The first two films- eh. The other ones get better and better. And here we have "The Half-Blood Prince". This movie is probably too scary for very small children, but I loved it. It was very fast-paced and exciting. All the principle characters like Harry, Ron and Hermione were much more nuanced in their acting. They have really grown as expressive performers. It did seem a bit long, but to be honest, I don't think I could tell you what I would trim, as I liked it all. Go see it.
