Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
This
is a great continuation of the Harry Potter story. This year Dumbledore is back at Hogwarts, and they have the task to figure out how to kill Voldemort. Part of this plan is totally unexpected. Dumbledore, is
intent on discovering how they can defeat Dumbledore. To do this he
must review the memories of Professor Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent) (prior potions
teacher who has agreed to come back to teach) with regards to a
conversation with Tom Riddle (Voldemort). This conversation had to do
with Horcruxes, and how you could put your soul into a physical object,
and thereby assure your own immortality. This could be done by
murdering someone. They discover that Voldemort did this several times,
and thus there are many Horcruxes around, which must be destroyed.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince:
Draco Malfoy also received a special mission from Voldemort, and Snape is brought
into this agreement with a spell he cannot brake, to assist Draco.
Dumbledore and Harry meet regularly to review memories of Voldemort in
the pensieve. Harry Potter does very well in school thanks to a book owned by "The Half Blood Prince" which he has found. This gives keys to making potions and casting curses.
Dumbledore and Harry visit a cave, where they feel they will find a Horcrux. This experience leaves Dumbledore in a weakened state, he had to drink a poison to get to the Horcrux, but they do discover what they think is the Horcrux. As they get back to Hogwarts, Draco has let death eaters into the school. He faces Dumbledore, but is not able to kill him, but Snape does kill him.
The last scene is Harry chasing Snape. He uses a curse from the book, and Snape says, don't use my own curses on me.
I enjoy all the Harry Potter movies. This movie is no exception. There is plenty of action. The movies keep getting a bit darker as we go along, and the murder of Dumbledore was not expected.
