The adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for the big screen was seemingly focused on attracting teenage girls as its target audience. Such was the persistent return, scene after scene, to the teen angst subplot, that at times seemed to become the main story. The movie was beautifully done otherwise, but suffered from either poor editing, or a bad screenplay. I suggest this version of Potter would have been more aptly named Harry Potter and the Teen Angst Trio.
