Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was Fantastic

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was on the agenda on Sunday come hell or high water, Death Eaters or the Dark Lord. With tickets booked online and my two kids in tow, we made it down for a Sunday afternoon session at one of Greater Union Cinema’s Senstadiums. Senstadium being a normal cinema with bigger screen and bigger sound, but still got a sore butt on their seats watching this 2 hour and 33 minute long epic.

I enjoyed the attention to detail with the settings in most of the scenes. That old worldy English village and town atmosphere is so charming. Especially on the big screen.

The storyline for the Half Blood Prince sets the scene for Harry Potter being initiated for his mission by Albus Dumiledore. It develops quite well with a few humorous distractions like Ron Weasley affected by a love potion and coming under the obsessive infatuation of Lavender Brown. Much to Hermoine Granger’s jealous disgust.

I was disappointed we didn’t get to see the battle against the Dark Lord. The end was a bit of an anti climax leaving me up in the air. I guess I was all worked up looking forward to seeing this great battle. I’ve heard that other’s were disappointed as well and even claimed the film was a bit boring. We all want some big action scene. That will happen in a future Harry Potter movie. But like the James Bond saga’s, Harry Potter will return.

Oh and my eight and ten year olds enjoyed it a lot.

My Rating: 7/10
