Half-Blood Prince coloring
We'll be going from 
to 
Involves curves, color balance, and selective coloring. I use Photoshop CS3.
Other results:
Get your base, crop, sharpen, whatever. I duplicated mine and set the top layer to soft light at 100%. If your image is too dark, I would recommend doing a screen layer, as this coloring works best with lighter bases.
Step one: New color fill layer - #f7adc2 set to color burn 50%
Step two: New color fill layer - #1b0b01 set to exclusion 100%
Step three: New adjustment layer - Curves
RGB: I 137
O 146
Red: I 169
O 164
Blue: I 68
O 64
Step four: New adjustment layer - Color Balance
Midtones: +6,+13,-13
Shadows: -16,+4,+35
Highlights: +12,0,-2
Step five: New adjustment layer - Selective Coloring
Red: -100,0,+100,0
Yellow: -100,0,-100,0
Cyan: +100,0,+100,0
Blue: +100,0,-100,0
Neutral: +18,+10,+17,-7
Step six: New color fill layer - #00101e set to exclusion 100%
