Editorial Reviews
Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, Professor 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.

Decent movie with creating the world of Harry Potter. I would have liked it if they added an extended version, but I can understand why they didn’t. I was very amazed with how Dan, Rupert, and Emma matured through the films as actors and physically themselves, compared to some child actors, who start out adorable, but then lose that or become bad actors as they get older.

We bought all but #5 of the Harry Potter films 2 disc special editions Blu-ray here on Amazon. Three of them (HP3, HP6, and HP7A) look exactly the same and the movies play, but the special features discs are unrecognized. We thought it was Amazon, so we went to the local movie shop and bought those same 3 movies (Azkaban, Prince, and Hallows P1), in the same format, and those special features discs did not work either. So we took them back to the store, the nice employees there tested them on their blu-ray player (we were using a PS4 at home), and the discs were still unrecognized. So it is most definitely a fault in the discs. The only movie we didn't buy on Amazon in this format was HP5. We ended up buying the 2 disc special edition in DVD format from the movie shop and the discs work perfectly!

Nothing is as good as the book, but I really like this movie. Mainly because all the characters really looked just as the author described them in the books... the casting was done excellently. (Thank God it isn't one of those where a white person is playing an Asian like in the book/movie The Good Earth, like WTF!?!)... anyway, I prefer the book because it gives a whole lot more info about all the characters while the movie is limited in the background stories. The movies do stay very true to the novels though. This is the saddest one because it's the one where Dumbledore dies.

Mostly a buyer note. The title of the item does not say multi-format so I never thought over many years to check for a UV expiration date. If it did maybe I would have considered buying it literally 20 days earlier...
Maybe I wasn't expecting UV but I wasn't expecting an expired UV surprise either. So, 4 stars for expired UV because that's just irritating. Item is otherwise in perfect condition and has an attractive new coverr for your collection's upgrade to blu ray. There's a sticker on the back of the box but not the front.
UPDATE: Looks like the code works past expiration so my updated review is better buy it fast =/

As I have stated before in some of my earlier reviews, its obvious that you cannot take a book that has more pages and words than bees have hives and make a movie. You can however, take a book and make a movie that stays true to form and does its best to keep up with the pace of the original novel. In that category we have: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
The acting in this movie was great. I feel that Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon, and even Tom Felton (though he is a bit of a cry baby at times in this one) shine in this movie especially.
Harry Potter is growing up rapidly as he is now 16 and set to start another year at Hogwarts. Dumbledore meets Harry outside of the wizarding world and then asks a favor of Harry. From there, we meet a new professor, Horace Slughorn. Not long after these series of events while Harry is on his way to Hogwarts with Ron and Hermione, suspicions arise after seeing Draco and Narcissa talking to what appears to be Death Eaters. And that is only the beginning of the mystery.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince deals with issues such as: love, loyalty, and sacrifice. The tone of the movie overall can be described as engagingly humorous, eagerly romantic, but as serious as the book is; some even argue that this is one of the darker stories in the series, I can be inclined to agree tremendously. It is an enjoyable 153 minute movie.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince's final score:
5 stars

Once I get over all the things left out between the book and the movie (always a wrench), I can enjoy this movie a great deal. It's darker, although perhaps not darker than the Order of the Phoenix. It's also more involved with the personal lives of our main characters. Oddly, though, the kids have grown up so much that I can't be sure which ones are or are not being played by different actors. Not the main characters, certainly: but is Lavender Brown the same? Neville and Luna may or may not be: they are seen so briefly.
Anyway, the basic story is that the Death Eaters are causing a lot of trouble, even in the muggle world, and Dumbledore seems to have a plan to fight back, although the nature of the fight takes some time to develop. Even for him.
He has asked Horace Slughorn to come out of retirement and be the Potions master, while Severus Snape finally gets the position he has wanted all along: Defense Against the Dark Arts. Why? It turns out Tom Riddle was a favorite of Slughorn's when he was at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore is convinced he has vital information about Riddle. You see, Slughorn is a sort of name-dropping groupie of famous witches and wizards and their children. As Dumbledore puts it, he likes to "collect" names for his Slug Club. Of course he wants to collect Harry, and Dumbledore asks Harry to get close to him in the hopes of getting the necessary information. Dumbledore has a bottled memory of Slughorn talking to Tom Riddle, but it has been altered. (You know about the bottled memories; they are put into the pensieve in order to be experienced.) It is Harry's mission to get the truth from Slughorn.
Harry succeeds. It turns out Slughorn told Riddle about horcruxes, very dark magic that allows a magician to divide part of his soul and hide it in an object. So if he is killed, it's just that body that dies; he can still recover the hidden part of his soul from the horcrux. Making just one is bad enough, but apparently Voldemort made seven of them. Potter destroyed one, Riddle's diary, in the Chamber of Secrets. Dumbledore found and destroyed a ring which had been in the family of Riddle's mother for some time, and it blackened his hand in the process.
Now he believes he knows where another is hidden: in a cave by the ocean where he takes Harry with him, first extracting a promise from Harry that he will do as Dumbledore asks, no matter what. Harry promises, but it turns out to be pretty horrible to live up to. And even more horrible is what they confront when they return to Hogwarts.
I've told you too much already, especially if you haven't read the books. But believe me, there's a great deal more. For example, just what is Draco Malfoy up to?

