LONDON (Reuters) - "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the sixth out of eight movies in the boy wizard franchise, has stayed top of the UK box office for a second week with another huge take, Screen International said on Tuesday.

After setting an opening record of 19.8 million pounds, it added another 5.1 million over the weekend, keeping Sandra Bullock in Walt Disney's romantic comedy "The Proposal" down in second place on the film's British debut.

"Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," the third in the animated Ice Age series, slipped from second to third while Sacha Baron Cohen's "Bruno" was down one at four.

Lads' comedy "The Hangover" eased down one to five, with "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" also down one, to six.

"Public Enemies," starring Johnny Depp as the 1930s gangster John Dillinger was down from six to seven, while "My Sister's Keeper," featuring Cameron Diaz and Alec Baldwin, slipped a spot to eight.

Sci-fi movie "Moon," directed by David Bowie's son Duncan Jones, fell to ninth while director Lars von Trier's arthouse horror offering "Antichrist" was new at 10.
