Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Coming soon? It’s here!
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was released in UK cinemas yesterday and Jim and I went to see it in Cardiff. I’m not a very big Harry Potter fan, I have watched a few of the films and they were good but I wasn’t overly excited about seeing it yesterday. Hold the tomatoes back, I have to admit I really enjoyed the film and well recommend it! 
I was gripped as soon as it started, the opening scene of the Death Eaters tearing through London and blasting the Millennium Bridge into a thousand pieces as everyone screamed and scurried for safety, the imagery was incredible. The directors have made the film go with the times and as “the kids” grow up into teenagers you get the usual teenage romances, crushes and not forgetting the love potions which result into a somewhat bizarre situation.
The film was over 2 and half hours long and I didn’t fall asleep or wish it was over once. The cinema was jam packed and it had doses of comedy as well as the undertone of creepiness throughout the film. The only down statement I can make was that I didn’t feel it gave enough information about Tom Riddle and the Horcrux, but I guess more details and the plot will be explained in the next movie. Keeping us on the edge of our seats!
If you haven’t watched it yet then definitely do so! You don’t need to have watched previous films to get into the plot, you’ll drift into it as the film progresses. I can safely say I am now a fan of Harry Potter and am really looking forward to the next instalment!
