The sixth installment of Harry Potter: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was…Great!

We just got back from seeing the sixth movie in the Harry Potter series and I do believe it lived up to expectations.  Although, this film was different from the previous Potter films, in that it led the way to what will be that very last movies ( the 7th book will be divided into two separate films but will be filmed as Lord of the Rings was back to back).  It felt more like a transitional film such as The Two Towers, leading us into an opening for the final ending.

As we have grown up, J.K Rowling’s characters in Harry Potter have also grown and both book and film have become darker with each new beginning.  The Half Blood Prince was no different and I wasn’t disappointed to sit through an even darker film yet.  It had some really beautiful visual affects that are worth sitting through in themselves.  This film had less action and more time for the actors to finally display their true acting skills.  And what good little actors they have become!  I was thoroughly impressed, especially with Emma Watson and Rupert Grint’s performances.  They have grown into their acting shoes and really pulled off some fantastic acts.  Oh, and what it is to see the hormones flying around as both cast and written characters are now that age.  Daniel Radcliff felt the same to me as in every other film…nothing too terrible, nothing too mind blowing.  Maybe he just only does fabulous work in the nude (Equus)???  I dunno, but overall I liked this movie and I’d give it three and one half diamonds if I could actually put half diamonds on here…
