Its the sixth movie of the famous harry potter series. The movie presents a very good visual and audio effects even though there is a lack of action as compared to the previous parts. All the kids are now grown up and there is more romance in the movie. The entire movie is like a build up to the last of the series, the Deathly Hallows. And I hope that one will be full of action to complement this.
The movie starts with the attack of 3 death eaters on a bridge in London used by Muggles (non-magical people). Later on the day, Dumbledore picks Harry from a railway station and together they went to meet Slughorn who agrees to be the new Potions teacher in Hogwarts. Later Harry was dropped at Weasley's house where his trunk and owl were waiting for him. He was back again with his friends Ron and Hermione. Fred and George, the elder twin brothers of Ron had started a shop in Diagon alley. After attending the inauguration ceremony, Harry and his two friends happened to stumble across Malfoy and his mother. They saw some kind of a ritual being performed in a shop, and somehow manages to escape unnoticed. Malfoy was being selected by Lord Voldemort to do certain task and his mother with the help of Bellatrix makes Severus Snape vow that he will do the task if Malfoy wont be able to carry it out.
Back in Hogwarts, security has been beefed up so as to protect the school from death eaters. All the baggage of students were checked and walls were further fortified with magic. And later as per the instructions from Dumbledore, Harry tries to get Slughorn's memory regarding his advice to Tom Riddle (young Voldemort) and he succeeds in that too. From that memory, Dumbledore and Harry figure out that Voldemort has made 7 parts of his soul and kept those in Hurcruxes. Dumbledore informs Harry that they already have destroyed two of the Hurcruxes. Then they setout to find another one in a rocky island in the ocean. The Hurcrux was in a deadly potion and Dumbledore drank it. This made him very week, but he manages to save Harry from the attack of inferis from the lake in that island. Dumbledore is very week by now, and Harry took him back to Hogwarts. Then Dumbledore sends him to get Snape for help. But before he left, Malfoy arrived and revealed that he had been chosen to kill Dumbledore. By this time, he had managed to get 4 death eaters into Hogwarts. Malfoy was not in a mental position to kill Dumbledore, but then Snape arrives and much to Harry's horror kills Dumbledore using Avada Kedavra. Snape then escapes with the other death eaters. Harry tries to stop him by using a spell he learned from the half-blood Prince's Potions book he got from Slughorn's class room. But it didn't work out, and Snape reveals that he was the Half-Blood Prince.
Before leaving the castle, the death eaters create the Dark Mark and destroys the Great Hall. Then all the wizards and witches in the palaces illuminate their wands in honor of Dumbledore and in that illumination the Dark Mark vanishes. Later Harry identifies that the locket he and Dumbledore retrieved from the island was fake and somebody else has already moved it from there. The movie ends with Harry, Ron and Hermione deciding to find all the remaining Hurcruxes and destroying them.
The movie is good, except the fact that there is not much action. But then considering the fact that this is more like building up for the next movie in the sequel, we can hope for the best that one. The movie gives you hundred percent visual satisfaction. And they've handled comedy pretty well. Altogether it is going to be a nice time watching the movie.
My Rating : Good (***)
