In Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters are increasing their terror upon the Wizarding and Muggle worlds. Headmaster Albus Dumbledore persuades his old friend and colleague Horace Slughorn to return to Hogwarts as a professor as there is a vacancy to fill - however, there is a more important reason for Slughorn's return. While in a Potions lesson, Harry Potter takes possession of a strangely annotated school textbook, inscribed 'This is the property of the Half-Blood Prince', which contains astonishing information. Meanwhile, Dumbledore and Harry secretly work together to discover the method on how to destroy Voldemort once and for all. And as romance and hormones lurk within the castle's walls all year, Draco Malfoy struggles to carry out a deed presented to him by the Dark Lord.Yates also directed the sixth film, Half-Blood Prince, which many critics said was one of the best movies of 2009 and the funniest of the Potter films. He chose to place an obvious contrast on the film, keeping the theme of the book. Yates decided to go along with the element of humour in this film, as well as blending in the darker features. The sixth instalment is considered the 'art' film of the series, with the film being nominated at the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Cinematography. However, audiences have critically reviewed this film as having too much humour and romance and not enough dark material.
Purists have also expressed their dislike of omitted scenes and added scenes, but others have stated that the flow of the movie is exceptionally good and that the removal and adding of scenes was acceptable for cinematic purposes. The apparent mixture of light and dark factors also contributed to the film's success. Many have said that the sixth film is a huge improvement from the previous instalment, portraying a more stylish look, thus leading people to compare the film favorably to the third entry in the series, Prisoner of Azkaban, stating that it is a possible contender for the best Potter flick.
