Movie Review

The time is near, that when the Harry Potter franchise delivers its final whisk of the wand. The tension is starting to build, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth entry in the blockbuster franchise, is a key indicator of how the story of Harry, Ron and Hermione will end. David Yates, who also directed the previous Harry Potter film, is back at the helm - as he will be for the final two movies - but there was no certainty that the franchise would end on a high note. After sitting through two and a half hours of the latest Harry Potter, however, I can say with confidence that I can't wait for the final chapters to arrive.

I thought the movie was just so so and the ending was one of the worst ever. When I told my kids that they told me it was because they didn't follow the book and that is why the ending was so bad. they told me there was a big battle at the end of the novel version and they left it completely out. Maybe they thought it would be too intense for the younger children but what about us adults that have been following the series. The next two better be a lot better.
