Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is Only Half There, but It's the Good Half

After two years of waiting, I have finally seen the latest installment in the Harry Potter series, and it is good. I mean, really good. I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat. And considering that it was only rated PG, rather than PG-13 like the last two, there was still plenty of gore and violence and scary stuff. There's also a lot of snogging (British for making out), because, in case you weren't aware, this chapter of the Potter saga is all about sex.

Who snogs who? Who doesn't snog should be the question! ...Actually, a lot of people don't snog. Dumbledore doesn't snog anybody, thereby leaving the whole "Is he gay?" question unanswered. Nor does Hagrid, or Professor McGonagall. But Ron snogs his new girlfriend Lavender Brown like crazy for a while, and thinks about snogging another girl when he gets walloped with a love potion. Ron's sister Ginny snogs her boyfriend Dean Thomas in a bar, then snogs Harry when she realizes he's finally into her. Hermione snogs nobody, although she does get sloshed on butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks at one point, and she actually eats dragon balls in order to avoid snogging her douchetastic party date at one point. As Draco goes about his evil business, random students snog in the hallway. And Harry almost snogs a hot afro'ed waitress at a coffee shop in one of the film's opening scenes, but Dumbledore shows up like a total cockblock and makes Harry hold his hand.

It's not what you think -- he's Apparating the two of them, because he wants Harry to help him recruit a new Potions professor, Horace Slughorn, played brilliantly by Jim Broadbent. It's times like this when I thank God -- or, rather, J.K. Rowling, for insisting that all of the roles be played by Brits. Not only does it make the whole movie more authentic, it also guarantees us some top-notch talent. I'm not sure what it is that makes British actors so much better than their American counterparts -- it can't be the accents, because Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith can knock me down simply by raising an eyebrow. Smith doesn't have much to do in this installment, but Rickman kills it, playing the double agent (or is he a triple agent?) Professor Snape in his opening scene with Mrs. Malfoy and her sister Ms. LeStrange (the deliciously evil Helena Bonham Carter), and continuing his icy-but-hilarious put-downs of Harry until the very end, when they suddenly stop being funny.

And the film is funny -- besides the scene-stealing Snape, Lavender Brown (Jessie Cave) is hysterical in her heavily telegraphed longing for Ron, which escalates to a fever pitch. Ron gets funny at Quidditch goalie tryouts, clinging tenaciously to his broom and stopping most shots with his head, and he only gets funnier when he becomes the king of the rings we never saw in the last film. His smackdowns and roars of victory are so incredibly over-the-top that by the time he passionately makes out with Lavender at the victory party, we can only sit back and laugh, despite how much it hurts Hermione. Even the normally self-pitying Harry gets to bring the funny, when he downs a vial of Felix Felicis and struts around campus with a self-confident air. His punchy reaction to Slughorn's scoldings and Hagrid's mourning (over a dead acromantula) is a window to a Daniel Radcliffe we've never really seen in the Potter series, and I want to see more. Sadly, the next two films don't bode well for comedy.

Because if this movie was dark, the next two are even darker. And this movie was dark in spots. The Death Eaters destroying bridges and dragging Olivander out of his wand shop with a bag over his head hammers home that they're terrorists, and Voldemort is some kind of unseen Osama Bin Laden. (Look for him in this film -- outside of flashbacks, you won't find him.) Dumbledore weeping as Harry force-feeds him a weakening potion is painful to watch, and I'm surprised the Inferii, which are pretty much zombies, made the cut of a PG film. I guess not calling them zombies goes a long way. Also, the movie would have suffered without them, because otherwise there wouldn't really have been a climactic action scene to this film.

Which brings me to the only negative for this movie: The usual culling of material from the book. One of the most interesting scenes in the book, for me, was the Minister of Magic's meeting with the Prime Minister of England. It was the only official contact between the two worlds ever described, and the scene had them discussing several recent Muggle disasters, all of which were actually caused by Death Eaters. It also introduced the new Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, who replaced Cornelius Fudge. That scene no longer exists. Scrimgeour does not appear, and the events are shown, rather than discussed -- a logical change in the translation from book to movie, I suppose. There's also plenty of condensing of scenes, which is understandable, but there's also an inexplicable scene added in which the Burrow is consumed by fire, an event that doesn't happen in the books and might affect future movie events. (Or not, most likely.)

