Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince continue the popular tale begun in J.K. Rowling’s best-selling Harry Potter book series. As the war-torn world of Harry Potter erupts into darkness, a dark figure rises from the ashes of Britain to claim her birthright – absolute power. But what lies beyond the bloody battle is a secret that will change not only Harry’s world but the lives of everyone else involved. The latest movie in the Harry Potter franchise continues the story of the young wizard as he searches for the answer to the one question that he knows is there, the question that has destroyed his heart and will now destroy the future of humanity.
As death eaters wreak destruction in both Muggle and Wizard domains, Hogwarts is no longer a secure sanctuary for students. Even though Dumbledore believes that there are no more dangers lurking inside the castle walls, he is only able to rest until a tragic accident takes place. When the unexpected happens, it is too late for everyone except Harry who makes his way into the chamber of secrets where he finds a horrid memorial stone surrounded by a blood-red marble. The stone glows red and alerts everybody that there is a horrible situation brewing. Now, instead of protecting the world, Harry must find the person responsible for his parents’ deaths and destroy the dark wizard behind it before it is too late.
This newest installment of the Harry Potter series is much darker than any of the previous movies. Fans of the book have expected this and some people may be upset that the story is not told in the same manner as the previous movies. I am here to tell you that the Half-Blood Prince is a very dark film. The movie was shot with much more skill than any of the previous Harry Potter films. The special effects are very realistic and can’t be denied that they are done very well.
I would have to say that the main reason why most people are disappointed with the ending of the movie is that they thought that more could have been done with the character of Lord Voldemort. I don’t think that Harry Potter is a bad movie by any means, but I do believe that people are dissatisfied with the ending because they are expecting more from the story. People expect the best story and the most unbelievable set of circumstances. They are not getting what they expect and are instead of being disappointed. This is not a sign of a good movie and is definitely one of the signs that a movie is not going to be successful.
If you want to be successful, you have to have a very good story and a good cast of characters. This is what made the Harry Potter series so popular in the first place. People were attracted to the magic and wonder of the wizarding world. They wanted to escape the everyday, normal life and put themselves into the world of Harry Potter. Unfortunately, in most cases, this does not happen.
The problem is that most movies fail because the director or studio made a big-budget movie and failed to produce anything worth seeing. A cheap movie is not a good movie and most of the movies that have been released in the past fifteen years have not been box office successes. Sometimes the movie is bad and other times it is good, but overall it is not a good movie and should never have been made in the first place. Please consider this in 2020.
