I was slightly disappointed with the 5th installment of the Harry Potter movie series, and so I went into the Half-Blood Prince both with doubts and with heightened expectations. It lived up to every one. The action sequences were exciting and breathtaking, the love scenes were heartwarming and honest, and the comedy elements were fantastic. Then there was the ending which had me in tears. I will go see this one again, and can't wait to own it on DVD to watch as I please.
