Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Dumbledore takes Harry to Horace Slughorn's house. The house looks like it has been robbed. After they find Horace, who has disguised himself as a chair, they ask him to be the new potions professor at Hogwarts. Harry and Ron take his class and Harry ends up with the potion book, "The Half-Blood Prince." He uses the book to find out how Voldemort came across his dark magic.

In the end, Harry learns all of the secrets that Hogwarts has kept for years.

I liked the unexpected events that happened, including the VERY big one at the end. I won't tell you what that was, because you have to go see the movie!

I would rate this movie 4 out of 5 cow spots.

I am a HUGE harry potter fan, I have read all the books (and loved them). I have liked all the movies too. When I found out that the Half Blood Prince was coming out this summer I was so exited, but I hope it didin't leave out any iportant information or anything that I liked from the book as other movies have before. When I went to see the movie (on poening day of course) I was happy to find out that this Harry Potter movie had the closest storyline to the book. I reccomend to anyone who hasn't read the book or seen the movie to do it!

im not a big harry fan but i love movies im going to see the twlight movie

It wa so awesome and sad and exciting I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched that movie just yesterday! I guess there is a pretty sad part at the end, but still I wish magic were real so I could go to Hogwarts! I like how they put a little bit of a different coding (I have read all the books).

i think this was one of the best Harry Potter movies ever, besides number 4!(LOVED IT!)

You guys (and gals) should know that theres this ``Hogwarts" place in britain!:)

dosnt anybody think thats cool?


P.S...HARRY POTTER ROCKS!:)

i wish i was a witch!!! by the way lily, i am lily. i luv harry potter and the half blood prince!!! also, there is a witchcraft school in america too. you would know if you pay attentioned to the 4th book when the Quidditch World Cup was taking place.

I think that that was one of the best Harry Potter movies I really liked the book that corresponded with that movie

to lilypotter, yes there is one, The Salem Institute for witches or something like that. (I go there!!! lol) and i can't remember the name!!! This movie gets four out five of my lucky stars!!!

P.S. I don't really go there. But i wish everrrrrrrr so muchhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awsome! I love the movies and have read the whole series. I cant wait for the deathly hallows part one in November 2010. I would give all the money in the world to go to Hogwarts for a school year!!!!!!!!!!!!

The movie was really good!!!!!!!

It's sad because at the end, Dumbledore dies at the end i hope they succeed in the next movie

I love Harry Potter but I thought that the sixth movie was REALLY boring. I liked the book and all but the sixth was SUPER long. My favorite part was when Snape just killed Dumbeldore and Snape, Bellatrix, Draco and Harry were outside of Hogwarts and Harry was about to duel with Snape and he yelled "FIGHT BACK YOU COWARD, FIGHT BACK", with Hagrid's Hut burning in the backround. And I love the part when all the Death-Eaters are gone and all of the school is surrounding Dumbeldores dead body and Harry is crying next to it with Ginny and the camera shows Magonagall and she slowly raises her wand and then they show Madam Pomfery who is also sobbing raise her wand and everyone begins to and the Dark-Mark goes away........Heart-Wenching moment!

P.S. I am getting the new Deathly Hallows part 2 poster with Magonagall on it!!

P.S.S. Question: Why do all of theh new posters say "IT ALL ENDS 7.16?? We don't want it to end!!

P.S.S.S I am turning 10 to-marrow!

I love the movies and the books and Hogwarts is such a awesome school
