Of all the books in the Harry Potter series, this had to be the hardest story to translate to film. This was more of a background story needed to close the gap on some of the running story lines and put characters in place for the upcoming battle. The movie containes all the action we love about Harry Potter, but with a bit more drama and depth. The story is darker and emotions run high. Harry and his friends are almost adults so now you see much of the light-hearted humor of pass films being replaced by deep emotions and more adult-like behavior. Where 'Order of the Phoenix' felt more like a coming of age, 'The Half-Blood Prince' shows what it feels like to take on the role as an adult in one of the most darkest times in wizard history.
