There are still some witty moments and harrowing visuals, but this film feels like more of a set-up piece to the final installment that follows. The film moves along at a slow and expositionary pace and dwells far too much on weepy melodrama than on the inventive magic of the first films. |

Dumbledore visits professor Horace Slughorn to influence him to teach again. Albus has plans to get the correct memories of Horace with the aid of Harry. To defeat Voldemort, Harry needs to acquire the memory. These were the significant scenes of the film. The snail pace story about the feelings of Hermione for Ron and Ginny with Harry was okay. It had a few funny moments and very dark mood since the murder of Dumbledore. Rickman and Carter were really good; overall it wasn’t that satisfying though. Compared to the rest, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was not as fascinating except for the vital revelations in the near conclusion.

This is another great addition to the Harry Potter series! The acting has improved considerably and the film itself is much darker than the other movies. |

Harry Potter and the Super-Nap |

You know, wizards and Voldemort and shit. I have very mixed feelings on the HP movie series. I thought 1 and 2 were cute kid films, 3 was genius, 4 was dull, and 5 was genius. I had high expectations for the sixth movie because it was directed by Yates, who directed the 5th movie. Let me just say, I was VERY disappointed.
Maybe it's because I get as excited for the new movie to come out as I did on Christmas morning when I was a kid (or, still do). Maybe it's because as soon as the theme song starts playing, I can hardly stay in my chair. Maybe it's because I miss the books so much that the movies are all I have left? In any case, I was so sad when I found that a half hour into HP and the Half-Blood Prince that this may be the worst film in the series.
It focused on the trivial stu... |

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Review |
|
I've heard that there's a bit of a conflict between the viewers, some say this is the best Harry Potter film yet, some say they were disappointed. I personally, am under the first group. Unless you can't fathom where this movie's existence came from, it's based on the sixth book in the Harry Potter book franchise. David Yates' directing makes cuts from the book, but manages to keep the more important parts in. The end result is a very emotional and dark adaptation, much like the book itself. This is what I like about these series, they gradually become darker, and more grounded in reality, and it shows the characters being able to deal with the situation. Another thing I liked was that Michael Gambon has gotten quite better as Dumbeldore since Prisoner of Azkaban. He's only going to be ab... |

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince |

I like the Harry Potter films, and I love the books. The 1st and 2nd movies were fun family affairs, the 3rd and best was a kids film with great visuals and an intelligence the first movies did not have. The 4th was an epic but wasn't exciting enough, and the 5th was a better movie than the book. Now the 6th, and possibly the least exciting book in the series sadly translates into the least exciting of the films. Its okay, its nice, and the actors are growing both physically and with their talent but its all sort of one note being played for 2 and a half hours. I'm incredibly disappointed with the ending as it was the best section of the book which they somehow botched making the movie. Here's hoping the final two films pick up the momentum. |

It wasn't annoying, maybe they're just making the movie better than the previous sequel. But it's worth waiting. It was fun to watch. Lots of comedy and romance plus the jealous factor of Hermione to Ron Weasley's I-forgot-the-name-who girl. It was also mixed with drama in the end when Dumbledore died after the Half-Blood Prince (Snape) casts the spell "Avada Kedavra". That was a very sad ending yet the whole movie was great! I love it so much! dress up games |

I agree, the movie does beg to be released in the summer. I'm anxious but not necessarily annoyed. I've seen all the movies and read all the books. I have high hopes for this movie even though I cannot stand how Gambon plays Dumbledore. Maybe he'll take this final chance he has to make things right. |

Well of course they're releasing it when they can make more money. Most movies are made for commercial profit.
I'm not that annoyed by it. The storyline plays more like a summer film anyway. It's a pretty dark movie to release around the holidays. Plus, it just means the wait between this one and first installment of the last movie is shorter. |

I am also annoyed by the delay of the movie. I heard that the studio delayed it so they could make more money by releasing it in the summer, when kids are out of school.
I have read all of the books and seen all of the movies, but the books are much better (isn't that usually the case?). I do love the movies though.
I am hoping the next movie does the last book justice since it was really good. I did hear that they may make the last book into two movies since the book is really long. We'll see. |
