I’m sure there’s other things happening but I find it hard to focus on anything else but the creepy-ass Ginny Weasley and the chemistry void that is her growing relationship with our hero Harry. Enough bourbon and I can finally look beyond it. The amazing plot contrivance that is a horcrux gives our heroes objects to seek out and destroy, so they can finally put an end to ol’ Morty Vold and his stupid snake face. Of course, there’s still two more outings in this franchise so them horcruxes are gonna take a little bit of effort to uncover. The main chunk of the film deals with a dastardly plot that’s been placed in the reluctant hands of Draco Malfoy and a promise made by Snape to guarantee its success. New potions teacher Horace Slughorn (fuck me, Jim Broadbent is a national treasure no matter what nation he calls home) makes a habit of “collecting” famous and powerful students (not like as a villain, just as like an old British dude who enjoys name dropping) so of course he’s eager to get Potter on his good side, which is exactly what Dumbledore wants because Slughorn has a secret that will give them a leg up in the oncoming war. Weiner king Ron Weasley gets a girlfriend, Hermione Granger gets upset and Harry Potter gets placed in excessively horrifying situations. Rickman gives a brilliant performance as his predicament begins to force his hand and a major turning of the tide knocks the wind out of ya.
