The wizarding world has taken a turn for the darker, all of which shows brilliantly through the films visuals, but the mix of humor, aided by some great one-liners, is enough to keep it all moving at a good pace. The Half-Blood Prince brings the main characters' relationships to the forefront and perfectly sets up the final showdown, with enough action to please the boys, enough love and sideways glances to please the girls and enough momentum to keep everyone asking "When does Deathly Hallows (part 1) come out again?" Finally a great addition to this summer!
