Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

It’s been a long time since I read the sixth book in the Harry Potter series but, in a way, I’m glad that’s the case. Without knowing for sure what was cut or reinterpreted, I was able to enjoy the movie the way director David Yates wanted the audience to. Like each successive film from the third on, it’s darker than the last and the amount of time spent in the Hogwarts classroom is further diminished. What’s left is a satisfying action movie spectacular and not a by-the-numbers adaptation.

Rating: ★★★★☆
