Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

Yeah but he only did that because the other Death Eaters bribed him to, by threatening to print the truth about his gay love affair with Peter Pettigrew in The Daily Prophet.
 
I thought it was fantastic, though maybe not as good as I'd hoped. I've seen it twice already, though. :o

I agree with those who say the Burrow scene was pointless, and I wish the battle after Dumbledore's death had been added. I also thought the very end was pretty weak, and slightly cheesy. And I didn't like Bonnie Wright as Ginny at all - completely wooden.

However, I loved the rest of it. The cave scene - just stunning. So well acted from Michael Gambon especially; though I have to admit, I actually let out a little scream when the Inferi came out of the water. :o I thought the joke shop was fab, and I also generally thought the film as a whole was really funny, quite a lot of laugh out loud moments. The chemistry between Ron and Hermione was fantastic! I thought Emma gave a really touching performance actually, the scene with her and Harry where Hermione is crying was kind of lovely/sad. I didn't think there was too much lovey stuff, I thought it just showed how their getting older and noticing the opposite sex.

I've just rambled on here in a random order. :o But yeah, I thought it was really, really good. 8.5/10 from me.
 
Priggy, im sure you will be happy to hear big brother has finished :D

JimmyJoe... you even missed a Leona discussion here on the HBP thread :eek: Where were you!? :D
 
I like pretty much anything by LJ Smith - the Secret Circle trilogy is good, so is the Night World series, there's nine books written so far and one more to go - the ninth book was released in 1998, the tenth one is supposed to be released next year.

I haven't read Night World in a long time but remember it being very good.

I also liked Francine Pascal's Fearless, although it got a bit rubbish after the first seventeen books or so, so I gave up. I heard it got good again (that's terrible grammar, sorry) so I'm going to give it another try since the first books were so good.
 
Some very random stuff left out and then random stuff added that never happend.

They seem to have tacked on an attack at the Burrow in the middle of the film and the result is the Burrow being burnt to the ground but Ron and co just seem to not care that there home has been burnt down. Also Dumbledore does not imbolize (sp) Harry in the tower so Harry could of helped but just does not, so makes Harry look selfish and like he does not care. Also Hermione keeps giving Ron hints she likes him but its p[layed like he does not really care.

But Tom Felton is really good in this film and really impressed me . Michael Gambon has toned down his performance but still not what it should be.
 
Actually i agree with that and agree with the person who earlier said it seemed a bit pointless.





We probably wont see Snape and Lucius together in the pensieve in film 7, this removes the inconsistency. I know I'm stating the obvious but most viewers of the films are not aware of these facts. The movies are made for movie audiences, fans of the books only make up a small percentage of these. I can see why it annoys fans though but i would rather have a good film than one bogged down in exposition because it's a slave to the book.

Few people have noticed that the guy playing Snape is around fifteen years older than the guy playing Lupin, when he was meant to have gone to school with him according to POA/OOTP etc. Many who have don't really care. Movies just can't have the exposition and detail books have, they have to allow us to join the dots in our head and we do, most of the time without worrying about character's ages.
 
Ah i suppose so... but its just not as fun, and i shouldnt have to hide what i want to say :D Facebook is just foolish! :D
