As a movie it's the most well crafted of the series. But as an adaptation of the book, it was by far the worst.

Let me say this. Half Blood Prince as a movie alone was very good. It stands it's ground as a film better than any of the others of the series. But only as a film. And only because there are so... Full review

Oh god. This movie butchered the magic of the book. I seriously wasn't sure if this was the same movie... Why didn't Dumbledore pick Harry up from the Dursleys and give them a piece of his mind? Where was the Slug... Full review

My favorite part of the novel Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince, which was probably my favorite novel in the series, was all of the subplots. We had the drama behind the Minister Magic and relations with the Muggle government. We... Full review

This segment of HP will disappoint all who read the novel. The Burrow burns down during x-mas break due to Bellatrix and Fenrir (who is never described as a werewolf) perhaps for the lack of action at the end of the... Full review

Oh gosh. This movie was seriously lacking. The obviously artificial lighting was so distracting, though I understand Yates was going for "dark." There was really hardly any magic in the movie, and maybe the producers and director jumped too fast on... Full review

I have been counting down the days since they moved this movie from its original release date. As the characters have grown older, the story line gets better, and I was hoping the same would go for the sixth movie. However,... Full review

Unless there's some wand action or a scene involving impending death, Radcliffe seems to sleepwalk through this only slightly thrilling thriller....penultimate instalment of the ridiculously successful franchise, but I think he's getting a bit bored with the Harry Potter phenomenon.....though it has its fair share of tragedy, it was never going to boast amazing action....Daniel Radcliffe is a bit older and a lot wiser in the sixth.... ...
