Review of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) by Filipeneto — 12 Feb 2018

The saga thickens up.

This film is the adaptation of the sixth book in the Harry Potter saga, written by JK Rowling and was directed by David Yates. Always betting on the continuity of its main cast, as well as in the ability of its studios when it comes to special effects and computerization, Yates manages to make a great movie. The script also becomes increasingly complex and dense. The loves and crossed romances will increasingly join the central plot, and that will help to thickens it and make the film more and more adult and mature, deeper and psychologically challenging. The actors will also gaining more and more experience and maturity and will raise their performance to ever higher levels.

This film is one of the first where the audience gets to see the other side of some characters. So far, everything was very black and white, there were good guys and bad guys. Now it will no longer be so, with some of the characters to show gray sides of their personalities. The photograph will accompany all these changes, becoming increasingly cold and dark.
