Well At last! An enjoyable film that appeals to adults, adolescents as well as children. With more than just a nod to LOTR, it successfully combines a dark, grim, questing and fearful atmosphere that captures the attention and the empathy of the audience in a way other HP films may have failed to before. What I also liked about this film was its far less clumsy understanding of the changing nature of self (especially as one grows up at school). Emotional problems are less obviously signposted and less easily resolved. This was, in other words, more realistic, joined-up and intuitive.
Ultimately, the 2 new characters (the macabre professor and the, dizzy yet frankly strange student) were marvellous for their idiosyncracies and the additions their characters brought to the plot. Speaking of which, the usual HP plot was there. A conspiracy, a quest, a tragedy and a triumph with a smattering of barely suppressed romance and adult-child relations thrown in for good measure. HP fans will not be disappointed and doublely so because the younger ones will have gronw up with this genre now and be demanding more than just quidditch fun and games.

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince has smashed U.S. box office records by raking in £14.8 million in less than 24 hours on Wednesday (15Jul09) to score the best midnight opening gross of all time. The sixth movie in the boy wizard franchise easily topped The Dark Knight's midnight opening earnings of £12 million when it was released last summer (08), and the £11.3 million grossed by Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith in 2005. The latest installment, which stars... Read more
