Critics Corner: Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince. SPOILER ALERT!!! DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT AND PLAN TO!

I should have posted this a long time ago. I saw it the first day it came out, like the Potterhead I am, and I meant to write a reveiw on it some time ago. Oh well.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, like all its predicessors, is my nominee for film of the year (Sorry, Star Trek). My only complaint is that it wasn't as good as the book, but most movies based on books aren't. And this one was pretty dang close. My favorite part was when Ron was in the hospital wing and Hermione was there holding his hand, even though he was dating Lavender and then she storms in.... all just right what the lines were.

LAVENDER: Where is he?!? Were is my Won-Won?! It's okay, Won-Won, I'm here.
HERMIONE: What are you doing here?
LAVENDER: Me? I happen to be his girlfriend! What are you doing here?
HERMIONE: I happen to be his..........friend.
RON: (incoherant mumbling) (ron is unconcious)
LAVENDER: There, see? He senses my presence. What is it Won-Won?
RON: Her...mio....ne. Her......mione...Hermione.
Lavender runs out of the room crying while hermione smiles triumphantly.

Though, I wished the Harry/Ginny kiss would have lasted longer. Overall, the best Potter yet!
