Alan Rickman plays Snape to perfection, much as it would have been fun to see him momentarily lose his cool. I hope this nails the lid on the doubters. Michael Gambon is wonderful in this turn as the greatest wizard Dumbledore.
A small downside of this is there is less room for some of the best talent in the UK, many of whom merely supply the garnish on a good meal. Harry's fancying Ginny and Ron's troubles between Lavender and Hermione round out the film.
The sub-plots surrounding this are delightful. This enhances the idea posited back in the 2nd film and book. Dumbledore actively wants Harry to act more like Tom in an attempt to defeat him. What interested me most about the way this is played out are the quiet similarities presented between Harry and Tom Riddle. To do this, Harry has to get close to Professor Slughorn (played with aplomb by Jim Broadbent). In the sixth Harry Potter, Harry works with Dumbledore to unlock a key secret about Voldemort. David Yates continues from where he left Order of the Phoenix, arguably the weakest of the seven books but one of the stronger films. I have enjoyed all of the films to varying degrees all for different reasons. For some they are too long, for some not enough. I have never experienced the films without having read the books first so I cannot comment on how hard it is to follow any of them. Everyone has their favorites, or hates the films in general. Some people read the books, some haven't. Everyone comes from different points of view when they go in to see these films. If you peruse enough of them, you'll notice that "lack of nit-picks" is a substitute for praise. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - A footnote: Funny thing about Harry Potter reviews.
