Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince Movie

August 2nd, 2009 No comments »

Well i won’t say it’s a bad movie it’s good but I feel that it was very disappointing in some aspects. Warning many Spoilers.

After this I’ll wonder if I will even bother seeing the next on in Theater’s this one i should have waited for it to be released on DVD.

1. Professor slughorn in the movie is a complete dolt and your surprised if anything intelligent comes out of his mouth, but unlike in the book where he’s a boisterous fun loving kinda guy in the movie he’s more illustrated as a bumbling buffoon who seems surprised that he is capable of speech and very sketchy. This is not how I thought the character should be illustrated.

2. To me book 6 is about understanding Voldermort and understanding his weaknesses so that Harry can have a chance to finish him. In the movie though they don’t show the crucial memories that show the locket, cup, or the ring. Also they make Dumbldore seem Dumbledum with him not having any idea of what the horcrux’s could be at all. In the movie he seems surprised by the fact that Tom Riddle even made one.

In the book they is focused on heavily as it’s crucial for Harry to understand that Voldermort collects things of great magical history and power, and that he guesses based on the memory shown that he knows what some of the horcrux’s are – The Locket, The Diary, The Ring, The Cup, and Nagini The Snake. However he taught Harry (in the book) to know what to look for to what he who must not be named value’s, and that he wouldn’t use just any object to hide a piece of his soul. This was all glazed over in the movie.

3. I understand you cannot put the entire book into one movie that some things have to be cut, well that’s fine but stick close to the story. Why add the burrow being blown up over christmas holidays when there was nothing like that in book 6 at all. You could have left that part out and put in the real fight after doubledore dies that took place at hogwarts as the death eaters ran away.

Overall i feel the move tried to take in all of the different plots the book lay’d out such as the qritich delimma with ron. The multiple love stories for harry, ron and hermini, The anguish that harry carry’s, malfoy’s under handed dealings, and Voldermot. It felt very rushed and hacked together so it doesn’t feel like a long movie but your left wondering well that didn’t make sense. I have no idea how Harry is suppose to continue on with Doubledore’s work without any knowledge being passed on. Or why they used Luna Love Good for so many extra things like the train.

When the movie strays away from the book they didn’t just side step they leaped to another track completely. However as a movie it’s good with some cool effects, just doesn’t fit in with the books and almost feels like it doesn’t fit in with the other movies they have already done. After this I’ll wonder if I will even bother seeing the next on in Theater’s this one i should have waited for it to be released on DVD.
