Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

Ah well i may drop round some time then :D

Right, well i shall be off now, early start tomorrow... well today! Gah... the things we do for Harry Potter :p

Thanks for tonight everyone!

Night JimmyJoe!
 
Anyway guys wouldn't now be the perfect time to bet on which 'Child star' from HP will be the first to have a Britney-esque breakdown?
:D
My moneys on Emma, she makes out to be this mature sensible adult but I think she'll go mad about the fact that she never got to be a little girl and become a media whore.
 
Yep deffo it was.

I guess Im judging now after many many re-reaRAB of the whole series and I just find it the book I struggle with most during a re-read as I want to skip pages but I never get that with the others! :o:D
 
I'm soooo looking foward to HBP!! Teenage hormones raging while battling the greatest dark wizard who's ever lived. Brilliant.

I don't mind the split. It means that we get one more HP movie, I'm fine with it! Plus, none of the book gets left out that way. I do hope they put the epilogue at the end though.
 
Well Fleur Delacour isn't in HP6 so I don't think Bill is. They are both important characters in the book, so I'm pretty annoyed! They're going to leave out one of my favorite bits! (Where Bill gets bitten by Fenrir Greyback in the book).
 
Because it'll be their big summer blockbuster. Because of the writers strike they don't have anything else that could replicate the success of Batman this year. Putting out HP next Summer means they'll be able to cash in.
 
lol! I'm supposed to have a tennis lesson in 40mins but its started to spit and its scheduled to rain i know at the time of my lesson! Hopes the forecast is wrong yet again!
 
Just got back from a late showing of HBP, here are a selection of my rambling thoughts:

Harry grieves by flirting with (very attractive) cafe workers, despite still looking about 13.

Fenrir Greyback is a werewolf, not that you would know that by watching the movie.

I jumped when the Inferius grabbed Harry's hand, even though I was waiting for it to happen. (No reference to what the Inferi were, nor was there a search for the entrance to the underground lake, or of why the potion had to be drunk).

There was only a passing reference to bezoars, in a class that Harry wasn't in.

Why did the film makers not want us to hear the word Horcrux?

Why did Harry make a piss poor attempt to find out what the memory was? I much prefer the version in the book, where his worRAB mirrored those of Riddle more closely, alluding to their intertwined destinies.

Has Harry forgotten he owns an infallible Invisibilty Cloak?

Something complementary; Tom Felton, Alan Rickman, Jim Broadbent, Evanna Lynch (is that her name?), Maggie Smith (of course), Julie Walters, Rupert Grint all put in some good performances. I also thought that the criticism of Emma Watson was harsh, I thought that she was very good, the scene when she set the birRAB on Ron was very good I thought.

I even warmed a little to Michael Gambon as Dumbledore. He still isn't the Dumbledore of the books, but he managed a little of the eccentricity in this film, and was good in the scene in the underground cave.

Finally, Mr Radcliffe; he had his wooden moments as in the other films, but he also had some good moments. You could appreciate the longing for Ginny, the bit when he was stoned was funny ("pincers, tt, tt!")
 
even though the burrow attack wasnt in the book personally i thought it was one of the best scenes in the film

something like that needed to be put in the film otherwise it would have been far too light and fluffy in the middle
