Blu Ray Screencaps of Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince.
Guillermo Del Toro was asked to direct this film but turned it down as he wanted to work on Hellboy II and it's a shame as i feel Del Toro could have added so much to the Harry Potter films especially with his fantastic eye for visuals and unique imagination.
I felt the music score for this film could have been a lot better and the sound mix just wasn't aggressive enough but this is typical for a Harry Potter film where i feel they do just enough to please people but never go the extra mile to make the film truly spectacular. It's interesting that a scene that wasn't in the book where the Death Eaters attack The Burrow is actually the most entertaining part of the movie.
I have not any other Harry Potter films in HD so can only comment on this one and i felt this was a good transfer. No issues stuck out to me and it looks film like.
There is a lot of darkly lit scenes and these come across well on blu ray and i suspect Warner have given us the best possible encode. I also think that all of these movies will be released in special extended editions in a few years time.
The sound mix only ever came alive in a few scenes and it just felt like it was lacking something. I thought the music score was not that good and a film series which earns Warner billions should have a much better and more memorable music score. Perhaps i am being too harsh as it does sound better than a number of films and the darker nature of these later films come across well with this particular style of cinematography, i have added this film to the reference list which you can view by clicking here. A region free release.