The addition of this scene is odd, given that they manage to lose a scene I thought unloseable, and I'm still not sure if it's for the better. I'll try not to be spoilery, but rest assured that the major event from the end of the book is still there. It's an emotional moment, though, and not an action scene. The action that surrounds that event? Gone. Maybe they thought it would seem too similar to the end of the last movie, or, more likely, to the end of the seventh book (something I actually thought when I read it), but given that that scene is two movies and two and a half years away, it seems like a poor excuse.

Thanks in no small part to the loss of that scene, of all the movies, this one felt the most gutted, the most bare-bones. I'm not saying there aren't quiet moments, where the characters are alone with their emotions, but there are few of them, and, more than anything, this movie felt like it was just trying to cover the important points and get us to the next chapter. But then again, that's what we all want, isn't it? Unfortunately, we have a year and a half left to go, so I guess I'll have to enjoy this one for the time being. Shouldn't be too hard.

Did you see Half-Blood Prince? What did you think?

I agree with most of this review. I have to say that I missed the extensive character development that makes these books/stories so compelling. I also wonder that the absence of so many characters, like the Dursleys, had more to do with cutting back of expensive salaries for actors, rather than what was best or essential for a great movie.

Yeah, as just a movie-goer, this was a fanTASTic movie. But as a Potter fan, it made me sad to see them cut some scenes, like at the end, and completely throw things in that weren't even close to anything that happened in the book (ie, the burrow attack). What I didn't mind losing though was Harry's Draco obsession. I mean, he's still kind of obsessed in the movie, but in the book it's like PAGES of him obsessing over what he's doing, and it gets old.

***Possible spoilers***

I am curious how the next movie will go. I thought it was sort of important to the plot the whole Harry now owns 12 Grimmauld Place and how is that going to be affected in the next movie... What about Kreacher and the fact that he is now Harry's House-Elf? Maybe it was me, but Dumbledore death seemed so less significant without the whole funeral scene. Apparently, they are cutting out the Fleur/Bill union....hmph...I guess I get caught up in the details. I would be really happy if HBO did a miniseries for all the Harry Potter books I guess so all the smaller side stories that delight me so much can actually come to life on screen for me.
All that aside, I LOVED This movie! The best one yet!

Hilaire, I agree about a mini-series. There is more than enough material!

I missed the funeral scene, too.

Emma Watson is a fine, fine actor. Daniel Radcliffe was hilarious hopped up on Felix and even Rupert was more believable and less wooden than ever before!

I miss the whole Weasley family, though. MINI-SERIES!!!

I wasn't pleased with the Harry/Ginny relationship. I liked how it started in the book, with Harry kissing Ginny in front of everyone after they won a match...they kind of stole that and used it for Ron and Lavender instead. I like how Harry was the aggressor in the book after being so... weak when it came to girls. And they downplayed their relationship too much. It was kind of a major plot point in the book, and I don't think people who haven't read the book got the real sense of what Ginny REALLY means to Harry at this point, and will mean in the future.

I was really confused about that burrow scene myself. What was the point? Perhaps it helped show how Ginny feels about Harry, since she is the one that went running after him through the fire, and then him saving her from Fenrir later on.

Overall, best one of the series, but still there were things that could have been done better, IMO. There were just some things too important to brush over.

I thought that this movie was gorgeous in respect to the cinematography, and after watching it a second time, I could appreciate it more(Was very tired at the midnite show, so had to go watch it again today).I understand why it had to be condensed so much, because where the books describe things in detail, they had to convey these things in moments. I like dit very much, though i will always find the books so much better, but I do think they did a fabulaous job bringing some of the best parts to life.can not wait for the last 2!

I agree that it was a good movie but no one in this forum is touching upon the marvolo gaunt ring and helga hufflepuff cup memories that weren't in the book. This leaves a large problem to make up for in the seventh because harry doesn't know the cup is a horcrux. Same with nagini because dumbledore didn't tell harry nagini is a horcrux. This leaves a lot of guessing to be made in the seventh movie for harry. I thought it was a disappointment in that aspect.

honestly, I've been a potter fan for a while, read the books, and seen all the movies, and have to say that this was NOT one of my favorites. I felt that the movie was boring from minute 1, and from there always felt like the little movie that could. I honestly just felt like the movie tried to be exciting, and was building to a climax, but failed to deliver. There were some entertaining points, don't get me wrong. Quidditch, as always, was entertaining, but I think the character of Slughorn just slowed the pace of the film to a c r a w l.

