In Harry Potter, the fate of the Wizarding World essentially rests on the destruction of Voldemort's Horcruxes. With his Horcruxes intact, Voldemort is essentially tethered to the mortal realm, no matter what the outcome, which obviously makes ending his tyrannical regime a tall order.
But instead of the most powerful wizard of all time leading the charge, the task is left to a 17 year old. By the time we reach Half Blood Prince, Dumbledore has figured out the secret behind Voldemort's immortality.
He knows that Voldemort has split his soul into multiple pieces, he has a pretty good idea of the kinds of objects Voldemort would have chosen, and he has even successfully tracked down and destroyed one of the Horcruxes himself. Marvallo Gaunt's ring lay on the desk before Dumbledore.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (23 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
