Half-Blood Prince Review

Jennifer and I decided last-minute to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I figured I was already way off my schedule, so I might as well write a review as well. I published it this morning around 5:30. My review is targeted to those already familiar with the story. I'll be interested to see if I notice anything new -- or change my mind about anything -- on a second viewing.

Feel free to let me know if you have a different take on the film.

Read my review, "Movie Does Justice to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

Update: David Yates discusses leaving out the Minister and adding in a couple of of scenes not from the book. I liked the bridge scene, but the waitress scene seemed out of place. I wish he had dumped it and put the Minister back in!
