I like judging the Harry Poter films more as films, not always as adaptations. When the film requires it to, it gets darker and more menacing, which I also thought was balanced very nicely with the tone of the book. It has a lot of whimsical, light and genuinely funny moments, which I thought were brilliant and stayed true to the book. This Potter film is the first to actually make me smile and laugh along with it. In Half-Blood Prince, Yates directs with much larger confidence and maturity, one that is shown much throughout the film. David Yates is back directing the 6th film after the fantastic Order of the Phoenix, which I thought he created a much more moodier and grittier Harry Potter adaptation. It shows the danger of the world that everyone lives in now that Voldemort is back. The opening sequence I loved and I was glad that the writers would include such a scene. It cuts some of the Horcruxes that are talked about, and some of the memories of Tom Riddle, but even without them, this is an incredibly powerful film. First off, the film does cut a lot of things out. Half-Blood Prince is my favorite of the first 6 books, and now I can say that the film is as well. I have always been a big fan of Harry Potter, both the books and the films.
