Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince (movie review)

Going on dates is getting expensive!  I spent $18 for tickets, $20 on a babysitter, and because my wife didn’t eat dinner before the movie $10 on a medium drink and popcorn! That is the LAST time we’ll do movies like that again.

Okay, enough with the rant. Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince (or HPATHBP) broke away from the pack of Potter films with this new entry. The mystery element fast-paced action of past movies both took a back seat to an element that was only touched upon in most of the other movies:  relationships. It was something that both the book and the movie took a chunk of time out to focus on and, for the most part, it worked.
