Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is by far the most artfully created film yet. As with every film, a few parts of the book were left out, but they did not detract from the overall experience of the movie. This movie provides a combination of elation, humor, fear, and sadness like no other. Romance takes a leading part in the lives of Hogwarts students, a new and exciting addition. Readers of Harry Potter books will not be dissapointed as the cast proved more perfect for their roles than ever and events in the book were conveyed flawlessly. For not so avid fans of Harry Potter, the movie still provides a source of laughter - even tears, and entertainment from beginning to end.
