Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemorts defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, Harry discovers an old book marked mysteriously "This book is the property of the Half-Blood Prince" and begins to learn more about Lord Voldemort's dark past.

I just got this one in a DVD/Blu-ray combo this past month. Which is one of the reasons I started to watch the series this weekend. As I was looking forward to watching one on Blu-ray and knew I had to watch these in order. I can't say this one is a favorite compared to the rest of the series... but it is enjoyable. It is worth the time you put in to watch it. I would say if you are a fan of the earlier films you will want to see this one too. I can't comment on how it compares to the book as I never read any of the books.

Unfortunately this is the last Harry Potter film I have in my collection. I still need to get the final two parts to complete my collection. Hopefully I will be able to do that before too long.

Plot:
In this classic TV sitcom, Gordon Brittas (Chris Barrie) is the manager of Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre. He means well, wants to do well and wants to be a good manager. Unfortunatly his best talent is to continually create recipes for total disaster.

Deep down Brittas cares about his staff, but all he ever seems to do is to make their lives more difficult. Trying to rise above this, and to keep the Leisure Centre running smoothly, is his assistant Laura (Julia St John).

Behind every good man, so the saying goes, is a good woman, and behind every maniac, is a good woman losing her sanity! Helen Brittas (Philippa Haywood) is no different as she struggles to cope with the mania of her husband.
