To be the 6th movie in a series, Harry Potter still delivers quality entertainment. The movie was on the same level as the 5th movie in all aspects, except for humor. In the Half Blood Prince there seemed to be more romantic funny moments which helped ease the tension from the impending doom the dark lord seems to cast over all Hogwarts. This is not a happy, "good guys win" movie. Quite the oppisite in fact. In the end it's worth paying money to get the full experience, and proves to be another wonderful installment to the Potter series.
