Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince; the sixth film in the eight-part series, takes a turn as Voldemort tightens 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. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
This movie is definitely for those who have grown up with Harry Potter, it is not all fantasy adventure in this movie. With our favourite Wizards and Witches growing up, we have all had to as well...
Director of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, David Yates also directed Order of the Phoenix and is working on the seventh adaptment of the series- which is based on the seventh book, but split into two movies. Paul Fisher asked Yates about the seventh and eighth adaptment of the series: "You know, the great thing about doing the last book over two movies, is there isn't a major set piece that we're taking out. But again, rhythmically, that works. It works across two films. It's got a pattern to it that feels satisfying, and right to us. And one of the reasons for doing two reasons is - the first is - you know, we always get knocked a little bit for taking things out. And I understand that. You know, some of the fans would wish we could make five hour movies. And if we had the budgets to do that, we would. And the second reason is - you know, we did a list of everything that we wanted to include in the last film, and basically the studio did a breakdown, a budget. And it would have been the most expensive movie in history, by a mile, because there were so many major set pieces in it. And the studio goes, "Even we can't afford this in one hit. If you can make it into two movies, you can have two big budgets." So, the only way I can do the adaptation I wanted to, is by spreading the costs across two movies."
