Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was on July 17, 2009. It is directed by David Yates with appearance from actress Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. This, like many other scenes from Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliff) is a true representation of how frivolous the human imagination can become. Time has passed since the first release of Harry Potter and the characters have matured in a sense, but the story line is nothing more than a script pumped with words to get a show on the road.
It will be Harry’s sixth year at Hogwarts and much expectation and excitement is in the year. As the teenagers have grown over the years, the script makes an attempt to accompany such development with crushes here and there. Romance can be felt in the air with Harry falling for Ginny Weasley, but she already has a relationship with Harry’s classmate, Dean Thomas. Harry, however, is not the only one that cupid has managed to shoot with an arrow- Ron will be dating Lavemder Brown, a fun loving girl.
With private lessons from Professor Dumbledore and the mysterious Potions book that Harry found, which originally belonged to the Half-Blood Prince, Harry will embark on yet another ‘ magical adventure’ to improve his magic and uncover the dirty secrets of Voldemort’s past. All of this is done with the intention to find the smallest of detail that could eventually compromise this villain and defeat him in the process. 
As most villains honor themselves with someone to do the dirty work, Harry will experience great frustration from Draco Malfoy’s antics as he goes about to do the will of Voldemort. From a small hush in the horizon to a blatant appearance, Verdemont will slowly rise in power offering much resistance to the young magician and his group of friends.
Most of Harry Potter’s scenes take place in a classroom. After quite a bit of releases it is time to get out of the classroom and face the big world. It will be more enthusiastic to watch Harry’s Graduation Day or even Harry In The Big World, than a see the same script being pulverized and molded into the same material, only rephrased with a little special effects here and there.
For an adult, Harry Potter does not offer much action to keep one pinned to his seat and begging to see more. It is more of a scratch on the surface of movie making that has somehow managed to get enough viewers in its magic hat. The only people that will benefit from seeing yet another dull script from Harry Potter are children that are enthused about the world of magic. The scenes will be yet another sorry cry of originality that leaves one exclamation in the air, O.K. so what’s the big deal!
There comes a time to just throw in the towel and call it a day. The first moment that Harry Potter lived when it was first released, was one of magic and awe, but if the directors rinse this script anymore, then it is bound to come out with a bit of holes!
