The Half-Blood Prince enchants us again

So we have been brought back to the theaters for the 6th time to take that adventure ride with student Harry Potter at the prestigious Hogwarts.

In this dark epic tale we are able to witness Professor Dumbledore working with Harry in addition, we are introduced to newcomer Professor Horace Slughorn so that we may unravel more of the mystery behind Voldemort's immortality.

Many feel that this is their favorite book and other than 7, the darkest book in the series. But somehow we just don't get it all in this one....why?

This is one of those films that if you are a fan of the series just know that everything is not exactly the same as in the book. Most of the time, the movies can be edited in way that they still manage it without compromising the integrity of the film. But this time the mark fell a little bit short. Now keep in mind this is to be expected but I think this also hurt the movie in that certain key parts were left out of the film from the book. Unfortunately, they cut scenes, but they change others to suit what they feel is the better way to go.

Grade: B-
