Harry Potter and the half blood prince

Contains spoilers ... obviously ... stare

So who else has seen this? I went and saw it yesterday. cheers

Not so much because I'm a fan of HP ~~I was for the first few movies but kind of lost interest~~ more like a Snape fan!

Thoughts on the movie?

Myself, I thought it could have been more action orientated and it seemed much like the other movies in some ways with similar themes etc. Interesting fact about Voldemort though, no wonder they can't kill him after all this time! sigh

~~Man he was an evil, creepy kid!~~ What a surprise about Snape being the half blood prince! Surprised

Although really it was so obvious with the book containing perfect potion spells and all, why I did not click I do not know! sigh

Still a Snape fan and I don't think he wanted to Kill Dumbledore, didn't Dumbledore ask him to do it? He faked his death didn't he? I remember reading some of the book but I don't remember all of it. :think:

HP is as annoying as ever and why does Draco fail so badly? stare

Well anyway I will continue reading/watching if just for the Snape love chuu~!

Alan Rickman Ftw! cheers

Saw it on Friday and had mixed feelings. Haven't read the book in aaaaages, so i didn't go in with it fresh in my head. I thought it was alright. Thought Dumbledore didn't act enough while drinking the potion. It's supposed to HURT HIM. Looked like it only phased him till it was done and then he sorta got up, brushed off his robe and was like 'well, that was fun.'
Am skimming HBP now, and have just realized how much they left out. No Phlem love </3 And other things. HP/GW kiss scene messed up, etc. Lavender was good though. Made me giggle.
Snape was goood in this, though i think more needed to be done with the whole Draco/Snape interaction and stuff.
Slug Club made me lol. Poor Belby though =( Thinking of hiiiimmm. Poor kid.
All in all, i say not bad. They did most scenes they did include pretty well done. Just wish they added more. Would have been fun to see the Gaunts and more of the Horcrux's. Ah well. Let's see what they do next =)

i thought it was lacking in action and i also thought malfoy was fail
, im glad i havent read the book in ages before seeing the movie, i had forgotten so much and so i wasnt too disappointed

but... i laughed quite alot especially after HP took the luck potion Very Happy

i enjoyed it, mostly cos i wasnt expecting too much

Luck Potion scene was EPIC. Very well done. He sat there with such a goofy grin on this face XD

I haven't seen it yet but from the sound of it I should wait for it to be on dvd

By Wishe. 19/07/09, 01:15 pm

It was alright.
I don't like how they keep cutting out the house elves though... And what was with Harry hitting on the waitress at the start??

By deceptivemagick. 19/07/09, 01:19 pm

yeah, that was weird, seemed kinda creepy mostly

By daydreamer. 19/07/09, 02:48 pm

Watched it yesterday, it was alright for a two and a half hour movie. Wished they add more funny parts instead of adding some that wasn't even in the book.

HARRY ON CRACK WAS WIN

I don't remember the book.... at all really Dx So~~~~ I though it was awesome <3

The effects for the... Memories (Pensieve? xD Been too long) were awesome though.

Little Voldy was freakin scary.

The movie was alright ...Iuno I'm kinda over the whole thing
Though I did love Luna chuu~!

By Grassangel. 19/07/09, 04:37 pm

I haven't reread the book at all, so I'm mostly blank on the stuff they did miss out except they skipped out on a lot of Voldie's back story and the conversation at the end didn't take place in front of Dumbledore's memorial.
Did end up laughing at all the goofy moments though (especially the Luck potion) and how much they hammed up the Harry/Hermione scenes.

But the whole movie was a non-event for me. The music was great though.

By Blooberry. 20/07/09, 01:58 pm

Well...
I read the book/loved it and thought the movie was really good, compared to the goblet of fire one (D:<) EXCEPT they cut out the epic death eater VS Hogwarts teachers/students scene.
...Anyone noticed that EVERYONE in the movie hooked up with someone?
...Mostly everyone, Dumbledore gets no love. sad

YOU COULD FEEL THE LOVE BETWEEN MCGONA-WHATEVER AND SNAPE THOUGH |D
Draco gets no one/thing. D: Except his millions of fangirls.
Loved Bellatrix. You could tell she was having a good 'ol time, prancing around and setting fire to things.
Favourite part - The bit about...That girl who has a crush on harry..can't remember her name..Ramilda..something? Vain? I dunno, but it was hilarious.
'She only likes you because you're the 'chosen one'!'
'Well...I AM the chosen one...'

OH THE LULZ.
...
Okay, pointless post is ended~

Luna is the awesomeness >w<

I thought.. they strayed waaay too far from the book. I mean, disregarding the book, it was.. decent.

As a far-too-obsessed Harry Potter fan, I went in expecting it to be completely sugar honey iced tea, and was pleasantly surprised. :)

Luna was amazing, and the rest of the characters weren't too bad. Harry was so awesome when he was on the felix potion Very Happy

I thought the movie was a bit 'busy', though. It went from scene about major plot point A to scene about major plot point B, etc. There wasn't really enough down time, which isn't necessarily a bad thing..

By MissEevee. 21/07/09, 10:27 am

i went and saw it on Wednesday 'cause i had free tickets.

i thought it was really dark/scary, considering how the other movies have been! o-o
i quite liked it though.
but i think having read the book might have helped me understand some of the bigger timeskips. >.<

By Olli. 21/07/09, 10:28 am

I wanna cosplay Luna!!!

I need to go see it still

By MissEevee. 21/07/09, 10:30 am

haha, i keep getting told i look like her?

it's weird, because i don't at all.
but she was adorable in the movie.

"i sleepwalk, you see. it's why i wear shoes to bed."

AWWE. n.n

By Olli. 21/07/09, 10:32 am
