And the critics like the latest Potter movie: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It has a 98% rating from Rotten Tomatoes, which gathers the reviews of multiple critics. They're describing the film as dark, romantic, funny, respectful to the book, emotional, visually stunning and of course magical. I can already hear the strains of John Williams's score in my head. Maybe I'm so excited because the movie was originally supposed to come out in November, but for reasons unknown (ahem, Twilight, ahem, money) it was delayed until July.
This movie is rated a more family friendly PG, whereas the last two were both PG-13. I'll be going to see it in IMAX on Sunday, but if any of you nightowls see it tonight at midnight, drop us a line with your own review.
Enjoy this pic from the premiere. Who knew the Weasley twins weren't naturally ginger? When did Neville become a cutie? (And maybe got some braces?) And "Draco" smiles, sorta.
