Rita and I were out at the O2 for the Ne-Yo concert so we thought we’d kill two birds with one stone and see Harry Potter in the afternoon. There was a new director for this second last movie in the franchise and his style really told. I’ve said previously that the movies have been nowhere near as dark as the book and the Half-Blood Prince goes even further as to not even really have one moment which was truly scary. Instead the movie seemed to turn and focus on the relationships amongst the characters and in fact spent a substantial amount of the movie focused on the romance between the now nearly adult kids. The movie was extremely long and I have to admit falling asleep during one part of it though perhaps that was more to do with my being extremely tired but still. Critics appear to have universally loved the film claiming it has been the best one yet out of the franchise but I’m not convinced. I mean I didn’t even cry when Dumbledore died!
