Movie Review – Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – 4 Stars
Being the Harry Potter geek that I am, I like the fact that this film seemed to open the characters’ motives to the audience more than any other in the series. The casting and acting are again strong, with Tom Fleton showing perfect desperation with the downfall of Draco Malfoy, and Alan Rickman once again proving that he really *is* Professor Snape. But while it was a positive that the film captured both the humour and the dark emotion of the story, there seemed to be no segue between these in the script, leading to some jarring shifts in tone.
