#23A - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: REVIEW SERIES

This week on The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast, we’re diving back into our Review Series with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! Not long to go now...


Like with the previous films—and likely the ones ahead—we’re splitting our review into two parts. In Part 1, we’ll break down Act 1, and in Part 2 (dropping first thing tomorrow), we’ll tackle Acts 2 and 3, followed by our final thoughts and scores.


We’re analysing this film scene by scene, act by act, and rating it on a scale of 1 to 10. Half-Blood Prince is a divisive chapter in the series—some love its humor and lighter tone, while others crave more depth and substance.


Join us as we unpack, critique, and rank this instalment in the Wizarding World!
