Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I just watched it, and I found it to be a very nice movie. The only bad thing was that they left out the final parts.

Everyone else in the theater screamed at the inferi part, but I was laughing. :p

I particularly liked how Draco Malfoy acted in this movie. It was excellent.

One more thing, why did they add the part about the Weasleys' house burning? That definitely was not in the book.

I agree. Malfoy was exceptional. It was actually pretty cool watching him.

I have no idea why the Weasly's house burned down. Where the ehll are they gonna stay next year (in the beginning). They could've filled that time up with some other stuff that happened in the book, like the apparating tests, more quidditch, etc.
 
They never did the dramatic things with quiddich (is that how it's spelled?) either. That was one of my favorite parts of the book, with the weasley song and everything. And what about Grawp? Or was that the last movie?
 
Grawp was in the last movie. And I believe they never actually make it to the Burrow in the seventh book, though the Order of the Phoenix does make an attempt to escort them there. My guess is they will skip that part, go straight to Scrimgeour giving them the gifts from Dumbledore's will and then go to the wedding reception

Yeah they do...Harry ends up at Tonk's house, and takes a portkey there. Then they find out George lost an ear and Moody died. But it still makes no sense, as the 7th movie has two parts. They should put in as much detail as they can.

Dang. All these spoiler tags...

Yeah, I thought it was funny how Dumbledore does the whole transition into Harry growing up and all that by saying he needs to shave. Also I have no idea what the whole random girl in the beginning was about, it was pretty retarded in my opinion. Next, the lines for Dumbledore suck, the real one would never say "do as I say" really aggressively like he did at the train station. He actually probably would have asked him if he wanted to stay.
 
I have so, so many issues with the script and story line I can't be bothered to list them all, but the ones that ticked me off the most were; 1) The lack of Tom Riddle + back story meaning that the search for Horcruxes is kind of impossible/nonsensical; 2) That Dumbledore said to Harry "you MUST do this, you have NO choice": the whole point is that Dumbledore simply lays a path for Harry to walk - it's always Harry's choice; 3) The dumbass scene with the Weasley's house being destroyed and the chase in the fields; 4) The last scene involving Harry + Hermione being all close and Ron sat in the background - not exactly team spirit? 5) The total lack of the battle from the tower; 6) The incredibly blatant nature of the job that Malfoy has. Throughout the book, you are meant to be guessing as to what he's doing - in the film, it's incredibly obvious.

Aside from that, the scene involving the Lake was really good :)

Also, Dumbledore should look less like Gandalf. It's quite distracting.
 
What was the lake scene?

The last scene where Ron was in the background kinda sets to mood for the next movie, where he ditches them. And that is just how Ron is.

the Inferi lake!

it's also meant to be a surprise that Ron leaves, and it's the horcrux that antagonises his basic nature, not his basic nature that makes him leave. Making him very obviously put out/left out before the 7th book/film has even started lessens the surprise/seriousness of Rons leaving.
And sorry/apologies for the amount of /'s :P

I know I sound quite aggressive, but I had high hopes!
 
I just came home from seeing the movie and I'd have to say that it was a big dissapointment.

I thought that the movie lacked some events such as the apparition class and along with Quiditch matches. Also, what happened to Mr. Gaunt and his daughter? The film could at least show Tom's parents. The part that was really dissapointing was the ending. Snape hits Harry twice with a spell and runs off? What happened to the battle? The Death Eaters just sneak into Hogwarts and run off without a fight? There also wasn't a Voldemort scene.

My brother, who hasn't read the book yet, thought that the movie was also a letdown, due to a horrible and short ending.

What most dictates wether you are going to like a Potter movie or not is the attitude you go into it with. If you are expecting it to be super close to the movie with nearly all of the details in their correct places, you are going to be let down. When adapting a book on to the big screen,the main goal is to get the main point of the book across since it would be nearly impossible to make a movie containing all the detail that is in a Potter book (I'm thinking about 5 hours).

When I think of the 6th book, I instantly think of the intorduction of horcruxes, Slughorn, Dumbledore dying, and relationships. Thats why I thought this movie was so great, because it truly focused on what I thought were the main ideas. I also think it sets up the 7th movies to the point where they can't be mediocre. They are either going to be stellar or pure s***, which is scary but awesome at the same time.
 
The funny thing is, I would actually watch a 5 hour harry potter movie if it meant they actually got the details right.

I would love to watch a 5 hour Harry Potter movie if they got the details right. But I think splitting the 7th one into two parts will be more enjoyable for the casual Harry Potter fans and be more profitable. (Twice the ticket sales)
