Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince [DVD] [2009]

As a Harry Potter fan, who has read all the books and loved them all. I knew that this film had to be darker in tone and content. It has to be to set up the scenes for the final two films to come. I found the film very visually dark, not great for me, i don't have brilliant sight! But i throughly enjoyed the film, you always knew certain characters were bad , and this certainly confirmed the cast into good and bad. I now await the two parts of "The deathly Hallows" with keen interest!

Watching the DVD was like being in a room with very little light.Was the film supposed to look like it was in shadow most of the time?Unfortunately it was like watching a copy which I'm sure it wasn't but the effect was the same.Not a pleasure to view.

'HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE' is a fantastic film. I loved it! But they made up some scenes and cut some parts! I thought 9/10 because most of it was amazing!

really quick del but my husband already brought is aswell as a suprise. oh well have 2 now.

i found this very disapointing, after reading all the books, you always feel you have been let down in the flim department, but this really does let you down, so much has been missed out,it hardly resembles the book at all. where is the fight between the death eaters and dumbledores army, thats a major part, where is dumbledores funeral, my family and i feel we have been let down and robbed of what could of been a fantastic flim.

Film of the sixth and possibly the best book in the series. If you did read the book then this film might come as a bit of a disappointment. If you didn't read the book then you'll probably just be confused by the way it cuts from plot to plot, missing out many of the important points and with hardly any explanation to replace them. In my own opinion this film captures very little of the book's mystery, intrigue and excursion into the realm of dark magic which are so central to J.K. Rowling's narrative. Also I thought that the special effects were a bit lame: so nothing to get excited about there. Like it or not, I'm sure H.P. fans will want to own it because it's an integral part of the set.

I went to see this film in the cinema when it was released, and I have to say that it's the worst Harry Potter film I've ever seen. I saw the fourth, which was very faithful to the book, but although I did love the humour, it never stopped me from being really scared, and I felt exactly the same with the sixth. This one is nowhere near as good as the first to the fifth, but it's horrible trying to get used to a wizard horror, and it's never good to scare yourself deliberately in order to enjoy a film. The Half Blood Prince movie is definitely a film which should have been rated for either fifteen or eighteen years because of Aragog, the fire scene at the Weasley's house, Fenrir Greyback, the bloody scene in the boys bathroom when Harry curses Malfoy, and the worst, the cave scenes. I don't care if young children love Harry Potter, if the films are this scary, it's not suitable for them, and although I'm eighteen, I still watched it with eyes glued to the screen, rigid, and later on practically panicked and kept on opening and closing my eyes to make sure I wasn't still watching it. Basically, this film is not only terribly unfaithful to the book, but a dreadful waste to fans and people who were fans, and I don't think it's particularly good for anyone who may suffer from excessive panic.

My complaint is not with the quality of the DVD or the excellent section on J.K.Rowling, but with the film makers who need to change so much of the book to fit it in the time allowed for the film. I enjoy the DVD but the book is far better...

Writers have finally managed to reflect the real magic created by the books into the film

The Half-Blood Prince was an amazing film. Only book purists and pensioners (who can't remember their young days) think this is a bad film. Pathetic. They moan about things getting cut out and changed - HELLO ??? ARE YOU THICK !?! Please, look beyond the book and enjoy the film for what it is - a masterpiece. It's an ADAPTATION!!!!!! BASED ON the BOOK!!!!!! A FILM!!!!!!!!!!! The cinematic form is magnifient and the cinematography is superb. Please don't listen to the blind idiots who say it's a bad film because of the changes from the book. This is an extraordinary piece of cinema and is extremeley emotional accompanied by one of the best film scores for the Potter series. You'll be missing out on Potter's best entry if you don't buy this FILM.
