Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

Unfortunately HP isn't the type of film to win Oscars....

Maybe they'll do what they did with the last LOTR film and give them every award going because it was so fantastic??!!

What about daniel radcliffe?? He deserves mentioning....or maybe Alan rickman will outshine everyone else...or Tom Felton.....SO MANY GOOD ACTORS!!
 
i agree with that and so it feels like some amateur could have made the film.

Whilst we get some nice touches, nice fan moments there isn't a real story running through it. For example we get:

1)Harry telling Ron on the Express that Snape made an Unbreakable vow for Draco.
2)Lupin, Tonks, Arthur telling Harry, Ginny that Snape was probably just pretending to offer Draco help.
3)Ginny/Harry having a "romantic moment" split up by Ron
4)Arthur tells Harry that Draco was looking at a Vanishing cabinet in his shed plus explanation as to why they were popular back in the day.
5)Burrow fight scene.

ok that may not be in the right order but still it gives the impression that they are just scenes - nothing really seems to further the plot. Ok 1&2 give us the impression that Draco is up to something and they are nice scenes as they are in the book. We don't really need to see that Draco's up to something as we already know that as v/o at the start told us he had a mission from the dark Lord plus with all the scenes with the vanishing cabinet.
As much as scene 4 was nice touch as we saw Arthur's muggle shed but everything in the scene was being spoon-fed to us.
The fight scene we have been told was to add dramatic tension but had they not told us Draco was given a mission by Voldy at the start and showing us what he was up to and just made scenes like 1,2 &4 above more dramatic well they probably wouldn't have needed to do that coz we wouldn't have a foggiest what was going on and therefore would be more dramatic anyway. Then they would have more time to spend making the movie more dramatic by not telling us everything so explicitly.
 
Destroys the locket with Gryffindors sword?

The only bit I remember about that is when it says that hes the least loved in a family where they desperately wanted a girl to make Ron feel worthless.
 
Just looking back at dates for Phoenix promo material.

The first poster for OOTP was released November 15th.

TWO days before the teaser was seen in Cinemas on the 17th.

TEASER- NOVEMBER 20TH ONLINE
INTERNATIONAL Theatrical trailer- APRIL 22ND
DOMESTIC Theatrical trailer - MAY 4TH

Movie was released, July 12th.

So already you can see how much later the teaser as released for HBP!

For Phoenix at this stage we had LOARAB of pics too.
The day before and day after the teaser trailer WB released dozens on HQ pics, but so far we've had very little!

Hopefully WB will give us the poster and some more piccies soon! :D
 
I like the Harry Potter books - the films are - well - pants!

Except that ... I do love Jason Isaacs, Alan Rickman and Tom Felton's portrayal of their characters (who are also my favourite characters in the books - since BEFORE I saw the films) ... so I have the films on dvd and just fast forward through, mainly until I catch a glimpse of Tom Felton's hair which stanRAB out in the crowd scenes ...!

What the films have done to their characters is nothing short of criminal - reduced to almost extras in the last film for example.

Half Blood Prince will be interesting since it's difficult to see how they can cut out Draco and Snape (I know Lucius is in prison) without totally ruining the story line but then that's never bothered them before.

I am though, horrified that apparently Warner Bros is screwing the timeline so badly that they have a young Lucius at school with Tom Riddle ... and have filmed the scene. When in truth Lucius is far, far too young to have been in that scene.
 
haha ah this is my only home :D

Ah i've noticed, im more of a Lurker on the Leona thread, i don't understand all the statistics or anything that people are on about :o
 
I know this would never have happened, but wouldn't it have been great if the news of the 15 second clip hadn't leaked. People in the cinema would actually have lept out of their seats in amazement! I certainly would:eek:

Then they could justify having a 15 second teaser....
 
nice thought! :) I could live with that personally!

Would be nice to start with it and have all the characters re-introduced at the very beginning gathering for it..

Then again there is so much in DH i cant see them adding even more stuff! :D
