Review of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) by S M — 29 Nov 2012

Harry Potter Comes back to Hogwarts Academy for his 6th year, While in an advanced potions class he gets a text book that says property of the half blood prince. Harry tries to figure out who the half blood prince is as well discover more about the past of the dark Lord Voldemont who killed his family.

The Half-Blood Prince the 6th film in the Harry Potter series is another finely done film, with the special effects used primarily to enhance the world that Harry lives in rather than being done for the sake of just doing special effects. The subtlety that is used is what separates the Harry Potter films from the likes of Transformers and in a good way.

After 6 years this Harry Potter focuses more on teenage romance and relationships than the others which is a natural progression. The majority of the film is spent with Harry(Daniel Radcliffe) trying to befriend Professor Horrace Slughorn (Jim Boradbent) to find out more about Tom Riddle who later becomes Voldemont. As well as Hermionie (Emma Watson) pining over Ron Weasley (Rupert Gint). We also find Draco Malfoy (Tom Falton) being the chosen one by Voldemont in a plot to kill Professor Dumbledore (Michael Gambon).

The 6th installment of the Harry Potter franchise is highly entertaining with the only issue being that the Half-Blood Prince feels more like a transition movie leading into ?The Deathly Hollows? Than a film that stands alone on its own merits. Luckily the world of Hogwarts is more than enough though to make this worth watching.