As a movie, I thought this was great. Really well done, for the most part and parts of it were completely classic. However, as a Potter fan, I think they cut some things that were essential. I really didn't get the point of the added Burrow scene at all, although I always love a chance to see the creepiness that is Fenrir Greyback. The time and money spent on that scene should have gone toward making the climax of the movie actually *climactic*. It lost a lot in its being gutted from the original scene.

the burrow scene is frustrating me a little bit. mrs weasley hasnt much materials, and now she hasnt got ANYTHING. also lupin and tonks. they lovestory was too short. and the scene in the book, were dumbledore and harry were travelling through dumbledores memory to the past to morphin is lost. why?? i think, that this was a important scene. neiter the horcruxes was an relevant theme which, i think, was too short in the movie. ok, the scene with tom and slughorn was great, but dumbledore should take more to/with harry about horcruxes. harry dont know anything about the cup, for example. the good thing was "won won" and lavender. i was a little disappinted, that rons face wasnt scraped by the little birds, likes in the book. but it was nevertheles a good scene.
Overall, the half blood prince is my favourite movie in the series. have you recognize that in the WHOLE movie were no sunlight? if not, observed the sky the next time you watched it!

I liked the movie better than the book. Mostly because the Harry/Ginny romance was not really shown, which I absolutely hated in the book. So I was really glad that there was very little of that. The attack on the Burrow was also really random. I liked the movie, but it seems to have handicapped the last installments since it did not cover a lot of important material. All of that missing stuff is now going to have to somehow be divined in DH.

I don't remember where, but I read that they added the Burrow scene and the hooded Ollivander scene because they wanted to show our characters experiencing the terrorism instead of them hearing about it third hand in newspapers and from others like they do in the book. I was ok with the added scene, it was very like Harry to run out into darkness after an enemy he can't see, but I thought that the decision to have him "hide" on Dumbledore's orders instead of being immobilized under an invisibility cloak and have him actually listen and not try to do anything during the scene on the tower was not in his character at all. At all. And w/o a Bill and Fleur wedding how will the whole horcrux hunt be set up? I'm excited to see how they'll do that....overall it was a good movie, some of it was so funny I couldn't stop laughing and we haven't seen that, maybe ever, in this franchise.

Well, it was certainly a wait, but worth the wait? I'm still not sure. The fanatic side of me seems to be screaming against everything that I was waiting for- good scenes that sadly never made the cut. However, I think it's clear that from here on out, Yates has made sure that the movie and the book are two, different and completely individual entities that stand out on their own. We know that Yates can't pull off a 652 paged book in two and a half hours. But he could of at least gotten some crucial stuff right. The Half Blood Prince stuff didn't fit in at all, and the whole romantic scene was just repetitive. I did love the emphasis on Dumbledore and Harry's relationship though. The score, direction, acting, and cinematography were all brilliant, but the plot itself was just lagging in terms of the book...but like I said, this is a different movie.

It's of course, good in a way that we see some new, different style however. Daniel finally knows how to act, Rupert brilliantly performed his acts of comedy, and Broadbent and Emma did have their moments too. Alan Rickman was hilarious, and the guy who played Dumbledore (forgot his name) did a great job in the Cave.
The special effects were brilliant (I adored the introduction- very well done!) but all in all, the Half Blood Prince doesn't measure up to a fanatic like me, but does well to serve as a build up for the next two installments in the series (which I'm sure, will be a lot more action packed than this one) and as a romantic, last-time-to-act-like-teens-again movie for the heroes.

I am surprised that the funeral at the end (won't tell you who) was taken out. It was so visual in the book, it seemed meant to be put on screen. You would think JK would have more control over the movies...

I those the movie was fantastic, practically perfect in my book. And I went in knowing that some scene I was looking forward to seeing didn't make the cut.

I actually found the lack of the funeral scene to be a good thing. The event was emotional enough without it. I seriously had tears in my eyes even though I knew it was coming. It's simply the way it plays out. Even the death of Sirius in the last movie didn't get me teared up like this did. And with the scene that follows with the student converging in that one place, it felt like enough.

I read that will be starting the next movie with the funeral scene. I enjoyed the movie, I think Daniel Radcliffe has really come into his own as an actor. I missed some of the main characters The Weasleys, Hagrid, the Order of the Phoenix, and even Voldemort all were either bit players or none-existent. I thought the obvious overtures of good versus evil made this movie a stand alone.

I was little disappointed that the title is "and the Half-blood Prince" and they cut out most of the references to the same..we get 2 mentions and the outta nowhere revelation of who the 1/2 blood prince is..what happened to all the research the kids did trying to determine his identity? Were they going for a "Luke,I am your father" reveal?

