Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

"Harry is better than ever, a triumph of visual wonder and emotional storytelling.
Only Muggles, who wouldn't know Slytherin from Gryffindor, will dismiss it as kid stuff."
Peter Travers / Rolling Stone

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching.

Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

The film has been digitally converted into IMAX with select scenes in 3D. The film features proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology.
