Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is still the number one film in New Zealand.

The film's director, David Yates, who came on board with the previous film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , says the final book - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - will be released as two films. Part I comes out in November 2010 with Part II following in July 2011.

People need to treat the books and the movies separate. If you've read the books then of couse you'd be a bit disappointed by the movies and, lets be realistic, you can't fit everything from the book into a movie else it would be about 5 hours long.

My fav book was Deathly Hallows and I think the new movie looks better than the others.

As for people complaining about the CGI, well how else would you expect the director to show all the magic that happens. Magic is not real so they need to use special effects.

But, people are free to make their own mind up about these movies.

But how about we NOT get Kate Rogers to review the film as she seems to think that any movie that entertains people is awful.

Favourite Book was the Half Blood Prince; and each movie does get better for a number of different reasons. I thought the final book was disappointing in that opportunity to making the finale a watermark moment, instead limped to a safe conclusion that left me underwhelmed; a real shame given the overall brilliance of the preceding books.

Never read any of the books but have seen all the movies. Enjoy them, but they do seem to all follow the same plot- something like;

Harry is with his annoying muggle relatives. Something bad happens and he travels to Hogwarts in some magical way. There is a new teacher and fantastical course and a new mythical beast turns up. A mystery unfolds that Harry and his friends solve, and a bit more is revealed about Voldemort.

There did I get it all- see saved you $14 and three hours of your time
