Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince....

Copying and pasting from my blog:

I decided to watch it not caring about the mistakes and the possible differences between the movie and the book, and I enjoyed it very much, except the last 20 minutes (for obvious reasons). All I didn't like was the way they showed Malfoy's storyline.

The humor was awesome, I loved Ron so much! I didn't mind the extra scenes for the humor because IMHO the producers also see that the story has turned into something that's not for children anymore, so I guess they needed something that is a little less serious than the entire storyline. Slunghorn's faces were AWESOME. Ahahaha. He cracked me up.

The young Denem was frighteningly awesome. Both of them, hehe, but mainly the older one. His face was so beautiful and so scary at the same time! I loved his eyes.

Dumbledore. I love you so much. When they were in the tower (before they went to destroy the horcrux) I whispered "no, not yet. please." And I was already crying when they were standing on the cliff outside the cave. I was holding my breath the entire time and the tears were flowing down my face when they reached that shit where the horcrux was. I was fighting inside, because I was about to sob like... LOUDLY when he was crying. I was holding my face with my two hands until the very end of the movie. I even started shaking because it was so cruel. It felt like I lost someone. I knew I was going to cry. Somehow I had always been mentally attached to him. Dumbledore is my idol. He's so mysterious and unreachable. He'll always live in my mind.

I also figured out something. His last words are "Severus... please." - he's not begging Snape not to kill him. He's asking him to do it. And I didn't even think about it after reading the 7th book (because that's when we find out that it was a deal that they made). Ahhh, Dumbledore is awesome. I think I'll change my layout to a Dumbledore one.

Sorry for being too emotional over Dumbledore. I just love him so much.
 
I liked the movie a lot, and the ending didn't really bother me as much as some avid fans. I just hate that there's so little McGonagall in the movies. I know she doesn't have a HUGE part in the books, but I feel like they cut out like 90% of her stuff. I was so pissed in Movie 5 when they took out the part with her getting hit by the Stunners. They better not cut out her great stuff in the next ones.
 
Ok my turn....

I agree with a lot of this stuff, I loved it cause im a harry potter fan but the film fan in me saw many flaws and strange filming/editing.......It was a little anticlimax for me, I think I expected more especially at the end where all we got was Bellatrix destroying things. Although her extreme evilness made me chuckle. However after it starting quite slow, in my opinion, I wanted more at the end but in someway it ended on a dull note even though I liked the way it had been written it was just too quick!

Harry/Ginny: I loved the part in the Burrow when they were all talking about Harry though the Weasly crooked staircase, thats exactly what you expect from that place! I liked the lil' moment H&G seemed to have just before everyone else came rushing in to greet Harry, but I loved the dueling scene at the burrow even more with these two :)

Ron/Hermione: This was a lil' over done and it made the film seem to flick too much from Draco and then these two... It didnt feel conected to me. Hermione's realisation and Emma's portry of the charcter made this story line for me :)

Lavendar: How irritating can you get? perfectly cast :lol:

Dumbledore: Im glad this movie showed a bit more of Dumbledore himself and not just as the headmaster but his friendships with Slughorn, Snape, Harry etc. I didnt cry at the end, like I did wih the books, but willed it to be over with the potion as it seemed so real. Although I too noticed the way he said, "Severus... please" and I liked it, no need to 'act' now, it was time for the deed to be done :) It made me laugh having him stand by a 'Divine Magic' billboard at the beginning though :lol:

Snape: I dont think it concerntrated enough on the fact that he was the half Blood Prince seeing as its the title, but like with all things in the books, it couldnt have been focused on it for long.

Draco: Tom played Draco really well, I always liked this book becuase of how Draco had a bigger part and Tom made it even better for me. He's a great actor and the way he played the part when the Great Hall was being destroyed was great, he made Draco more human and made him look like he regreted the fact that this was happening to Albus and the school even if he wanted to be on the drak side.

Extra bits: The humour was so great in this film! I laughed so much in the film especially with the love potion and Felix Felices. I couldnt belive that they set fire to the Burrow :shifty: But Ron's 'Pie' line nearly made up for it :lol: Finally, Quiditch was the best ever this time around, that exactly how I imagined it :)


After seeing the film im even more happy that the 7th book wi;ll be 2 films so that it can all be fitted in without it seeming too rushed!
