With the upcoming cinematic release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One, I take a look at the 6th installment of the magical franchise.
I am a fan of the books, and a fan of the films. I realise many Rowling-lovers are outraged by the films, due to the changing and deletion of events, but I think it is important to see the two mediums separately.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the best film of the series, it has a sinister style which gives the film credibility, and the infamous trio (Daniel Radcliff, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint) pull of their most impressive performances. Harry (Radcliff), in his sixth year at Hogwarts (the magical school), continues his battle against the dark force of the Death Eaters, led by Voldemort, in which he attempts to learn more about his nemesis as well as cope with the trials of his famous life.
The film is excellent in terms of looks, style, cast, and music. Everything has an original appearance which make the Potter films instantly recognisable, and have given them an enduring existence. I still have problems with the script, but that seems to be a problem relating to the translation between page to screen.
Overall, a film that surpasses expectations, and makes it the most darkly exciting installment so far...
