Harry's fancying Ginny and Ron's troubles between Lavender and Hermione round out the film. The sub-plots surrounding this are delightful. This enhances the idea posited back in the 2nd film and book. Dumbledore actively wants Harry to act more like Tom in an attempt to defeat him. What interested me most about the way this is played out are the quiet similarities presented between Harry and Tom Riddle. To do this, Harry has to get close to Professor Slughorn (played with aplomb by Jim Broadbent). In the sixth Harry Potter, Harry works with Dumbledore to unlock a key secret about Voldemort.
David Yates continues from where he left Order of the Phoenix, arguably the weakest of the seven books but one of the stronger films. I have enjoyed all of the films to varying degrees all for different reasons. For some they are too long, for some not enough. I have never experienced the films without having read the books first so I cannot comment on how hard it is to follow any of them. Everyone has their favorites, or hates the films in general. Some people read the books, some haven't. Everyone comes from different points of view when they go in to see these films. If you peruse enough of them, you'll notice that "lack of nit-picks" is a substitute for praise. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - A footnote: Funny thing about Harry Potter reviews. I didn't know there were 8 years at hogwarts. Well heres to 2010 to see how they screw up the finale. But as a HARRY POTTER movie it gets 4 out of 10. Overall as a movie i'd give it an 8 out of 10. If you've read the novel then you know the subject matter is MUCH darker and the story would have been done greater justice with just a higher rating(and a better screenwriter, yes i'm looking at you Steve Kloves). The ending is extremely anti-climactic and once it's over it'll leave you in your seat thinking "it's over?" My final gripe with this movie is that it really should have been PG-13. So much time could have been detracted from the silly romances to focus on more important things which were completely ommitted or deliberately changed. Not to mention the ending of the film was brutally butchered.
In the movie the romance takes up most of the screen time. The romance was there although it didn't detract from the main plot and at times was intertwined with the larger goings-on at hogwarts. JK Rowling masterfully crafted a novel that was perfectly balanced. Yes, there is romance in the sixth book but not shoved down your throat. Everything that made the book amazing was ripped from the film, and instead replaced by annoying large quantities of romantic subplot. As a fan of the books and having had no SERIOUS gripes with any of the other films, I must say i HATED the screenplay for this one. But the key element which was boosted this franchise into world-class fame, is the story. This installment obviously stepped everything up a notch: the cinematography, the special effects, the darker score, the improved acting, etc. And only because there are so many parts to a film. It stands it's ground as a film better than any of the others of the series. Half Blood Prince as a movie alone was very good.
