Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was a big shock of my life. Having watched all the five films before, I carried greater expectatons from this movie, but all in vain. I evidenced the effects of financial crisis on the movie. As not much graphics, animation, cinematography were seen in this movie compared to the previous ones. If you are an ardent Harry Potter fan, then do watch this movie to understand the final movie - "Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows" which happens to be the epilogue of the series.
