I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The sixth installment in the incredibly popular wizard series carries on the tradition of following the books. The half-blood prince probably won't bring with it the expectations that came with the Philosopher's stone but then it is expected to be lower key as the franchise comes to a closure- there remains just one more book after this (deathly hollows). However, this film is darker in tone and should be headed for more mature territory just like the series.

This movie is mostly nonsense. If you are a fan of barely explained plot devices, bad acting, slowly deteriorating effects, new magical items that will exist in one movie alone, and a convoluted story, then congratulations - you've made it this far. This movie is basically just fan service for the Harry Potter book fans (all the movies are fan service for the book fans). I would not recommend this movie.

I am a huge Harry Potter fan, so I was really excited to see the film version of this. There was a lot that I was looking forward to, and I was a little bit disappointed because most of the scenes that I would've liked to see on screen were omitted. That being said, the scenes that were there were fantastic. However, I am still a little confused even years later as to why Death Eaters burned down the Weasleys' home. I thought this films in a really good job with showing the progression of the trio from children to basically soldiers. I think this is one of my favorite of the films simply because it was done so well.

Hard-core fans of Harry Potter claim that movie franchise started well enough but it goes worse with every new movie. To me, as to someone who did not read the books, it is quite the opposite. Maybe they don't follow books as much as they should, but actors are growing up and acting improves with every movie, story is more and more interesting and directing and effects sustain same good level. Great entertainment for whole family.7,5/10.............................................
