Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie!

Well, after reading the books and everything so many times...to be honest, I was slightly disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the movie was still good, but it left a lot out from the books and didn't explain itself very well.

Since you wanted spoilers, I'll go into detail about what I mean.

In the book, when Ron drinks the poisoned drink with Professor Slughorn and Harry, Harry quickly makes use of a bezoar, or whatever it's called. He knows this because of his potions book, which is very important. In the movie, there is no mention of a bezoar and when Ron drinks it Harry just randomly starts searching around for something and sticks something in Ron's mouth just in time to save him. My husband, who didn't read the book, had no idea what went on there.

Also, I found it a little odd that halfway through this movie the burrow caught on fire and was destroyed.

And Harry/Ginny get together as do Ron/Hermione. The Ron/Hermione relationship is a little weird in the movie to the point where Hermione actually cries over Ron and everything.

As for the Dumbledore scene you mentioned, I kind of like how they did that part and kind of didn't. I won't ruin it for you, though, but I will say that they didn't show his funeral or anything.

The most outputting part of everything was the ending. The entire movie is called the HALF-BLOOD PRINCE, but there is NO explanation whatsoever about it like there is in the book. It's kind of an important thing since that's what the book/movie is supposed to hinge around. Snape just claims that he's the half-blood prince and walks away. My husband kind of turned to me and was like...what does that mean? Why is he a half-blood prince? He thought he was descended from royalty or something! LOL.

All in all, good movie, but a little divergent. It focus A LOT on relationships, though, and I thought that could have been toned down a bit without hurting the film any.

I went to see it last night with a friend and to be honest I wasn't that disappointed because of the reviews I have heard about it and of course reading the book beforehand I knew it would be a slow film and it certainly doesn't come up to the same standard as the first few films. There is no real fighting scene, it's full of romance and I started to get fidgety. It didn't excite or enthral me, I just want to see the final film now but sadly as they've made book 7 into two films it's going to be a very very long wait, no doubt the next film will be slow too, probably even slower, and finally it will all be action in the 8th film, lets hope so! I will probably read book 6 more than see the film again, although I will get it on dvd as part of my ongoing Harry Potter collection. It was sad when Dumbledore dies and you want just Snape to suffer! Being a revengeful person I hate it when the bad guys get away and Malfoy needs to be punished too, but we will have to wait and see if Snape and Malfoy do get their come uppance, no spoilers here;0)

I think i will wait to see from the DVD.I have no time to see in the theatres.I think this story interesting.

Now the movie has appears on the theatres.I think soon we will see it on the screen.Hope to see earlier.

Personally i didnt like the movie that much. The only reason i watched the movie was so i could see that final battle and i was dissapointed it didnt show. Also it hinted at dumbledores death and stuff during movie so i would ave money and not watch it. thats my opinion

I haven't read any of the Harry Potter book but yes I have seen all the movies. So I think there would be certain difference between book and a movie. As far I think all the movies have given sufficient information regarding the characters and the story.
