I have a problem with the whole flying death eaters thing.

What the heck is going on when they're flying about and all this black smoke is being spurted out behind them??! Is that really necessary? Seriously, Rowling made a point in the books to say that the only two people who were ever ever able to fly without a broom were Voldemort and Snape. And neither of them gave off an insane amount of exhaust.

It was a good movie in my opinion, yeah they could have made it better but still.

They sacrificed maintaining the book canon to give the Death Eaters a stronger aesthetic.

This film is not the first time it has appeared either. You may recall that they used the same effect in Order of the Phoenix, and the Order actually used a similar effect except in white.

It really is a minor thing anyway. There are tons of instances of wizards performing magic in the films without the aid of a wand when it would have been necessary in the book. Other things like Sirius appearing in the fireplace should be more troubling for you (his face was made of burning logs, what?). And don't even get me started on the inconsistencies with the patronus even within the single film of Order of the Phoenix (they go out of their way to say that a "full-bodied" charm is most difficult, and while many of the students do it in training, Harry's own which should take the form of a stag never does so, except ONLY in the first run through of events in Prisoner of Azkaban).

Basically, it's a movie. Don't be too mad about the changes.

ps for the movie myself, I thought it was great. Best one probably. A lot of people are upset they removed the huge fight at the school, but I think it's fine. Anyway, those folks will be getting an epic fight at the school at the climax of movie 8 so who cares.

Re: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Movie)

it was my favorite of the Harry Potter movies I really liked the teen drama/relationship issues. And my favorite part was when Harry was "high" off the felix felitous (don't know how to spell it).

I liked this effect. What I didn't like, as it was already mentioned, was the absence of the battle in the end (Harry was supposed to share the Felix Felicis with the others and stuff) and the excess of romance. The scene at the lake was extremely well done.

Tonks was supposed to help Harry at the beginning after Malfoy broke his nose, not Luna.
Also, I expected sectumsempra to inflict much greater damage on Draco, I was a bit disappointed.

But I actually liked the film.

I was a bit disappointed. They added scenes that never happened and left out a lot imo. I liked Draco's srs bsns face. Oh, and Bellatrix.
