Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

The media at large claims this 6th movie is darker and more serious than the previous ones. Translation: slow. Very few truly essential events happen to Harry this time around. There’s a lot of teen angst. Lots of snogging. Possibly some wanking. Though it’s funny to see Ron befuddled by a love spell, it’s pretty frivolous when your best friend, the chosen one, must shoulder the responsibility of killing the most evil wizard who ever lived. For his part, Harry listens well to Dumbledore and follows his orders, but it’s hard to tell if that sways the price of tea in China. I’ve stopped reading the books, so I don’t know what’s going to happen from this point on. I only hope something exciting happens with Snape. Rowling et al have MILKED his shiftiness and mysteriousness to death ten times over. It better pay off, or I’m going to be CHEESED to high heaven!
