Considering that The Half Blood Prince was far more condensed and complex than any of the books before it in the harry potter series then it is truly impressive what they have done here. It was well done, the screenplay was amazing, the pacing was great, the acting was beautiful, and the movie represented the book so very well that this makes this by far the best HP movie in years. Not since the first movie have we seen one of these books so accurately made into a movie and with such a long book. This was really an incredible movie. It has all the content of a five hour movie packed into 2.5 hours without it feeling rushed, and that is really great movie making.
