Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

This movie need some oil from my face, so dry and was trying so hard to keep awake. How could it have break the dark night 3 day record ? Probably only hard core potter fans will like, or the director couldn't instill more excitement. I think I didn't watch the first 2 and could never remember the characters and terms the movie use ... except potter, not because I like him but it is the name of the book and movie, quite difficult to forget.

Can't remember there is any scene which will up your adrenaline. They are older now so elements of BGR takes up a portion of the movie. Harry was persuaded back to Hogwarts by Dumbledore and got Horace back to teach Potions. Also getting Harry to be under him. As death eaters tear through muggles and london, Snape took a unbreakable "SoomPa" with Draco's mother. Not sure who this draco guy is, supposedly working with Voldermort, he was asked to do something. So snape vowed to protect him.

During potion lesson, harry found a book which helped during the potion making task, the book was written by "half blood" prince which nobody knows who. Ron became the goalie of the team, where the game they play flying around and trying to score goals by hitting a ball like object through a ring. This attracted a girl, lavender brown who is head over heels about Ron, that of course incurred the wrath of Hermione. Harry on the other hand was jealous of Ginny close interactions with Dean.

Back to the dark part, Dumbledore wanted Harry to get close to Horace and get him to reveal long time back when he taught Tom Riddle aka Voldermort, he did mention to him about learning one dark art. Dumbledore believed that could be the key in defeating him. Meanwhile Draco is doing things, attempted twice to kill Dumbledore but failed. One with a cursed necklace and the other poisoned wine. Harry aware from the beginning as he saw Draco before doing some ritual with the death eaters.

After the 2nd attempt, harry confronted draco killing him in the process with "Sectumsempra" curse from the "half blood" prince book. Snape came in time and heal draco. Dumbledore revealed to harry in Tom's dream, there is mention of Horcruxes, some device that will make his soul immortal. And 2 of the rings harry's mother have were part of the 7 Horcruxes. He discovered another Horcruxes and teleport with harry to some cave and inside there, they drank something so that they can see the Horcruxes, which is a pendant. Then they were attacked by numerous zombie like creatures, inferi.

Dumbledore recovered and burnt them to nothing. As they return back to the tower, he ask harry to go get snape, before that happens. Snape appeared with other death eater, he cast Avada Kedavra, a killing curse at Dumbledore which is still weak. He fell out of the window and died. As the school still trying to recover from dumbledore death, harry found that the pendant is fake, only leaving a note, signaturing R.A.B. 6/10