' "Who is the Half-Blood Prince? This" ' (film) ' " says this is the property of the Half-Blood Prince" '.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2010Verified Purchase
This is yet another great film within the entire "Harry Potter" film franchise. The sixth in the series, "Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince" boasts, as with all of the other films, non-stop action, special effects, drama and last but certainly not least, magic! It picks up immediately in the Department of Mysteries, within the Ministry of Magic, with all cameras blazing, but Harry is not exactly pleased by this response from the press, given that none of them would believe him after he claimed that he witnessed Voldemort's rebirth in the first place. Albus Dumbledore, however, has other suspicions about Voldemort, and Harry must see fit to follow Dumbledore's lead than he would usually do; whatever you may say about Harry, he does get himself into loads of trouble! The level of creepiness and suspense, balanced by good humour and the trials of romance throughout the entire movie is perfect, and for the first time the whole aspect of becoming a Death Eater is explored extremely well with it showing just how hard and horrible a job it is to be such a hard hearted villain for the latest antagonist in the story, and to do the nasty deeds it entails while under immense pressure. One niggle that I have is with the new addition of Mrs. Malfoy, played by Helen Mcrory; for me she is just too easily outshone in her debut role as a "Harry Potter" character when standing next to the likes of Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange, so it's a treat to see Mcrory wield a wand and show more fear of and resistance to Voldemort in "The Deathly Hallows" since Mrs Malfoy is as much a favourite character of mine as her sister Bellatrix. Otherwise, I do think that "Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince" is still a very engaging film. Along with a marvellous Special Features disc that aside from its usual material also includes a moving and insightful documentary entitled "A Year In The Life Of J.K. Rowling", this is pure wizarding entertainment everywhere!

Darker still
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 12, 2013Verified Purchase
When you think it can't getter any darker, it pulls the rug from beneath you. Literally starting of from where it left of last time, the end of this one makes you want to watch it again and again. Voldermorts death eaters are in full vengeance and no on is safe. Harry and friends are now in sixth form and there is a lot of romantic themed dilemmas to break the tension a bit. With a full blown tragedy at the end Harry and friends are more united then ever and leave the year resolved to find the horcruxes which will end Voldermort. A lot of the main actors actually look quite bored and it does make it less enjoyable to watch, but it is no more distracting than the overaly posh accents the first 2 are blighted by.

Part 6 of the Franchise... doesnt let down!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 17, 2012Verified Purchase
I'm going to keep this (hopefully) short and sweet.
This is my second favourite of the Harry Potter film franchise behind Prisoner of Azkaban which in my opinion is by far the most stylish outing for the harry Potter gang but this is not too far off if I am honest.
This sets us up well for the final 2 films and does a very good job of doing it.
The acting, as with all Harry Potter films tends to be a bit hit and miss and there are still some of those moments in this, despite them all being, lets be honest, adults. Some of the acting is good, don't get me wrong but they still have those cringe moments.
The music is good, I have the soundtrack too and the visual effects as always, as with any film now-a-days, are top notch and completely up to scratch.
To sum up, a good outing for the Harry Potter gang, one which i then re-purchased on Blu-Ray... because I am materialistic and like things in HD :P

Harry Potter and the half plot movie.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2009Verified Purchase
I'm an avid Harry Potter fan and I blame my younger sister for this when she introduced me to the Harry Potter dvds. I was instantly hooked and from then on I bought the books and films as they came out. I didn't get the chance to see this lastest film on the cinema due to moving and so I decided to wait until this film came out on dvd and then I purchased it and watched it within a couple of days.
What can you say? Well, the scenes and graphics are amazing as ever and the same can be said for the acting is as good as ever, however I was bored by half way through the film and for me it did not improve because the story line was weak. The book to me was weaker than the others (No reflection on JK Rowling she is an excellent author), so by the time it was adapted to film it was missing even more of the story. This was the one film in the series which could have done with everything in the book to be adapted to film and may be a bit more poetic licence to exaggerate key features in the book to make the film more exciting. To me it was just brought out as money spinner without making it into an amazing film. Many other people will feel differently about this than me and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Needs a narrator?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2018Verified Purchase
Beautiful scenes , visual graphics excellent, but the film needed a narrator. If you haven't read the book you wouldn't know what was going on. I had to keep explaining why certain things were happening to my partner who hadn't read the books. Loved the scenery and the clever graphics, computer graphics.
