Fans of the Harry Potter books will love Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. This movie stays relatively true to the series; it has great action as well as romance and humor. In this film we see Harry, Ron, and Hermione grapple with love, dating, friendship, and Death Eaters. We also see some interesting scenes of young Tom Riddle. Those who haven't read the books may be a bit disappointed. Six years into Harry Potter there are now so many twists, turns and plot points that it's getting a bit hard to keep up. There are also a few characters which aren't explained well in the film. I would not recommend this movie for children who have not read the book because of the confusing plot and some frightening scenes.
