Harry Potter and his friends are back in this the sixth edition of the series. The young heroes from Hogwarts are out to stop the evil forces of Lord Voldemort as he slowly increases his grip on the Wizard world. In the movie version of the Penultimate book of the now legendary seven book series, Harry Potter is put face to face with the origins and younger years of Tom Riddle and for the first watches as his deepest fears come true…
Its never fair to compare the movie to the book it was based on, but the Half blood prince succeeds where many others have failed in the past. In the 150 odd minutes of its running the director, David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves managed to capture the essence of the 400 page book, which was easily my most favorite of the series. Along the way they took the liberty to introduce comic sequences and short cuts in the original story to fit the movie within the limits of a movie.
