Okay then! The first review of an exclusive Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince screening is out, and yes, they were incredibly impressed. Here’s a few highlights from their review:

• Fans of the book will be pleased by Yates’ handling of the death of a major character. We won’t spoil the identity of who dies, but needless to say it’s a moving scene played with great grace and shock by the actor involved. Best get your hankies out. (yes, we all know it’s Dumbledore, and yes, I will be bringing my hanky!)
• Daniel Radcliffe’s anguish as Potter at the end is plain to see, and his vengeful face hints that the final film in the series (split into two parts) will have very little to laugh about. So best soak up the humour in this one, as we don’t think there will much in Deathly Hallows.

The review also said that there is a ton of mush in this movie, it’s like a magical soap opera but it’s done so well you don’t get tired of it. Also, the comedy is fantastic, apparently, and there were people laughing out loud, gasping, etc. in the theater – always a good sign!
