PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"Harry is better than ever, a triumph of visual wonder and emotional storytelling. (...) Getting lost in the hypnotic Half-Blood Prince is what gives the movie its haunting power. (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)." (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone) ----------------------------------------
"Is merely the sixth chapter in a now eight-part series that, much like its young hero, played by Daniel Radcliffe, has begun to show signs of stress around the edges, a bit of fatigue (...) far more than any of the previous films, feels like an afterthought." (Manohla Dargis: The New York Times) ----------------------------------------
"An elegant addition to the series. (...) Radcliffe in particular, has never been better than here, displaying new maturity and subtlety. (...) Rating: *** (out of four)." (Sarah Crompton: Telegraph) ----------------------------------------
"Kids' stuff is a thing of the past (...) Dazzlingly well made and perhaps deliberately less fanciful than the previous entries, this one is played in a mode closer to palpable life-or-death drama than any of the others and is quite effective as such." (Todd McCarthy: Variety) ----------------------------------------
"A jerky start of exposition and backstory gives way to vigorous storytelling (...) all the visual and digital effects have now blended seamlessly into the package." (Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter) ----------------------------------------
"Darker, Richer and All Grown Up. (...) With Half-Blood Prince, again we have a stalwart, satisfying visualization of the Rowling cosmos." (Richard Corliss: Time) ----------------------------------------
"'Half-Blood Prince is witty, spectacular and one of the best. (...) is spellbinding, even though it is more grounded in reality and less fanciful than previous installments. (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)." (Claudia Puig: USA Today) ----------------------------------------
