The sixth installment of the Harry Potter franchise “Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince” finally premiered this past Wednesday July 15,2009. I went ,and checked out the movie today July 18,2009. For me, the movie was ok. I’ve certainly seen a lot more action in previous Harry Potter flicks. This one was more about Harry and Dumbledore trying to find out the secrets of Voldemort’s powers,and how he is able to keep on living.
A brief plot of the film reveals that Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is reunited with his best friends Ron Weasely (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). They return to the Hogwarts School of Magic. Harry discovers that Draco Malfoy is chosen by the Dark one to kill Dumbledore,and that Professor Severus Snape has taken the unbreakable vow to protect him in his goal or die as a consequence.
Ron Weasely finds love in not one,but two girls.Harry spends most of his time trying pull a secret memory from one of his Professors named Horace Slughorn who’s afraid to reveal it because he’s ashamed of what it reveals.However, in the end Harry is able to find a magical way to get the secret from Slughorn,and attempt to go about the difficult task of ridding Voldemort from the Earth.
Unfortunately,this task proved to be more difficult than just finding out Voldemort’s secret which left off with Harry making plans for the next film, “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows.”
I liked the movie. It was ok.I don’t think it was the best Harry Potter film that I’ve seen.I thought the movie trailers for the film were a bit misleading. They definitely bunched all those special effects scenes together to make it seem like more than what the actual film is.
The film was mostly filled with dialogue, albeit interesting dialogue, so I was never board during the film. Actually the special effects were evenly distributed throughout the film,but the movie trailers just make it seem like there’s more. The movie did a good job of slowly revealing the secrets of some of the characters,making it intriguing.
The action and special effects scenes picked up more towards the end leaving me wanting more. So I do look forward to the next “Harry Potter” installment.
