The “Half-Blood Prince” brings the Hogwarts back the giant screen and in the new film, Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is colored by two truths: Lord Voldemort is wreaking havoc on much of Britain and teenage hormones are fully raging. In the film, Harry finds a mysterious potions book bearing the inscription, "Property of the Half-Blood Prince." He begins to explore its custom-made instructions and spells, excelling at creating the potions, but also learning about the ambiguity of magic. Professor Dumbledore also takes Harry on a journey through memory lane to unravel the mystery of Voldemort's past, and later, his immortality. Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was…and with love in the air, but tragedy looming ahead, Hogwarts may never be the same again.
“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” is directed by David Yates and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film is rated PG for scary images, some violence, language and mild sensuality. The film runs approximately two hours and 34 minutes.
