With young Harry Potter having already gone through so much, it would be disheartening if more tragedies were to occur to The Boy Who Lived. But it is something that he just can’t seem to avoid. The J.K. Rowling book, on which the sixth Harry Potter film is based on, is considerably darker but much more interesting than the previous instalment, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
After the Harry’s standoff with Lord Voldemort, Hogwarts is no longer a safe place for him. He voices his concern to Dumbledore about Voldermort’s ever-expanding grip on both the Muggle and Wizards’ world reaching even the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but Dumbledore is more concerned about getting Harry ready for the battle that is, without a doubt, pending. Luckily for Harry, he can count on his friends – Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger – to stand by him no matter how dangerous the situation. The film also explores Lord Voldemort’s dark past.
Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson reprise their most famous roles along with Helena Bonham Carter, David Bradley, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Tom Felton, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Natalia Tena, David Thewlis and Evanna Lynch.
Joining the cast are Jim Broadbent (as Potions Professor Horace Slughorn, who gives Harry an old Potions textbook that once belonged to the Half-Blood Prince), Helen McCrory (as Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy’s mother and sister to the evil Bellatrix Lestrange) and Jessie Cave (as Lavender Brown who is interested in Ron Weasley).
