Well Harry and his friends are at it again and this time the dark forces are more prevalent than ever. The evil Lord Voldemort is building his forces by recruiting some unlikely foes in attempts to infilitrate the grounds of Hogwarts and destroy all hope for the triumph of good. In this episode Harry uses a potions book that was previously held by the Half Blood Prince which allows him to excel in his most dreaded subject gain acceptance his new teacher's, Professor Slughorn, inner circle. This relationship is critical to the plot of the story because of Slughorn's past relationship with Tom Riddle, better known as Lord Voldemort, and how he may have impacted the Dark Lord's success towards immortality. There are also blossoming relationships that are being developed between a few central characters which will segue into the final chapter of the Harry Potter saga and beyond. Hold your breath because you will witness the loss of a main character (may be good or bad) at the end of Prince...
This movie is a success on many fronts. The visuals are wonderful (with the backing of a $250 million budget) and Potter newcomer, Professor Slughorn, played by veteran Jim Broadbent, stole every scene he was in. This film kept me interested throughout but was not in the same league as the book. They did not satisfactorily link the importance of the Half Blood Prince to the plot of the story and the relationships between the main characters became annoying and overbearing towards the end. However, this is by far the best Potter film of all, and my favorite book in the series. Even though there were a couple weaknesses this film definitely earns an A.
