'Arry Potter conjures his hormones....

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

This is one of my favorite of the Potters. Granted there are major plot holes compared the the beloved book but if you figure that they have to get it in the 2 hour mark they did an excellent job. In addition I think it is ridiculous to assume that the film will just an acting out as if the book were a script. That is the problem with film adaptations and the modern audience. I mean personally I already took the time to read the 1000 page book so why would I pay 8-12 dollars to just watch a page by page reenactment.

I will agree that the big giant depressing event that takes place was underplayed in the film than in the book BUT if we give artistic license (as we should) to the script adaptor and the director then as a film itself alone it was a well played piece.

There was a brilliant mix of adolescent humor and hormones with the dark, magical world of HP. If you evaluate your ticket price for the film you saw then Half Blood Price was top notch. Forget Transformers this summer, this was your blockbuster for everyone. If you want to compare the text to the film then yes there are some issues. But I think you would have a hard time arguing that this is not the most entertaining, mature, fun, silly and visually stimulating.

In my opinion, best/my favorite Potter film yet. Brill.
