Harry Potter and the half blood prince is now my fave film of the entire series. Im not exaggerating but I have a great feeling that this one so far is one the best movies of 2009. Anyway, after my dissapointment with the adaptation of "Order of the Phoenix", Im glad this one is definitely back on track. The humor, charm and magic are all back that were sorely missing in the last installment. Hermione (Emma Watson), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) are all given a well balance exposure to show their vastly improved acting abilities. But the person that I still can't get off my head until now is the character of Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton). His unforgettable menacing and nuance acting surprised me by a mile. He truly shines in this film. Not to mention my ever fave, the superb quiet and twisted portrayal of Snape (Alan Rickman). His intimidating presence alone makes me want to get him more screen time. I adore every second of his scenes. Cant wait for his take on the next installment. Another great thing is the award winning direction of british director David Yates. I was hesitant at first in accepting the fact that hes the director again of Half blood. But he definitely proved me wrong in every way. He simply handled the direction with total virtuosity and by balancing everything in the mix. The dramatic flow of the story are smoothly executed and all of the scenes are gorgeously filmed. The breathless visual effects and the choreography of shots are all elegantly done. The brilliant cinematography makes it look like a sophisticated and stylish movie that I cant say with the other Potter series. Lastly, the one I find most powerful is the scene at the tower. It has a lot of burning tension and the tragic part is almost very sudden I must say. The final scenes still brought tears to my eyes eventhough I already read the book. Thats how great this movie works. Half blood prince is the darkest, creepiest and emotional movie in the whole series. I can still feel the fun and excitement but yet I feel at the same time the somber mood and the seeping of dread underlying in the whole tone of the film. Now I cant wait for the next and final movie "The Deathly Hallows" slated to be release in 2010 and 2011. rating: *****
