The film is visually interesting, and the acting is perfectly adequate. However, the problem of HP 6 lies in the adaptation of the book. In the film version, the romance is blown out of proportion while the meaty Voldemort bits are relegated to the sidelines. Of course, the movies aren't meant to be perfect adaptations of the books, but in this case the writer passed up the opportunity to show cinematic scenes of Voldemort's youth and delve deeper into the serious issues that will confront the wizarding world in HP 7, and instead focused on teen love that rendered the movie pleasant but kind of...boring.
