The highly anticipated, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" has finally reached DVD!!!!! This film is definitely the best of the six because of the acting, the locations and the adrenaline in this masterpiece of a film.
Daniel Radcliffe is simply wonderful as the ever going Harry Potter: he really has raised his game for this film. Rupert Grint delivers most of the laughs, of course and Emma Watson returns again as the brainy Hermione Granger. Of course, the usual lot were in here as well, all giving great performances like Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman and Helena Bonham Carter.
Newcomers this time are Jessie Cave as Lavender Brown, Jim Broadbent as old, bumbling Horace Slughorn and Dave Legeno as the evil, spine-tingling Fenrir Greyback. Jim Broadbent really gives 110% into all his scenes and Greyback is just horrible to look at!!!!
The actual film is excellent. It's much darker than the previous films; nowhere near as much bright colours like before. The film also develops into quite a love story. Ron falls in love with Lavender, then Hermione and Ginny falls in love with Dean, then Harry: it's quite hard to follow!!!
But of course, the real objective is for Harry to defeat Lord Voldemort. Harry takes 1 to 1 lessons with Dumbledore and keeps getting closer and closer to defeating Voldemort throughout the duration of the film. I'm not going to tell anyone why as I will spoil it: Watch it for yourself!!!!
So, David Yates, once again, I bow to you for another great film from you. Good Luck on the next two: We're all hungry for more!!!!

Director David Yates ramps up the tension as the series draws ever closer to the final battle in Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince. Harry's sixth and penultimate year at Hogwarts is his darkest and most troubling yet. Can he find a way to defeat Voldemort and save all he holds dear? 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 (Michael Gambon) is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defences and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, Professor Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, as teen hormones rage across the ramparts, Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! That's not forgetting Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
