The Magic Continues

Harry Potter movies have always been favourites. Especially the sixth movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which was delayed for 6 months. The movie became highly anticipated in the summer of 2009. This was strengthen by the early critics which gave 3.5 stars out of four and even Vatican gave their praise to this. There are always these kind of hype to this wizard boy.

The story continues from the previous adaptation. Harry Potter now attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on his sixth year. It was told that Professor Severus Snape made a vow to protect the heir of the Malfoy clan, Draco Malfoy to do the task given to him by Lord Voldemort. As always, new teacher emerged. This year was Professor Horace Slughorn, teaching Potions. It turned out that Headmaster Dumbledore did not summon Slughorn for the purpose of teaching only but also to discover a secret in the past.

The movie started in the manner of mystery and coolness. Unfortunately, sometimes the movie degradated into a unneeded romance. The romance's portion is somehow bigger than the important stuff. The movie lost its point at some part. Thanks for the actors' well performance it was covered a little. According to me, director David Yates which helmed the 5th movie also, missed his cue to deliver the important parts of the story. In my opinion, Yates made a terrible mistake not to show the Quidditch incident in the 5th movie. To people who did not read the series, it would be a question of why did Harry not playing the Seeker in Quidditch? Yates has acted selfishly to show the right tone and everything but resulting in total strangeness. The part of the great battle between Dumbledore's Army and Death Eaters which did not happen in the movie was very disappointing. Without the battle, Ron and Hermione looked useless to Harry and Hogwarts seemed to have no defense having Death Eaters walking in its walls. It was such a waste not to introduce the werewolf Fenrir Greyback whom appeared ferociously in the book. It was also a waste to not explore the madness of Bellatrix Lestrange whom I found very amusing and super. I wished director David Yates was not this selfish when he helm the two movies of the 7th part. Harry's scar hardly appear very clear in the movie and in only one scene did it appear so clear and thick. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: (when it could get an A) rated B.
