Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince may have been enough for casual viewers. I will admit, I am a purist; the added Burrow scene basically killed me and Dumbledore’s death did not.
Given, the cinematography was gorgeous, but the problems with this film were myriad. The juxtaposition between the light, humorous romps and the slightly less fluffy parts was jilted. The entire production felt like Sirius’s last moments—”The laughter had not quite died from his face, but his eyes widened in shock”—except without the emotional response.
Yates did what he could (which was a lot, given the superb casting) but seemed to falter when presented with such dull writing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
