Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince, Darker and More Twisted

From the beginning until the end, harry potter and the half blood prince clearly pictured a gloomy, dark, intense situation in the magic world. Harry Potter clearly has evolved from all bright and shinny to this dark and terrorizing movie as the movie unfolded the darkest, deepest secrets of their own.


The movie started as Harry and the rest of the crew mourned for the death of Sirius Black. But it's just a tip in the iceberg, the real deal was the fact that the Death Eater had added the new member, Draco Malfoy, the son of Lucius Malfoy (a former Death Eater) and the antagonist of Hogwarts students.

Action packaged, fantasy was already offered from the beginning, leaving no time for us to be bored. Clearly, I found myself enjoying the scene where the Death Eater tried to invade London. It was stunningly haunting. The action scenes came with outstanding cinematography effects, making us truly imagine what actually happened


Back to the story, Harry or "The Chosen One" found himself frustrated but still looking out for some entertainment with his buddies, Ron and Hermione. Then, he found this book, The Half Blood Prince book that clearly brought him attention from the new potion teacher, Professor Slughorn. Dumbledore apparently asked Harry to dig up more information from Slughorn regarding his knowledge about Tom Riddle (the adolescence figure of Voldemort).


Speaking of Tom Riddle, it was so captivating to see him because he was so dark, scarily weird, and twisted but still brilliant. I think it's clearly explained about all of his cruel behavior, it's because of his greediness, wanting to have more life, the immortal one.


This film was special from the others because here, we saw the hormonal behavior of these all grown up teenagers. Like Ron dating neurotic Lavender, that acted more like a stalker than his girlfriend. Hermione, heartbroken because of Ron's relationship, realizing she wanted more than being good friends with Ron. Harry, finding crush with Ron's sister, Ginny. It's all about love, love, love :D

I feel that I have to say this as a precautionary that this movie is not suitable for children especially young one, because different from the other film, this one is darker, more twisted, and can be so terrorizing for the audience.

Overall, I value all the works done here and I gotta give it a two thumbs up for having one of the most twisted plot I've ever witnessed :D

Emma Watson is Teen Vogue Honey :)

Emma Watson graces the Teen Vogue as the "enchanted Emma". The 19-yr-old beauty is all grown up and putting up her best pose for the classic-themed photoshoot.


Here's what she has to say about:

On acting in the future:
"There's not, like, a burning passion in me that I have to act and I don't care what I do. Until something comes along that I feel as strongly about as I did Hermione—like, I felt that it was life or death—I don't want to act again."

On her personal style:
"I'm young, so I'm still experimenting. But I think [my style] is quite British and very much about individuality."

On boyfriend Jay Barrymore:
"The only reason it's 'on/off' is because the papers make up so much rubbish!"

On the paparazzi:
"[At my eighteenth birthday party] they laid down on the pavement and took pictures up my skirt. Now I'm going to wear cycling shorts whenever I get out of cars."

On taking fashion risks:

"There's nothing interesting about looking perfect—you lose the point. You want what you're wearing to say something about you, about who you are."

On her on-screen romance in The Half-Blood Prince:
"At the beginning, it looks like [Hermione and Ron are] on their way to finally being together, but of course Ron screws it up. So she's jealous, and doesn't quite realize it, and they have all these arguments."
