:D
The much awaited “Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince” has hit the theatres now , after a long wait of two years . Directed by “David Yates” , the sixth movie has received mixed responses so far .
Why should you go for HBP ?
Michael Gambon ( Dumbledore ) and Helena Carter ( Bellatrix ) really acted well . Alan Rickman was just awesome as Severus Snape .
All the scenes depicting the dark forces were awesome . The starting of the movie itself , with Death Eaters on the path of destruction was a perfect beginning . The dark part is really well directed and you will enjoy that thoroughly .
Quidditch is back with this movie . Although it focussed more on Ron-Hermione relationship than the extraordinary broomstick skills that we have witnessed so far .
The movie deals well with the emotional part . Harry’s reaction on seeing the dead body of Dumbledore can get your tears involved .
Yates took care of the comic part really well . Throughout the movie someone ( usually Ron ) will be there to tickle your funny bone .
Emma Watson , as usual , is looking gorgeous in the movie .
The Warner Brothers logo coming from between the clouds with HP theme playing in the background is magnificent . lol 
Why should you not watch the movie ???
Not meeting the expectations : Now come on , I know its not fair to compare books to movies , the former is always better . But still , the movie is pretty ordinary ( No offence to Prisoner of Azkaban and Order of Phoenix )
The Burrow Scene : Where did it come from ??? Lupin and Tonks unable to cross the fire and there goes Potter behind Bella followed by Ginny ( fire did not seem to perturb them ) . The power of love I assume .
Horcrux vs Love Potion : You won’t believe this . But Ron and Lavendar’s snogging scenes have somehow dugg up more space than the horcruxes . No description of what the Voldemort’s horcruxes were . No description of how Dumbledore happens to find the cave ( he had an intuition I believe ) . And minimal description of “Half Blood Prince” . The director was more interested in Love Potion rather than the Horcruxes .
Loose Script : It was just like filling the things in . Inspite of building up to something , Yates tried to implement as many things from the book as possible . He really messed up the end , giving it a totally new look .
Where was Voldemort : I really missed Voldemort . I guess I saw him for a millisecond or so . Further , Tom Riddle from Chamber of Secrets was far better than this one .
P.S. Personally , I didn’t liked the movie very much . I had pretty high expectations with the movie , after all the positive reviews and being rated 8.3 by IMDB . Go , watch it and decide for yourself . Who knows ??? You might just happen to like this one .

nice review bro…………yeah i agree with each and every point mentioned……
half blood prince is mentioned in only a few instances ………..and abt the horcruxes yaeh…..no one would understand it if they didn’t care to read the books…..
this time yates concentrated more on the effects and the entertaining “teenage fun love ” part of it…..but yet it wasn’t tht bad gud to see for ppl who have read the book………it is fun…..and must watch…….slughorn’s expression is the best he he esp in the hospital……lol…..ron awesome too
thnks for the review

My views exactly. There was no excitement and the climax was dull.

I sort of liked the movie. Maybe twas more because I watched it with my friends! Had I watched it alone, all by myself, maybe I would have been more judgmental.
I really liked the Harry and Hermione seen in the first half [with birds over her head]. I thought Tom Felton acted very sophisticated in it! [totally awesome]
You are very right about the Horcrux part. The movie had very little explanation in terms of the main plot..

Hey. I just wanted to know that how did you put the tags in such a creative form (On your sidebar!).
So, I though it would not be unkind to ask it on the latest post itself.
Btw, Harry Potter 6 is really good.

I didn’t like the movie either. It left lot to be desire. It was a mere prelude to HP 7.

when did u go wrong about reviews?? Totally agree.. only that I felt harry himself had given more humor than ron. Especially after taking felix potion. But yes surely, Voldy should be more in the pic.. at least one more scene that he had taken the Cup! Bill and Fleur wasn’t there either.
But all the same watched it twice lol
