Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (6) - 9 stars out of 10

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (6) - 9 stars out of 10

I cannot call myself a true Potter fan since I have not read the books; therefore, my perspective is completely different from someone who has. For those of you who, haven't read them but still enjoy the movies, I believe that this is the best Harry Potter movie yet. Much darker than the previous installments, this movie was only possible because of the acting maturity developed by Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint over the past 8 years. Every second of this movie is SO REAL (with the exception of the bridge collapse at the beginning) that it will just envelope you from the very start. Watson's [heart flutter] emotional scene is very powerful, Alan Rickman is pure evil, Grint has his best performance of the series as he takes the spotlight during his comedic sequence, and Jim Broadbent was simply genius. There are too many amazing moments in this movie to name (and it's taking everything within myself not to give huge spoilers here). Just be prepared because this movie really is a downer, darkly propelling the story into it's upcoming final resolution.
