Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is back on the big screen at Odeon Bournemouth BH2 on Sunday 4 October, with the screening starting at 11:30am. It's a re-release of the sixth film in the series, so it's a chance to see it in the cinema again rather than on a sofa.

If you've seen it before, you'll remember it's the one where the series starts to shift. It's the sixth instalment in the franchise, and it ventures into darker, more adult territory than the ones that came before it, while still finding room for humour and character development. The story picks up in the aftermath of a spectacular attack on London by Death Eaters, and from there it builds towards the death of a key character — a loss that sets the stage for the final confrontation between Harry and Lord Voldemort in the two-part finale, The Deathly Hallows.

It's a good spot to revisit if you're working your way through the whole run, as it bridges the gap between the earlier years at Hogwarts and the final showdown. The screening is at Odeon Bournemouth BH2, on Exeter Crescent, BH2 5AU, and it kicks off at 11:30am on Sunday 4 October.
