Show all (5)Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

I was absolutely disappointed. I finally took the time to read the book (before the movie) and was shocked to see so many alterations to the storyline. Does J.K. Rowling have no say to how the movies are written? Where was Dumbledore’s funeral? The sixth book was awe-inspiring, gripping and significant; whereas the movie was a magnificent “disillusionment”. My friends who have not read the book told me they hated the movie because it was slow, disjointed and ended abruptly. I sincerely hope the Director’s excuse that the book was too big so they had to compress the story lines is not the case with the last book. Since they are breaking it into two movies, I hope this excellent series comes to the end that it rightly deserves.
Overly long and oddly flat, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" might try the patience of even the most ardent fan, not to mention the more casual moviegoer. (Full review)
