Adolescent wizard-in-training Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts for another year of schooling and learns more about the dark past of the boy who grew up to become Lord Voldemort in this, the sixth installment of the film series that originated from the writings of author J.K. Rowling. There was a time when Hogwarts was thought of as a safe haven, but thanks to Voldemort's tightening grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds, that simply isn't the case anymore. Suspecting that the castle may even harbor an outright threat, Harry finds his investigation into the matter sidelined by Dumbledore's attempts to prepare him for the monumental battle looming ever closer on the horizon. In order to discover the key to Voldemort's defenses, Dumbledore enlists the aid of resourceful yet unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, who may have a clue as to their enemy's Achilles' heel. Meanwhile, teenage hormones cause the students at Hogwarts to lose focus on their true mission. As Harry and Dean Thomas clash for the affections of the lovely Ginny, Romilda Vane attempts to woo Ron away from Lavender Brown with some particularly tasty chocolates. Even Hermione isn't immune from the love bug, though she tries her hardest to suppress her growing jealousy and keep her emotions bottled up. But there is one student who remains completely aloof from the romance blossoming all around, and he intends to leave a dark impression on his classmates. With tragedy looming ever closer, it begins to appear as if peace will prove elusive in Hogwarts for some time to come. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    The strength of the movie is the acting and its look. It has a very atmospheric feeling about it and excellent special effects as it pulls you into its dark world. Its weakness is that it feels like a brief episode in a long evolving epic adventure. Not much seems to happen, so the question remains as to whether it deserved to be a separate movie or could have been incorporated into the next one. A problem for those who have not read the books is that the motivations of the characters are often not clearly drawn out.

    They took the time to do plot and character development, which means less action. There waas good acting and special effects. A very enjoyable movie overall.

    It was interesting in the fact she (Rowling) kept you in the dark as to who the Half Blood Prince is until the end of the movie!! Lots of good Special Effects!!
