One of the Summer’s Best Blockbusters, 10 July, 2009
Author:Vince27 from Canada
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth movie in the Harry Potter series, and it is the greatest one yet.The movie mixes comedy, romance, drama, and adventures into one, and makes it so marvelous and fun to watch.The acting in this film is more mature and better in quality than in the earlier ones.The trio, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Daniel Radcliffe are amazing in their roles and pull them off well.David Yates gives his best directing in his career to date, and does an amazing job of telling the storyline of J.K.Rowling’s fantastic book.The visual effects are so well done and look so real.Although the movie has cut out many things in the book, it is still a great film that most people will enjoy!
Key Points Missing! 12 July, 2009

If you love the series like I do you will know that in every movie they have to cut parts of the book out.For those that have not read the book this movie will impress.I understand the need to cut the movie in order to fit it into a realistic time frame.In doing so, it seems as if they cut key parts in order to allow for more comedy.They also cut out a large action scene at the end of the movie.Another problem is, although there is not as much violence as previous movies the overall film includes adult content that in my opinion warrants the PG-13 rating.Do not misunderstand me.I recommend seeing the movie as it is enjoyable.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a big challenging novel to adapt to the big screen.Initially I had low expectations for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but after seeing the movie, I think it the best in the series and the adaptation is a great success.When you’re adapting a 600-page book into a two-and-a-half-hour film, it’s inevitable that certain things will get cut.
The Best Book…The Worst Movie! 19 July, 2009
Author:infernodx from the United Kingdom
This film is so awful compared to the book that I can’t believe people love it.The book is a million times better and I’m hugely disappointed.They have added poor scenes and taken away integral parts of the book.Huge parts of the story have been missed.Pointless scenes have been added to make it appeal to a wider audience.I feel it totally unnecessary as Harry Potter appeals to probably the widest audience of any book.If I were J.K.Rowling I would have asked the producers some serious questions.
