Good Addition

I've been a fan of Harry Potter since the first book. I've enjoyed watching the characters grow up in both the books and the movies. I absolutely love the movies - I think they did a great job on all of them. By far, my favorite is the Prisoner of Azkaban.

I think the mistake a lot of book-readers make is that they don't allow the movies to stand on their own and that's where most of the negative reviews stem from. You HAVE to treat the films and books separate or the films are doomed to fail. As the stories have progressed they've gotten more in depth and the books longer and more has to be trimmed when it comes to film them. The most that any film maker can do is to try and capture the essence of the final four books and so far they've done that.

Half-Blood Prince is a very good addition to the series but don't be fooled here, you're not going to get very much action at all. It's pace is that of a set-up film and that's exactly what the story was designed to do - setup for Deathly Hallows. The movie is dark, which I enjoyed a lot. You get the sense that things outside of Hogwarts are falling apart and it's confirmed midway through the film when the Order meets at the Burrow. The music is spot-on and the acting is mostly great. The only criticism would be Bonnie Wright. She CAN act, I just don't feel that she was directed all that well. The gem in the movie is Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy). It was great to see the inner turmoil that I had anticipated.

I have the Blu-Ray copy and it looks as good as any other Blu-Ray copy that I have. The audio is very good as well.

What's great about it: Everything

What's not so great: Nothing

I would recommend this to a friend!