I thought the film was great. I actually laughed out loud at parts, the romance aspect was handled well, and it just looked good. And I think Snape must have showered or something ^o^.

The Half-Blood Prince mystery didn't seem to be as important/big of a deal in the movie as in the book. There were scenes, especially in the latter part and end that I wished were longer. Not that they weren't satisfying; I just wanted more.

I've always been a Snape fan but this time Rickman has outdone himself. His final scenes made me sadder than even the non-funeral did. Also, props to whomever made his wig -- it's much better than usual.

I was also very impressed with Tom Felton for the anguish he showed as Draco, and with Yates for letting that part of the film breathe.

Also, I love Jim Broadbent and want to give him a hug.

However, as a helpless Ron/Hermione shipper I resent the fact that Ron continues to be written as dim-bulb comic relief who's Just Not That Into Hermione. And that Emma Watson's the only one to get any decent/important lines... I mean, what [i]on earth[/i] was going on in that last scene? Why was Ron even there??

"...this movie felt like it was just trying to cover the important points and get us to the next chapter."

See, that's exactly how I always described the book to people that hadn't read it. It felt rushed and choppy in a way that none of the other books did. So I can't really fault the filmmakers for that issue.

My biggest problem with the movie was honestly the off-hand way they dealt with the title subject. Hey, Harry has that book! Hey, that Half-blood Prince is a genius in potions! Hey, that spell Harry tested on Draco is EEEEVIIIIL!!! Hey, Snape just said he was the Half-blood Prince... what? If you haven't read the books, this is at best, stupid and annoying. If you HAVE read the books the affront is tenfold, because ITS IN THE TITLE! Obviously, it was more important to advancing the story.

The death scene was a disappointment, since so many death eaters saw Snape kill Dumbledore for instead of Draco, Snape in essence broke the unbreakable oath because as soon as the Dark Lord finds out Draco didn't do the deed, Voldemort is going to murder him the face, and Snape too, and the last movie doesn't happen. Those were the filmakers biggest errors, IMHO.

I agree with the comment about the scene where Harry hides under the floorboards just to watch his wandless mentor face off with a couple of death eaters. The book conveyed a sense of helplessness on harry's part, he was immobolised and invisible, forced to watch the whole scene without being able to do anything. He knew for sure Dumbledore was dead when he could move again, truly a tragic realisation that would have played out great onscreen. Having him hide (no matter what dumbledore said) seems cowardly and completely out of character. i don't mind some scene changes, but I draw the line at changing fundamental personality traits. He's in Gryffindor!

I had heard so many negative comments and read so many negative reviews before seeing this, that I expected it to be really bad. It wasn't! Were there important plot points left out? Yes! Was there a totally unnecessary scene (the Burrow burning) added that wasn't in the book? Yes! But, overall I liked this movie better than OOTP. It didn't seem as rushed as the last one. Also, I read all of these interviews with Emma Watson about the awkwardness of her "kiss" with Rupert Grint, and didn't see Ron and Hermione kiss in the film at all. Did I miss it? The kiss with Ginny was way too downplayed as well. A viewer that hasn't read the books is not going to understand from this film how important Ginny is to Harry based on this film. The "death" in the book left me sobbing, in the movie not enough build-up and tension for it to be moving to me. Also, as some have wisely noted here, Harry was deliberately immobilized by Dumbledore during that scene on top of the Astronomy Tower. He was completely helpless to prevent what happened. Having Harry free to help and say to Hermione "and I did nothing" is totally NOT in character with Harry. I can't believe that JK let that one go. Overall, though an enjoyable film if you don't expect too much from it.

Went to see it last night, and it just felt very anti-climactic. Throughout the whole movie it felt like we'd have this build up, and then everything would fall flat. While I have many problems with the movie (way over played the romantic relationships for one) I think I could have let all of that go IF they could have done justice to the flight of the Death Eaters, and the fight between Harry & Snape, which they did not. I can only hope that they do right by the seventh book.

For a Harry Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince review, the reader should already be familiar with the previous series because if not, you will be lost in the plot and unlikely to enjoy the film. Since it's about to release and be the biggest movie of the summer, a lot of people are looking for a Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince review. So far the consensus among the various Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince review pages is two hours of character development, with the last half hour being action packed. To some, it isn't worth payday loans and long lines. Still, the series is wildly popular, launching the careers of Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, and making JK Rowling very wealthy. (Spoiler – Dumbledore dies.) Many will lay down quick cash to see this new film, regardless of any negative Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince review.

