Synopsis

As Lord Voldemort tightens his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds, Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven. Harry suspects perils may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemorts defenses and to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Even as the decisive showdown looms, romance blossoms for Harry, Ron, Hermione and their classmates. Love is in the air, but danger lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
robertsrebecca-76703 The sixth installment in the incredibly popular wizard series carries on the tradition of following the books. The half-blood prince probably won't bring with it the expectations that came with the Philosopher's stone but then it is expected to be lower key as the franchise comes to a closure- there remains just one more book after this (deathly hollows). However, this film is darker in tone and should be headed for more mature territory just like the series.
Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince (2009)' manages to keep the focus mostly on Hogwarts, giving Harry a mission to accomplish whilst also dedicating significant time to his friends and their teenage troubles, as well as always delivering on the promise of an unseen threat looming close by. Indeed, it's perhaps the darkest in the series so far. This bleak tone is bolstered by a ballsy ending that provides little in the way of levity or triumph. It balances its darkness with some lighter moments peppered throughout that satisfy without overdoing it. The flick is perhaps the most unconventional of the bunch, taking things back to basics with school-life front and centre, and this approach actually pays off while providing a nice counter-point to the two films that follow. 7/10
OneEightNine Media Hp6I just finished watching all the Harry Potter films back to back to back to back. What a crazy trip. Before starting this review, here is my ranking, from best to worst:HP4 > HP8 > HP1 > HP6 > HP7 > HP2 > HP3 > HP5What helps put this film ahead of some of the other films is Alan Rickman's performance.
snperera This is my favorite because we get to explore the relationships of all the actors more in this story and (spoiler) Hermione and Ron show more feelings to each other. I like that we get to see Harry use liquid luck potion, I love the addition of Professor Slughorn. Spoiler Warning: I also love that we get to see more of Voldemort's back story and see him become the person he is today. This is a dark film but there are also very heartfelt and sweet moments as well. You get to see Dumbledore and Harry's relationship grow as well. There are some funny parts in the movie as well. Overall, I would say this movie has great acting, great heart and the ending is so great and powerful! :)
