Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

harry-potter-6-poster1.jpg

Harry Potter is back and more bad-ass than ever! In the sixth installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, face more danger than ever before in the corridors of Hogwarts, including a new enemy, hormones.

Its dark times in the wizarding world. People are disappearing from their beds at night, no one knows who to really trust anymore, and Death Eaters are running loose. Even muggles are starting to notice something is wrong when a perfectly fine bridge falls to pieces as if it were made of Popsicle sticks. And still, life goes on. This year, as Harry becomes more attuned with the other gender, we see friends fight and fall in love with each other. We notice Harry’s certain liking of someone close to him, and we find out the truely dark and twisted path the boy called Tom Riddle followed until his transformation into the most dark wizard of all time, Lord Voldemort.

Director David Yates (Director of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) truly received the best acting out of his three tremendously talented lead actors and finally gave the series time to slow down and allow the characters to mature more. He also sets up the mood for the final two movies (that's right, TWO more movies, although there is only one book to go) and gives the audience sense that soon, and I mean by next year November soon, all hell is going to break loose.

3 1/2 stars out of 4
