Harry Potter And The Half-blood Prince

Synopsis: Lord Voldermort is wreaking havoc throughout Britain as Harry Potter begins his sixth year at Hogwarts. The pressure to defeat the Dark Lord grows stronger in the young wizard. Using an old Potions Book which previously belonged to the 'Half-Blood Prince', Harry is able to increase his magical knowledge and prepare for battle. However, he must first help Dumbledore discover the secret to Voldermort's quest for immortality - the location of his Horcruxes. But the quest for the Horcruxes and the resulting battle at Hogwarts produce a tragic outcome - leading Harry to believe that he must head out on his own to conquer the Dark Lord. [Source: Yahoo!

The much anticipated harry potter movie is finally here! Continuing its dark undertone, this movie may not seem as good as the previous versions as there are not a lot of magic and battle scenes to be seen. On the contrary, this installment is more geared towards narrating to the viewers the events (past and present) that are building up to the final showdown between harry and Lord Voldermont in the final episode: Harry Potter and the deathly Hallows. A disappointment that I have of the movie is the leaving out of the battle scenes between the death eaters and the professors of Hogwarts at the time Professor Dumbledore was killed. This is probably the most exciting part of the whole series when I am reading the book. A pity indeed. Nevertheless, a pretty well done movie and I eagerly anticipated its final 2 installment.
