Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Movie)

[awein999]

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).

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.

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.

Snape kills dumbeldore.

[Bill Kaulitz]

It was quite good I must say. :P

[Bolth mannn]

Am I the only that that thought draco was a different actor? he looks so different

The teenage romance stuff was done really well, and ahhahhahahaha when harry was high on felix :P that was sooo funny.

as somone said before, they removed half of voldemorts past...i have no idea at all how he is going to find the horcruxes lol.

also, wtf, only 4 death eaters came out of the cabinet... i wanted there to be a huge fight at the end like in the book...the dumbledore death scene was pretty epic though.

and the sectumsempra....i thought you used it as a sword and sliced the person...not random blotches of blood all over the body...

Snape is awesome btw.

This doesn't matter. They wanted to give Luna more screen time as a primary character rather than giving Tonks a few more seconds of screentime. Frankly, I'm counting my lucky stars that Tonks wasn't cut completely.

It's not unusual for a thread about a movie created after the movie comes out to talk about the contents of the film in a frank manner. If a person hasn't seen the film yet, they shouldn't be reading this thread.

Also notice that the contents of the story have been known of since FOUR YEARS AGO. The book is four years old and yet you still complain of spoilers?

I also imagined it as large gashes all over the body, but that would have been too gory and it would've been very inappropriate I think. Seeing the blood seeping through his shirt was enough to show Harry how wrong he had been to use that spell and that's enough. Malfoy doesn't need to traumatize any child watching the film by having a body covered in deep slashes.

There's no way in hell he was serious. DUMBLEDORE DIES has easily eclipsed AERIS DIES and SPIKE DIES combined as "that spoiler that everyone already knows."

Too gory and inappropriate? That's how it happened in the book. I don't care about little 5 year olds who never read it and think it's a great happy magical story. I'm pretty sure when Voldemort resurrected and said "Harry Potter I'm going to kill you" in the fourth movie would traumatize a child way more than some nasty wounds on Malfoy. It's not a children's book. The movie got a PG rating. It wasn't inappropriate enough.

[dore]

If it was a really gory gash the movie could've been PG-13 instead of PG. That wouldn't matter for a lot of Harry Potter fans (seeing as the series has been around so long all the original fans would be able to see a PG movie by now ) but younger fans might have trouble convincing their overprotective parents about the harmlessness of the movie if it's got a PG-13 rating.

[PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR]

I enjoyed this. I'm now looking forward to the next one slightly more.

I would have really liked for them to go all out, especially with the violence and language and all, but I think they weighed their choices, between going PG-13 and PG, and this was better for the production or whatever it is.

[annie_no_pants]

Okay...I have a bit to say on this.

Do you guys honestly think they are going to do everything exactly as the book says? If they did that, we would probably be sitting in the movies for like 7 hours. They have to add some **** so that the movie is "entertaining" to some people. Now, I agree that they should have focused a bit less on the teen romance, but I honestly loved this movie.
I think the characters were very well developed. And I personally loved the fact that it made me giggle a bit. Especially the part when Harry limitated the pinchers of the spider xD.

5 was more action packed, but this one touched me emotionally. I absolutely loved it.

[RB_IcePh0enix]

I thought it was pretty good, much better then the 5th movie. I haven't read the book in a long time, so I forgot how much they left off until I read this thread haha.

[Bolth mannn]

this was not as good as others on the action/violence scale but this is the one I enjoyed the most...this is the first movie in a long time when I can actually say i was pissed off when it ended. I wanted it to just keep on going.
