Review: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

This is a review written by our PR Director, Joshua.

The latest of the Harry Potter series, Half Blood Prince, was comical yet it expressed the dangers of being the “the boy who lived.” Half Blood Prince arrived in theatres on Wednesday, July 15 and the fans of the series arrived at theatres Tuesday night shortly before the clock struck midnight to break the Dark Knight’s and all previous midnight showing records.

Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts to advance his mediocre magic skills in attempt to fight the rise of the dark arts. He who must not be named rise to power has created fear in the “muggle” community who can’t determine the cause of mysterious deaths and out of the ordinary catastrophic events. The wizarding world, aware of these events and who’s behind them, enters a state of fear. Protecting themselves is more important then ever as this world recognizes Voldemort’s return.

The magical school’s headmaster, Dumbledore, has surprises in store for Harry as he takes him into the depths of the dark arts and tells Harry how he must survive against Voldemort. Equipped with this knowledge and the support of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, Harry is preparing for storm. Multiple encounters with the “Dark Lord” and to have survived everyone, the wizarding world is calling Harry Potter, not only the boy who lived, but the “Chosen One.”
