Pottermania is back after a hiatus of 2 years when the Order of Phoenix released back in 2007.
JK Rowling's sixth installment offered a maze of dark secrets , and this film captures the essence of it.
Half Blood Prince starts where the Order of the Phoenix finishes , Dumbledore brings Harry back to Hogwarts. In the process , he convinces , Slughorn , the Potions Professor to re-join Hogwarts.
There starts the journey of unraveling the Dark Lords secrets at Hogwarts , where in Harry indulges in eavesdropping , secret meetings , uncanny rendezvous' and what not.
Quidditch returns to Hogwarts ,with Ron making a great goalie impressing one and all!
There are a few romantic endeavours involving Hermione & Ron which are sweet reiterating the growing up of the characters in the book as well as the film.
The milieu was eerie as it should be for a dark movie. Last half hour made me sit up for once :)
A sense of more is felt once I left the theater though , there was lot of undercurrent and clandestineness and less action.
Waiting for the Voldemort and Harry showdown in 2011 !!
Rating : 3.5 /5.0
