(Lindsay Pasch, 2009-10-11) Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is BY FAR the best movie yet!!! As with all the Potter movies, there's always the concern about how much damage they'll do to the story line, but they did a fantastic job! There was a perfect balance of funny with serious, which kept the movie from being too ridiculous or depressing. The audience spent a lot of the movie laughing at the antics of Harry and Ron (Ron on love potion and Harry on Felix Felicis were hilarious!). Dumbledore even has his funny moments in this film! The serious and scary parts were also remarkably well done. At one point, you could visibly see the entire theatre jump when something scary happened. I've heard some people say the end was a tad abrupt, but in my opinion, so was the book. They left out some things, but as with all the movies, they were rather unimportant to the overall plot of the series. I liked the opening, and how it helped to bring in the events of the previous film. All of the actors did a brilliant job, and I'm really looking forward to the quality of the final film. Half Blood Prince can definitely go down as my favorite of all the movies so far (A feat that hasn't been achieved since the first movie came out). A must see!
(V. Muller, 2009-10-08) this film was well made. enjoyed it from beginning to end. the opening chase was as if I were actually there traveling through the village with tremendous velocity . well done to the actors who truly carry out the roles given them. I have enjoyed each and every Harry Potter movie. Professor McGonagle, Snape and Ron are my favorites. in the past their dry wit lends to the movies' comical side. anticpating the release of this movie in Video format
(Jfudyke, 2009-10-06) For the die hard fans of the books, I would not suggest watching this movie at all. There are very few scenes in the movie that stay true to the book. Along with poor acting on some parts, and whimsical thrown in scenes, this is by far the worst Harry Potter movie to date. If you choose to watch it, simply because you are a die hard fan, then be prepared to be greatly disappointed to find your heroes thrown out of their classic telling as we know and love them and into motion pictures version of them.
(A. M. Bradley, 2009-09-26) This is probably the best Harry Potter movie that has been made so far. Even at the beginning of the movie, I was impressed with the graphics and flow. Having read the series, I felt that some of the previous installations did not properly convey the storyline the way that this one did making it very easy to follow for someone who has not read the books. In general, I found the movie thrilling and suspenseful, the characters easy to care for and an overall success. There were a few points left out which is forgivable due to time constraints as it is already quite a long movie. The only thing that I would have changed is that about half way through the movie, there is a strange scene that was an addition from the book. I won't go into detail as I don't want to ruin it but it seemed unnecessary and also could prevent important events from occurring (or at the very least change them) in the movies to follow. All in all, it's definitely worth watching for even the most casual of HP fans.
(Margaret Lake, 2009-09-25) First, the flaws. The waitress scene in the beginning was unnecessary and took away from other elements that should have been included. More time at the joke shop would have been good. The fire at The Burrow was well done, and added another dimension to the movie. However, the only inkling we got of the relationship between Lupin and Tonks was her calling him sweetheart just before the attack. Very jarring, even for those of us who knew they were a couple. There were a lot of scenes that were very well done, but what made the movie for me was Dumbledore. Michael Gambon finally got the character right and just in time. His interpretation of our beloved headmaster in the previous movies left me cold, and I was concerned that I wouldn't care about the character's final fate. Not so. Those final scenes were everything I could have wished.
