No surprise here. 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' topped the box office this weekend with an estimated $79.5 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo.comSince opening with sold-out midnight screenings on July 15, the sixth installment in the "Harry Potter" series has taken in nearly $160 million at the domestic box office.
The new "Harry Potter" film is running head of the last installment, 2007's "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," but based on BoxOfficeMojo.com projections, it does not appear it will eclipse "Transformers 2" at the top box-office draw of 2009.
Here are this week's Top 5 films based on studio estimates. Final totals will be released Monday evening.

I was disappointed in the fact that they didn't spend enough time on why the movie is called THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE. They didn't show how obsessed Harry became with the book, nor did they show how Snape became suspicious of him having the book, or the true identity behind the book. Snape may have been the Half-Blood Prince but the movie didn't reveal why or how, or the fact that the book belonged to his mother 50 years prior, and the fact that Snape is "half-blood" and no one expected that. The movie just very flatly announced at the end that Snape was the Half-Blood Prince, period - the end. My favorite still remains HP3: Prisoner of Azkaban.
Being a great fan I have collected a list of good sites and articles (may be around 200) related to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (movie information, movie schedule, movie reviews, books, games, news, wallpapers and many more). If you are interested take a look at the below link

Great Great Great Successful Movies, I like Harry very much when he was a little boy but when many series pass then i start to like Ron more... cause he is a great friend for harry and he look funny and sometimes do something silly too.
