Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince features the exploration of Hogwarts and casting spells on objects around the school, similar to its predecessor. The game also includes multiplayer games, classes, different times of day, Quidditch, Wizard Duels and Potion making. The Marauder's Map is included in the game, with progress opening other parts of the school. Harry can also call Nearly Headless Nick to show him around the school. Harry is the main playable character in the game, but Ron and Ginny are also available in two levels.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on the Wii offers a chance to explore Hogwarts with motion controls, but the experience is ultimately shallow. The story is presented disjointedly, and the gameplay revolves around repetitive potion-making, dueling, and fetch quests. While there's a certain charm in exploring the iconic school and flicking your Wiimote to cast spells, the limited depth and wonky controls make this a mediocre adaptation rather than a truly magical adventure.
