This is one of the best movies in the Harry Potter franchise. We were not to thrilled with the Order of the Phoenix but the Half Blood Prince revamped the franchise. It was funny and somber at the same time - nice to see them grown up and the fun of being a young adult. Without giving anything away the theater was in hysterical laughter for a lot of the movie, and it went deathly quiet towards the end. When we left we felt fulfilled as though the book had been faithfully adapted and the ending was great - leaving it open for the next two movies. Great - can't wait to get the DVD for our collection.
