Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince (dir. Yates)
Expected Release Date: 17th July
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint et al
Studio: Warner Bros
The sixth installment of the worldwide phenomenon that is JK Rowling’s Harry Potter returns to our screens this forthcoming July. It will have been a full two years since Order Of The Phoenix was released in July 2007, the longest gap between any of the films in the series.
The Half Blood Prince was originally slated to be released in late 2008 but the gargantuan success of The Dark Knight allowed Warner Bros to spread their eggs in several baskets, so to speak.
So what can we expect from The Half Blood Prince? Well, since Prisoner of Azkaban (the third book in the seven book series) each impending installment has introduced darker themes greatly tailored for adults. Of course, having previously directed Order Of The Phoenix, director Yates has the opportunity to push several boundaries which he himself constructed in the fifth film.
The plot as many of you will know involves the death of another major character and the continuation of the ever growing maturity spurt of the three leads. The Half Blood Prince involves arguably the most indispensible plot threads of the whole seven book series and having decided to split the final chapter, The Deathly Hollows, into two separate films there is an argument that the same could have been done here.
Ultimately, Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince is in safe hands with each film steadily improving on the previous.
Stand up and incessantly clamor for what will undoubtedly be the BIGGEST film of the year.
