Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

In the fall of 2009, Harry Potter fans had devoured the last book of the series two years previously and all they had left to look forward to were the last three films since the last book was to be broken into two movies.

In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by fellow Auror Megan Calcote to talk about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. We discuss the opening of the movie, the changes from the book, Slughorn, love in the air, Draco’s trial, Harry’s care for his friends and our ratings.
