Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I’ve given this a week, and marinaded on it, however in the end, I am quite saddened with Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. The ending especially. I was prepared to cry and wallow like I did during the book, and instead the funeral is “glossed” over. Although for a younger audience I can see this being necessary, it still did not have that “oomph” affect when I first read the book. And Snape, oh my Snape… his little speech to chastise Harry for using his own spells against him = WEAK. When reading the book I was stunned, almost shocked at how cruel Snape could be, but this lame, tired and bored tone used in the movie… I’m floored. My advice is to wait until DVD if you can. No rush to run to the theater. There is some cuteness though, and Ron wins in the cuteness factor. My Fave part is when Ron is “bewitched” by Harry’s intended love-laced chocolates. The special effects are amazing as ever, and Malfoy – boy is he a tall young man now!

Overall 3 cupcakes. 2 for ending on such a sour note.

I loved the Harry Potter books. They spanned through most of my life (I started them when I was like 12 or something and now here I am at 21). I�ve read each book multiple times (like 12), and I actually started re-reading the final book last night (again).

Harry with the Felix Felicis part is stupid. The director made Harry was high on drugs. That was just so stupid..

I think they worked around the book quite successfully for this movie, especially since they didn�t follow it too religiously, which translated very well in my opinion. I still think they should have added more of Kreacher and Dobby because they will be important for the last book. But whatever�

I guess I�ve lost all interest in Harry Potter. The movie lost all it�s luster in my eyes. It�s becoming like that show with the ninjas and stuff.
