Yes, I know I'm going to get grilled for this post. So please, be kind when you comment.
I LOVED HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE! There, I said it. Hate me if you will, but I thought HP 6 was THE best movie in the series so far. It was so much lighter in content than the other movies, which I really enjoyed because, really, you can only take so many intense action sequences. I have to say that I think my favorite part was when Harry drank the liquid luck. Daniel Radcliffe was so good, and I just ate those scenes up! Also, I loved the way they directed Hermione's crush on Ron, and Harry's crush on Ginny, and how Herimone and Harry's friendship grew so much. Overall, David Yates, the director, did so much better with HP 6 than he did with HP 5 (which we all know was terrible; although, I admit, he didn't really have much to work with).
I have three issues with this movie:
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
1) The relationship between Harry and Ginny began WAY too early in my opinion. And the whole Harry and Ginny scene in the Room of Requirement--WAY over the top. Although, I must say that Ron's use of a double meaning right after Harry and Ginny almost make-out was CLASSIC!
2) Bella burns down the Weasly house at Christmas--What was THAT all about?
3) And where the heck was the epic battle at the end?!
That being said, I still get chills just thinking about how AMAZING this movie was.
*Sorry for the excessive use of all-caps; sometimes, it's the only way an emotion can be expressed.

I thought there was WAYYYYYYY too much of the teen romance going on. I wanted more fighting! And starting the whole Ron/Hermione thing now kinda stole book 7's thunder! And what was with them just walking away at the end without the fighting? And why was Fenrir Grayback (that's his name, right?) cut out so much? And they didn't focus nearly as much as the book did on the half-blood prince, so it was very random when Snape comes out with it in the end. So you're the Half-Blood Prince. Who cares? Having said all that, I did really enjoy it. I don't think it was my fave (#1 and #3 are so good!), but the horcrux scene was flippin' awesome. Definitely worth owning.
+1 to everything Chelsey said. Especially the zombie-burning fiery vengeance in the cave. Double awesome.
