6/10
Came out just as I had Expected... Book readers, "Avoid at all cost"...

Warning: Spoilers
I saw this movie recently and I want to save the other fans of Harry Potter readers from the misery I faced.

First things first, the good part about the movie. Excellent special effects. Wonderful music. Emma Watson as Hermione has matured very well and has done her role excellent. Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliff as Ron and Harry has fairly improved. Alan Rickman is at his best. Michael Gambon came as a surprise to me. In this movie his performance is far much improved than in the last 5 movies. That's it. These are the only good things about the book.

This movie is the worst adaptation of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince. I had to read this book 3 times to forget this disgusting movie. One of my favorite book in the entire series. How could they do this ? How could they just stand and wreck an amazing story. Why the hell should they extra scenes not available in the book and not add the important parts of the book. Those four deleted memories are very important. Also, the talk Dumbledore and Harry have after Harry retrieves the memory is very important too as they talk about the Horcruxes and the Prophecy. Also, a very important thing about Snape was deleted too. Ginny Weasley had an amazing role in the book but here in the movie it looks like she's added just for the romance. The Order of Phoenix members, where the hell are they in this movie ? They just disappeared. What happened to the new Minister of Magic ? Why the Dursley's are not here as again in that house Harry and Dumbledore have an important discussion.

Where is Kreacher ? How will Harry know what the other Horcruxes are ? How will Harry find the ring's connection to Voldemort ? How will Harry find the connection between the locket and Voldemort. How will Harry find out why Dumbledore trusts Snape when Dumbledore finally tells him the reason for his trust in Snape ? What happened to the Apparition Lessons which is very crucial to the 7th book. What happened to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes ? Why the hell should the burrow get burned down when it's not in the book. This is suppose to be a dark movie. Why does is look like cheesy comedy flick ? Did the creators read the book at all ?

This movie is nothing more than a mess. It's totally confused. Since I have already read the book I can see the way it was cluttered. I assume you guys are familiar with Kid's picture play puzzle tiles. That's what this movie is. A toy puzzle tiles. A very poor attempt at making a brilliant movie with an amazing plot. Highly disappointed. Very much disappointed. I just can't begin to wonder how they are going to exploit the 7th book (which they will do and already did) as they can't possibly exploit anymore worse than this.

In short, this movie came out just as I have expected. It totally sucks. This movie is for those who haven't read the book. They will enjoy it. Not the book readers.

I give it 6 just for Emma Watson, Music and special effects...

My order of movie rating in HP Series:-

1. Sorcerer's Stone - 8/10

2. Chamber Of Secrets - 7.8/10

3. Goblet Of Fire - 7/10

4. Prisoner Of Azkaban - 6.5/10

5. Order Of Phoenix - 6.2/10

6. Half-Blood Prince - 6.1/10
