Harry Potter and the Half-Slept Audience

J.K. Rowling, the famous Brit Novelist behind the phenomenal Harry Potter series ensnared the world once more via her top-selling 6th book turned movie "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", stars U.K's richest teenboy Daniel RadCliffe. As projected, the latest installment akin to its predecessors, had ruled and raked money in the Box office.

But I Guess not after reading this, or after you watching it,….

Been ages since I last critic or bombard a giant film. I was kind of wheelchair-bound in doing so for no apparent reason. Albeit the fact I’d spent an exorbitant amount of moolah (in pesos, dollars & dirhams) - more than enough to buy hundred kilos of NFA rice for my family’s family - just to freaking amuse or to forget myself at least for a day there in the company of big screen.

But not making me or my friends sleep and snore inside,…

Much as my riveting Title for the same had spoken loudly for itself, I find it “timeworthy” to surface from my usual hibernation and reunite myself anew in doing what other fellow blogers are very good, [and like me] are very bad in doing - Movie Review. Heck, I need to eschew now from throwing too many flowery words to heighten the movie’s creepy beckon on one’s dying wallet. So for those of you who’d ear-on its by-mouth review, you know what I mean. While for those of you who had seen it on the silver screen, you knew you’d just, - ugh, drained-down your hard-earned bucks in w/c you better save during this cost-cutting times.

But Harry and the Half-Blood Prince not all dark, bad and bland,….

I am armoring myself now from the ire of Harry’s legion of delirious Fans who would die for his and his cohort’s broomsticks and magical wands. The movie, san the countless snore-inducing epilogue, could however fill your eyes in those stunning special effects, such as the 'Death Eaters' pocking the gray skies. I cant help but marvell as well the breathtaking medieval-theme settings and props. Saved likewise by the veteran artist of yesteryears, led by the wizzard boy's Nemesis No. 1, the EvilLord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) who became more notorious in his signature wig hair (rebonded i suppose) and the granny stage actor who just came out of the closet, the great Prof Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) who was massacred by the former with the helping hand of skeletal Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) - Harry's Nemesis No. 2. The other bunch of young English Actors also did their role well as Teenagers possessed with magic, potion, and raging hormones. Evidently, the teenage sorcerers grew up very fast - smarter, riper, stronger, but not the same CUTE kiddoe's anymore.

But then again,

Seeing Harry and Hermione’s (Emma Watson) BestFriend RON (Rupert Grint) “unfriendly” countenance on-screen triggers the audience to nap all the more as if they are inside their own house. Ron's "under-the-dosage" facial expressions and big almond eyes is infecting, or to rephrase: annoying. Like a sleepy spell so hard to resist. Dang!, those snores and bended heads around me are pretty distracting. I should stay in the cinema's front seat next time. :D

Rating: 3 zzzsnoring stars.
