Good movie, but it seemed sort of rushed. I never read the book so I don’t know if they’re skipping out on some stuff but it sure seemed like they were.
Hi Gibran,
Yes, I agree it did seem rushed — however, the movie is 153 minutes long — go figure. That’s 2.5 hours of film — Half-blood Prince covered a lot of story from the book.
I have read the book. Of course, books are not movies and the movie will be different from the book. I really recommend reading J.K. Rowling books. They are, in a way, different stories from the movies. They are very enjoyable and page turners.

Great News!! Congratulations to the team who made Harry Potter the half blood prince so special.
Yes, congratulations is in order! I can’t wait until the next two films. I’d love to see how the director shoots the final chapters of the book – they are special momemts and beautifully written by Rowling.
