Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Daniel Radcliffe 2009 DVD Top-quality

This is yet another great film within the entire “Harry Potter” film franchise. The sixth in the series, “Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince” boasts, as with all of the other films, non-stop action, special effects, drama and last but certainly not least, magic! It picks up immediately in the Department of Mysteries, within the Ministry of Magic, with all cameras blazing, but Harry is not exactly pleased by this response from the press, given that none of them would believe him after he claimed that he witnessed Voldemort’s rebirth in the first place. Albus Dumbledore, however, has other suspicions about Voldemort, and Harry must see fit to follow Dumbledore’s lead than he would usually do; whatever you may say about Harry, he does get himself into loads of trouble! The level of creepiness and suspense, balanced by good humour and the trials of romance throughout the entire movie is perfect, and for the first time the whole aspect of becoming a Death Eater is explored extremely well with it showing just how hard and horrible a job it is to be such a hard hearted villain for the latest antagonist in the story, and to do the nasty deeds it entails while under immense pressure. One niggle that I have is with the new addition of Mrs. Malfoy, played by Helen Mcrory; for me she is just too easily outshone in her debut role as a “Harry Potter” character when standing next to the likes of Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange, so it’s a treat to see Mcrory wield a wand and show more fear of and resistance to Voldemort in “The Deathly Hallows” since Mrs Malfoy is as much a favourite character of mine as her sister Bellatrix. Otherwise, I do think that “Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince” is still a very engaging film. Along with a marvellous Special Features disc that aside from its usual material also includes a moving and insightful documentary entitled “A Year In The Life Of J.K. Rowling”, this is pure wizarding entertainment everywhere!