Uhhh ... I'm a little confused. The next movie is the LAST movie, because it's the seventh one.

So why has the author of this review kept saying things like "the next two movies"?

Overall, I was really disappointed in this movie, even though I laughed a lot. Ron & Harry are the best of friends, but the movies have never really portrayed that. They've made their relationship awkward and forced, while Harry and Hermione share many close scenes together. It just doesn't make any sense.

Lauren, they are expanding book 7 into 2 movies: November 2010, and summer 2011...

For all of you worried about missing info, remember, they can finally take time to fill us in...they basically have 5 hours to tell us the story of Deathly Hallows, and since I HOPE they skip all the boring living in the tent the Harry and Hermione and (sometimes) Ron do, they can fill us in on Horcrux lore, funerals and weddings, Hallows, and all the adventures leading up to the final confrontations at Hogworts...

1/2 Blood Prince comments...Snape did look better (no greasy hair) and I feel the book AND the movie downplayed Snape's role in HBP way too much...Snape's revelation at the end seemed too downplayed, considering the fact that we've been wondering whether he is good or evil since quesy Quirrel tried to squash quick Harry during Quidditch.

I thought the film was wonderful. Yes, it left out a great deal of content that I loved and focused the plot on a story that is more universally accessible, but I thought the movie did a fantastic job of capturing the main idea and story thread that JKR set out for us in the book. The whole thing that I keep in mind when I see any of the Potter movies is that while the basic story might be the same in both the films and books, they have to be viewed as separate entities. Almost as if we are getting another version of Harry's story told through a different medium. Am I sad that Bill Weasley is entirely absent in the films? Scrimgouer's and Harry's tension over loyalty? The heartbreaking funeral scene? Yes, but in the end I have the books for that and can be quite content with the movie the way it is.

I loved the movie, but don't understand the low rating.In the UK it was rated PG13 (or 12A as we call it) and for good reason. There were some of the scariest, close to zombie creatures ever seen in kids’ films, along with a large amount of blood in the bathroom scene and a truly frightening cave scene. Why was the rating not changed in the US? Particularly as the media seems to picking up lots of things to find inappropriate about this film (ranging from the drinking to the scary moments)

I had a couple problems with the movie, don't get me wrong, I LOVED it, but there are a few things I totally disagreed with.

1. How could they leave out Bill and Fleur!? The wedding, Fenrir Greyback ripping apart Bills face... what are they going to DO for the seventh movie!?

2. Ron having no lines at the end was balls. Period.

3. Did anyone notice how there was no Tonks? There was no Tonks.

4. Or Lupin.

5. Um... why was the Burrow burned down again?

6. There was a chance for an AMAZING action fight scene at the end, and a chance to intro the Carrows- but it was left out. What a loss, if you ask me.

I could go on and on and on. But believe me, there's a Pro for every Con! All in all, I'm used to the movie treatment HP goes through, but I still cringe and gnash when they leave out my favorite details.

Sigh!

I'm happy to see that there are others who feel that HBP was missing some very important scenes that are needed to advance the plot in Book 7, most specifically the various excursions into the Pensieve with Dumbledore that reveal Tom Riddle's family and later his obsession with collecting souvenirs. Let's not forget how even as a young man he doesn't think twice about killing to achieve his purpose or for revenge. The conversations that Dumbledore had about the Horcruxes and which ones are still out there is crucial and unfortunately missing from the movie. Now that Dumbledore is dead, how is Harry supposed to know what horcruxes are still out there and where are they hidden?

Yet they put a scene about the burning of the Weasley House which is not even in the book and which does nothing to advance the plot. Besides, until Harry turns 17, the Burrow and the Dursley's house are supposed to be under some powerful enchantments to protect Harry and those living under it's roof. Here, I believe they deviated from Rowling's story.

Another disappointment was Dumbledore's death. JK Rowling wrote a tear-jerker. I couldn't stop sobbing. However, this water-downed version didn't produce a tear. Where was the fascinating fight sequence? Why did they have Harry hiding? That's so unlike his character. Harry normally runs blindly into trouble, here they have him acting cowardly.

The movie should have ended with Dumbledore's funeral. The way it ended was anti-climactic. I've heard they'll start the next movie with the funeral. It defeats the purpose. That funeral is tied to his death which occurred in HBP. Here's where it should have been shown.
