Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince



Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince
Director: David Yates
153 minutes

Puberty and adolescence are such tumultuous times. That's why in Harry's sixth outing, he's a more interesting character.

Much darker than any of the previous films, Half-Blood Prince in that regard because it stamps out any inclination that it was as kid-friendly as the first film. As it should be expected since if the same kid who watched the first film when s/he was six, s/he would be 12 by now and clamoring for more teen fare. Steve Kloves did a great job at picking the essence of the book and David Yates have to be commended for a great work at directing.

The entire cast is excellent, from the main to the bit players that have played their individual characters known all these years. Everything about the production is first rate - set designs, costumes, hair and makeup, special effects, VFX, editing, sound mixing and design.

The Potter saga is coming to an end. Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince is doing such a great job at setting it all up.
