HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE
The story continues in this sixth movie based on the novel by
the same name. Likewise, the theme continues to grow darker still. At
this stage in the game, the kids ( kids? ) have become so accustomed to
each other, that the chemistry that the characters in the book have is
clearly reflected with how comfortable they are with each other. They
really act like they're close friends.
All that aside, for the most part they've managed to capture
the essence of the book and create a compelling dark story, but still
have time for a few laughs at their characters expense. There is a
little negative, but only from the standpoint of someone who has read
the book and is more about what was "cut" as in previous films. In the
book there is a lot more emphasis placed on the textbook Harry finds.
This focus takes a lot away from the building suspense as to who exactly
"The Half Blood Prince" is so that when you find out in the film, it's
sort of matter of fact.
Aside from that, proper pause was given for the big surprise in
the movie and it definitely left fans eager for the next one ( which has
been announced as being split in two ). Definitely one of the better
Potter films for those who like them.
