"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Jim Broadbent, Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith
Director: David Yates
Story: Let's start with a partial spoiler: A major character loses his life in this one. In Harry Potter's (Radcliffe) sixth year at Hogwarts, Voldemort becomes more of a threat. Dumbledore (Gambon) and Harry enlist the help of Professor Slughorn (Broadbent) to help them jump through pools of liquid memory and trace Voldemort's evolution. Love also blooms in this installment as Harry is drawn to Ginny (Bonnie Wright) and Ron gets fed some mysterious chocolates that make him fall for Romilda Vane (Anna Shaffer), to the chagrin of Lavender Brown (Jessica Cave).
Worth seeing? If you're a Potter fan, of course. Yates, who directed "Order of the Phoenix," had to compress those liquid memories down for the film. "We've still got some really cool ones. We've got, you know, the wonderful thing is seeing Riddle as a child, which is really scary," Yates told the folks atVeritaserum.com. Grint told Entertainment Weekly that the film is "a lot lighter and funnier" than "Phoenix," which does seem kind of odd considering the fact that there's a huge death in the film.
