Out Now: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Eight years and six movies later you would think the popularity of the Harry Potter locomotive would have begun to wane at least a couple of years back.

But unlike other popular franchises which keep churning out films until the point they're so bad that they never get a cinema release anymore, Harry Potter still knows how to draw a crowd despite many fans giving the latest edition very mixed reviews.

Many fans have dubbed the film 'Harry Potter and the teenage hormones' and you don't have to watch very long to figure out why.

The characters seem to spend more time trying to get-off with love interests who are attracted to others rather than them than actually trying to save the wizarding world and the human world from utter destruction. They also seem more content playing Quidditch than stopping the end of the world.

The story revolves around Harry Potter being left disillusioned since his visit to the Ministry of Magic in the previous film with the evil Voldemort and wanting to drop out of school. However, he is encouraged back by some of his peers.

All the while strange smoke creatures that bare a similar resemblance to the smoke monster on Lost attack London and kidnap a wand maker by the name of Mr. Ollivander.

Harry's rival Severus Snape becomes drawn into the dark arts and Harry and Dumbledore learn that Voldemort is someone one again at large...for the sixth time.

If you're not read any of the books this movie will likely leave you confused. Fans who follow Harry Potter religously will also be disappointed by this latest helping. But you can look on the bright side, one more film and this dead donkey will finally hit the floor.
