Harry Potter The Half Blood Prince
Movie Pages
http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/
Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding
worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry
suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is
more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is
fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock
Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old
friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant
Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.
Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different
adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds
himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And
Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't
counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione,
simmering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As
romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make
his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead
and Hogwarts may never be the same again.Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a 2009 fantasy-adventure film based on the novel of the same name by J. K. Rowling. It is the sixth film in the Harry Potter film series. It is directed by David Yates, the director of the fifth film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. David Heyman and David Barron produced the film, and Steve Kloves, screenwriter of the first four films, returned as screenwriter for this film.
Filming began on 24 September 2007, and the film was released in
cinemas worldwide on 15 July 2009. Unlike the previous film, the sixth
film was not simultaneously released in regular cinemas and IMAX 3-D in all countries, due to a Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen several week commitment. The film will instead be released in IMAX 3D on 29 July, two weeks after its original release, in these countries.
The film opened to critical acclaim and commercial success, and broke The Dark Knight's
record for biggest midnight opening gross of all time as well as
biggest single-day worldwide gross of all time. In five days the film
went on to break the record for biggest five-day worldwide gross in
history. The film is dedicated to the memory of actor Rob Knox, who portrays Marcus Belby in the film and was killed in May 2008. |
