Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
2009
The sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry kicks off with a bang for young Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) when he inadvertently discovers a mysterious book that sheds light on the sordid life of the evil Lord Voldemort. Preparing for inevitable battle, Harry and Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) turn to professor Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent) for help in pinpointing the weakness in Voldemort's forces.
Synopsis compliments of Netflix
Opening with gratuitous, unrelated harassment of muggles - this film was okay, but felt simple compared to previous titles. A lot of time was spent on love/"growing up" storyline, catering to a teen audience. Like Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, left very open-ended
