Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Special Edition
(2 Disc Set)
This special 2 Disc Set also includes a free Digital Copy of the film.
Emboldened by the return of Lord Voldemort, the Death Eaters are wreaking
havoc in both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe
haven it once was. Harry suspects that new dangers may lie within the castle,
but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he
knows is fast approaching. He needs Harry to help him uncover a vital key to
unlocking Voldemort's defences, critical information known only to Hogwarts'
former Potions Professor, Horace Slughorn. With that in mind, Dumbledore
manipulates his old colleague into returning to his previous post with promises
of more money, a bigger office…and the chance to teach the famous Harry
Potter.
Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as
teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry's long friendship with Ginny
Weasley is growing into something deeper, but standing in the way is
Ginny's boyfriend, Dean Thomas, not to mention her big brother Ron. But
Ron's got romantic entanglements of his own to worry about, with Lavender Brown
lavishing her affections on him, leaving Hermione simmering with jealousy yet
determined not to show her feelings. And then a box of love potion-laced
chocolates ends up in the wrong hands and changes everything.
As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof with far more important
matters on his mind. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love
is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the
same again.

- " Simultaneously the most mature and the most entertaining; the days of
playful sorcery and lighthearted misadventures are long gone. " –
Mike Massie
- " While we've always seen touches of brilliance in Radcliffe's work,
the most surprising growth comes in the performances of Rupert Grint and Emma
Watson. " – Richard Propes
- " Director David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves crafted a
challenging and decidedly mature film that paves the way perfectly for the
two-part finale. " – Leigh Paatsch
