On the Set of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - ComingSoo. We've been waiting patiently to reveal the details of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince set we visited early last year and we can now finally tell you about our experiences on the sixth film. In January 2008, ComingSoon.net was sent to London to hang out on the set for a day and chat with the cast. It was a chilly morning when we woke up around 7am to get ready, but we were so excited to see the set that it didn't matter how cold it was. We bundled up and hopped on a shuttle to Leavesden Studios, which is about an hour outside of London. When we arrived, we were greeted by the publicist of the movie and taken to the press area where it was decorated with the Weasley family Christmas tree decked out with various ornaments and beautifully-wrapped fake presents were placed underneath. While the latest installment of the franchise has more adult humor and been called the most comical, it's also considered to be the darkest movie out of all the "Potter" films.
"It's quite volatile. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Review - Read Variety's A. Kids’ stuff is a thing of the past in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” Suddenly looking quite grown up, the students at Hogwarts are forced to grapple with heavy issues of mortality, memory and loss in this sixth installment in the series of bigscreen adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s Potter tales. Dazzlingly well made and perhaps deliberately less fanciful than the previous entries, this one is played in a mode closer to palpable life-or-death drama than any of the others and is quite effective as such. Delayed by Warner Bros. from a late 2008 release date so as to spread the wealth after “The Dark Knight” scored so mightily last summer, this “Prince” is poised to follow its predecessors as one of the year’s two or three top-earning films.
While Harry remains mindful of his status as the “Chosen One,” he is not entirely exempt from the lusts, jealousies and intrigues that preoccupy his fellow teenagers as never before.
