Overview

As Lord Voldemort tightens his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds, Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven. Harry suspects perils may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemorts defenses and to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Even as the decisive showdown looms, romance blossoms for Harry, Ron, Hermione and their classmates. Love is in the air, but danger lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Viewing Notes

Cinematography in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is indeed amazing, a visual treasure. Movie was good but not great just wish there was more plot development (if I hadn’t read the book I’m not sure I would’ve really knew what was going on w/Draco). Also many of my favorite moments in the book were absent. And where was that big battle in Hogwarts at the end? Missed that. Still a solid watch.
