Default Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Review Thread

Please only vote in the poll if you've seen the movie.

This is a public poll so we can see who we agree with.


I thought we'd do the review thread a little differently. After you've seen the movie, vote in the poll. Blu-ray.com members that haven't seen the film can get a general star rating from the members that have seen it.

Also, please be courteous and use spoiler tags until the Monday following release (if you need to learn how to do spoiler tags, there's a sticky at the top of this forum).

So Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince starts tonight. Post your reviews here!



If you vote, please explain your reasons. Thanks!

We saw a sneak peak last night in Tampa, Fl. It was pretty good deff not a 100%.. I dont want to give to much away but there is a lot of "SET UP" 4 the next Potter. It was heavy on Dialoge, a bit of action but mostly story telling. If anyone has any questions on the flick ask and I'll answer!..The beginning of the movie felt like your where on a Rollercoster.. I thought the camara pans were lame, over all it was good I give it a 67%...

[Show spoiler]Was the tower scene faithful? Early reports were that Harry was not jinxed by Dumbledore, but instead hid beneath the top of the tower and watched through some sort of peephole.

I hope they haven't changed it like that. That would be really stupid.

[Show spoiler]I agree, but to do this scene properly they would need to explain the immobilize jinx sometime earlier in the movie. Without the narrative from Harry explaining what happened it might not make sense to everyone.

very true, i'm both nervous and excited for this movie. and since i've read the books, i'm not to worried about spoilers so i'll be reading everything people post on it b/c i don't think i'm gonna make it to the theater for this one!!!

that just means i'll be catching both of part 7 in the theaters!!!

i also wish the op would answer some of these questions!!!

I heard that they took out the
[Show spoiler] battle at the end that is in the book as they didn't want it to be the repeat for the final movie


I read that on the interview with David Yates on comingsoon.net

You didn't like it?! Wow, I never knew that Half-Blood Prince would be a train wreck to the audience....

But, still, I'll tell you my review once I watch the movie.

In the videogame, the tower scene plays somewhat unlike the book, with harry watching through the floorboards

I don't understand how they can take
[Show spoiler] the battle out when in the previews it shows Harry telling Snape to fight him. This was all going on during the battle so I assume they've got to have something going on. Would be kind of ridiculous to have Snape just running away by himself.

[Show spoiler]The battle isn't necessary, Snape just needs to be getting Draco off the school grounds.

[Show spoiler] He still needs the distraction.
I guess I'm just one of the ones who would like to have the movies follow the book more closely.

[Show spoiler]He doesn't have a distraction in the book. The only reason he gets away is that everyone thinks he's on the Order's side.


Edit: Don't get me wrong, it would be great if the movie could follow the book word for word, but it's just not possible.

I thought the defining moment of the book
[Show spoiler]when Snape killed Dumbledore and then taunted Harry during their duel afterwards
