December 27, 2009I'm really not much of a fan of the Harry Potter series, but yet I still watch all these films. I don't have much to say because I'm not into it and I just don't get the whole kid/wizardry appeal. But I'm going to keep an open mind... These films are getting made better ...( read more)

December 26, 2009When I saw this at the theatre, I didn't like or understand much of this movie. I found it too dark and incomprehensible without the fun and magic of the previous Potter entries.
Re-watching it on DVD in the comfort of my home, I have gained a new appreciation of this movie as a...( read more) -
December 25, 2009Very visually stunning - even moreso than the others - but it's incredibly long and actually quite boring. Then again, it has to be. The final two movies are set up to be deathfests and romance blossoms between characters, so this film really had to be the first Star Wars film in...( read more)

December 21, 2009Update: 12/21/09: Wow, talk about some serious rewriting. But after the first five installments, this should come as no surprise. My biggest problem still remains, however. To harp on it one more time, the death of Richard Harris after CoS was the biggest blow to the w...( read more)

December 13, 2009Decent addition to the harry potter franchise but beginning to get a bit long in the tooth. Good thing this will be wrapping up soon.

December 27, 2009Well... if I didn't have the utmost respect for the books I would probably have fallen asleep during the movie. It isn't bad, actually it's close enough to the book (which is probably the worst of the saga, except for the final chapters) and I did enjoy the small detour the movie...( read more)

Dear me, what a dull fight this has become. At points in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince I feared slipping into a persistent vegetative state. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
Astoundingly unimaginative, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ruins the idea of popular entertainment. full review
July 15, 2009
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
The Half-Blood Prince is a beautifully paced feat of filmmaking, one that navigates potentially choppy shifts in scale with grace and ease. full review
July 14, 2009
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Harry is better than ever, a triumph of visual wonder and emotional storytelling. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Unlike most film series, the Potter movies haven't weakened along the way. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
As its 2-½ hours came to a close, I was happy to be reminded that we aren't yet done with Hogwarts, and that there's much pleasure in a story slowly told. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
The experienced team behind the Harry Potter movie series is comfortably in the groove with the sixth film, which plays down the fantastic elements and introduces contrasting playful teenaged romance ... full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Half-Blood Prince is a bubbling cauldron of hormonal angst, rife with romance and heartbreak, jealousy and longing. full review
July 13, 2009
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
So many actors shine in so many ways: Carter hisses deliciously, Broadbent sucks up beautifully. Watson shudders with frustration and heartbreak, Felton shudders with anger and fear. full review

I was surprised in a very good way when I watched this movie because in most of the cases the film is not so good as the book. This one is better then the book. Congrats.

November 24, 2009I loved this one the best, because Severus was most in it.
I enjoyed the previous 5 as well. -

September 4, 2009Harry Potter of the best movies ever made and I follow it since I was young, one of the great films and Part VI I liked a lot

August 30, 2009Wow...it's like the sole purpose of this movie is to tell you
"hey they hit puberty"
"hey, there's gonna be another movie"
"voldimort isn't dead yet"
That's...it...I remember the previews mentioning a "new magic" ? Or something... To call this movie flat and boring give it too much, there is NOTHING in this movie!
"The half blood prince" title makes you wonder, who is he? Where did he come from? What part does he play? What powers will he have? What is he a half blood of?
Guess what...nothing is told...in a dull fight scene where harry is overpowered by an older more experienced wizards (what else would happen) the guys just blurts out "I am the half blood prince"...and that's it.
There is NOTHING to this movie, it was beyond lame! -
August 29, 2009i saw the film in england,and maybe because i was home there i loved it,of course being in England and seeing an english film captivates the mind,i am ever mindful of the magic and mysticism of old england that i explore with my son like york ,and Wales we spent the week in Wales literally looking at witches and fairies in the shops,very Celtic,and one can then see all the stories and magic of the books and the movie,i got the impression that the movie is leading us on through the teenage and then grown up. part of childhood ending, and really seeing love and other people in depth like one does as you grow up ,all smooshed in with magic and hurt of loosing a loved one....and we all experience painful things as we grow older and realize that death is the end of a person the final chapter of the elders,but the begining of ones adulthood,it makes it'S point not done yet,for who will be Harrys first love?(Ginny)?and Ron can't quite see Hermoine yet swooning over him,ah ''teen love!! yeah?

I really enjoyed this film. It's a while since I read the book so the ramping up of the romantic storylines came as a bit of a surprise. The unfortunate event still got me thinking. Looking forward to the next instalments - meanwhile I think I'll read the books again!!!
