Advantages: Special effects, performances, only one more book to go Disadvantages: A mess of backstory
Once again, the Harry Potter hype machine promised us that this would be the darkest year yet at Hogwarts. And, once again, everyone was too polite to point out that they've been saying this since Chamber of Secrets came out several years ago... But there was a great deal of expectation surrounding this sixth film, based on the penultimate book in J K Rowling's seven volume epic of magical larks in wizardland. So how does it measure up?
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry Potter is not a happy boy-wonder-genius-action wizard when we meet him in a railway station cafe.

Advantages: Fun; appeals to a wide age range; it's Harry Potter! Disadvantages: Tries too hard; has lost some of its charm; disparate plot.
It?s back. Swishing wands, flying broomsticks and one absolutely beautiful castle ? it can only be Harry Potter.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth instalment in the series that follows the triumphs and travails of Harry and his friends as they struggle against the evil Lord Voldemort and his fiery Death Eaters. It is, of course, based on the celebrated books by J K Rowling and if there is anybody left alive who hasn?t heard of Harry Potter then they really ought to have their eyes and ears examined because it must be one of the greatest entertainment franchises in history.
