Directed by David Yates and written by Steve Kloves based on the work of J.K. Rowling, the film stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson. Released in France on July 15, 2009, this sixth installment of the saga will be broadcast on TF1 on November 25, 2025, at 9:10 p.m.
The story follows Harry as he faces the rise of Voldemort, while the wizarding world suffers an intensification of attacks. Hogwarts loses its protective status and becomes a battleground where secrets, fragile alliances, and war strategies intersect. Dumbledore engages Harry in an investigation targeting the past of young Tom Riddle, in order to identify a decisive element held by Professor Slughorn.
At the same time, the students' daily lives are marked by the tensions of adolescence. Complex relationships, jealousy, and rivalries punctuate the school year. Within the castle, one student pursues a disturbing mission, causing a rift that threatens the school's equilibrium until the dramatic dénouement.
The film is produced by Warner Bros. and marks the continuation of David Yates' collaboration with the franchise, which began with the fifth installment. Filming took place mainly in the United Kingdom, between studios and natural settings. The cast brings together the iconic actors of the saga. Steve Kloves adapts another of the novels after having worked on most of the previous scripts. The production highlights the use of enhanced visual techniques to illustrate the dark evolution of the story.
The tone is somewhere between fantasy intrigue and coming-of-age drama. The film is aimed at audiences who enjoy magical worlds, evolving stories centered on the struggle against a major antagonist, and narrative worlds built on collective and personal stakes.
