image file variant 2 click on NS-HPHBP_sr-poseden. there you get a new tab. change the data disk to: DVD-ROM. This opens a romstation on your pc.

5. copy the dvd station of the game in the romstation. then go to folder pc and delete the hp6 file.

6. Go to the NODVD extracted file and copy the hp6 file. This version of the hp6 file you paste in the dvd pc file of step 5.

7. Now you copy the dvd-station from the romstation to wherever file you want to put in on your file explorer.

8. now you can play the game!

This helped me to finally play the game. I hop it also works for you.

Rain 05 May. 2025

For anyone struggling, if it says theres no CD after install, you have to download the NoDVD from the game extras here and put it in the game folder (not on the CD, there it says no space, but the one in C:/Program Files x86/... etc. etc. You will be able to copy it there and choose replace file and after that the game will run normally)

HPFan 05 May. 2024

So, for the longest time I had this on my PC and working, and then yesterday I tried to open it and it would just go to a black screen for a second then minimize, and anytime I tried to bring it up it just did the same. And I knew I was going to be in hell, because I hate dealing with ISO's and all of this, I rarely get it.

I downloaded this and followed the instructions best I could, but it's saying "Please insert the original disc instead of a backup (1000)." This is probably because I wasn't able to copy over the hp6.exe file, because the only one I see is in the pc folder from what I assume is the mounted drive, and I can't copy it over the one in the Programs Files folder, it just asks me to make a shortcut instead.

Older comments from the admin say they uploaded a cleaner iso, but I don't know if that means the Razor1911 file is still suppose to be here, because I just don't see it. If anyone has help to offer, I'd be grateful. I have a whole HP game collection, I'd like to get this one back up and running properly.

Thank you for kind words.

Yes, most antivirus apps doesn't like keygens, so add it to antivirus exceptions. Also, I uploaded some serial keys as txt-file, they are available in Downloads - Game Extras - Misc. That keys are working, use it if you can't run keygen

Themevictory 28 Mar. 2023

Hello everybody especially Admin,
I have figured out cause of the problem.
It was Windows Security (Windows 11 genuine Antivirus) interfaring with keygen download.
This problem can be fixed by making an exlusion for the folder where you wish to download the new keygen.
Then download the keygen and it will work even with IDM too.

Thanks for helping eachother everybody!!!
Especially a big thanks to ADMIN for fixing out keygen problem for good.
I can confirm that this new keygen is a tool for many games.
Thanks again Admin.
Consider yourself as our hero to this site :-)

Best regards,
Themevictory

Themevictory 28 Mar. 2023

1 Point to Admin from me for uploading a new Keygen.
Many Thanks @ ADMIN.

However it's still not working.
Whenever I try to download the keygen without IDM it does not download anything.
Whenever I try to download keygen with IDM it says:
"An error occurred during download. Please try again.
Details:
Cannot open local file for writing while joining downloaded parts into one file."

Please fix this error.
Thanks.

Got the iso from Ocean of Games. It's true, you have to replace the HP6.exe by the one that is given in the Razor1911 folder in order to run the game.

We have updated the game, added new clean ISO images of original DVDs, without keygen inside, so your antivirus won't "argue" anymore.
Plus we replaced keygen for working one, you can find it in Downloads - Extras. It's a multi-keygen for many Electronic Arts games, it's safe to us and it generates working CD keys

Themevictory 13 Mar. 2023

Thanks Barry,
Now can anybody please help me with figuring out how to make this only Razor1911 keygen work???

There is something I have been failed to figure out too.
WHenever I run Razor1911 Keygen (even with administrator and all compatibility modes from WIndows 95 to Windows 8) it still fails and does not show codes.
A error message is shown: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). click ok to close the application."
I have installed all versions of DirectX 9-12, even all Versions of .NET from 4 to 7.0.3 and all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ all from version 2005,2008,2015-2019,2022.
Have you guys got to make it work???
If so I would like to know how??? I really want to???

I have experienced the same problem. No matter how hard i tried or even copied serial from one in the comments piece by piece it still failed.

@COPYING GROPHET THE OLDER COMMENT
@GPROPHET

Guys above are not kidding. It's real.
And here is the solution I have found to solve out this issue.
Before you run Autorun.exe just right click on it choose propertiescompatibility and for all users choose Windows XP SP2 & Choice of administratorClick apply and OK.
Now try to put in even same mentioned key and see the magic for yourself. :-)

There is something I have been failed to figure out too.

works like a charm, u entered something wrong:
-run autorun.exe (located in mounted .iso, autorun should run automatically, but if doesnt, do this)
-press install
-enter code (either run the "Keygen.exe" (Razor1911 folder in .iso) or copy the code one by one, exactly in that order as its in the comment)
-press next and do the rest
-after the game is installed (ignore the site launched, just close - its EA some BS etc.),
-go to Razor1911 folder on the .iso and copy hp.exe to ur game directory, meaning where u installed the game, if u changed nothing it should be:
"C:\Program Files (x64)\Electronic Arts\Harry Potter and The half blood prince\ something like this, and u copy the hp.exe to folder "pc"
-launch the game

Gamerdad 19 Sep. 2022

to make this game work either use the keygen to create a game key to install or use the cd code found in the comments. after you have installed the game just go to the Razor1911 folder on the mounted disc. copy the HP application to the install location on your local hard drive it will be under the pc folder. over write the hp app there and you should be good to play. If not run in compatibility mode for vista.

I got it to run perfectly, you must go into the iso and copy the hp.exe in the folder razor1911 and replace it with the hp.exe that was installed into the computer. To do this you must find the game shortcut on the desktop and "open file location" locate the hp.exe in the pc folder and paste over it. BOOM it should work!
