And Michael Gambon knocked it out of the park. Dumbledore in this movie got quite a bit of screen time this time around and with that some great character development. Emma Watson as Hermione was also great again, with her character also getting some development. Ron got a little bit more development as well, and Rupert Grint was great in the role. This was apparently the movie in the series he enjoyed doing the least, but you can still tell that he gave it his all. You can tell that he still loves everything magic that he comes across, that awe has not left him yet… but he is more cold and serious, and Daniel Radcliffe once again owned the role.
After everything that’s happened in the last movie, Harry is a broken man. Since this movie has the least stuff going on plotwise in any “Harry Potter” movie, I was pleased that it at least decided to develop it’s characters even further. It’s really more of a slow and chilling mystery this time around… and I love that! There’s not too many things really happening, it’s more of a slow burn this time around… but I feel like that actually helped the movie. Out of all the movies it might be the least eventful, at least in terms of plot. And I was fully invested in the plot from start to finish. And this sets Harry off on a year of mystery, dark discoveries, and having to further head into maturity. This time around Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) has asked Harry to try to get close to a teacher, specifically the new potions teacher Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), because he might have crucial information about a certain dark one.
So Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) begins his sixth year at Hogwarts, and things are a bit different. Ladies and gentlemen… “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”! But also because I love talking about movies with you guys! Enough of that… let’s get into it!
I’ve had so much fun doing it, partially because it gave me an excuse to revisit these movies that I grew up with. So we are now at the sixth part in my series of reviews leading up to “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”.
