BY FAR the best movie yet!!! As with all the Potter movies, there's always the concern about how much damage they'll do to the story line, but they did a fantastic job! There was a perfect balance of funny with serious, which kept the movie from being too ridiculous or depressing. The audience spent a lot of the movie laughing at the antics of Harry and Ron, and even Dumbledore! I've heard some people say the end was a tad abrupt, but in my opinion, so was the book. All of the actors did a brilliant job, and I'm really looking forward to the quality of the final film. Half Blood Prince can definitely go down as my favorite of all the movies so far (A feat that hasn't been achieved since the first movie came out). Go see it!!!
