Harry Potter and Half Blood Prince

Harry Potter.. Tereng teng..terenggg teng.. teng tenggggg..

Oh Gosh!! I had hopes prior to watching the 6th installment. Now, i just feel it should be titled Harry Potter and Half Plot Prince. Ho Ho Ho. Dont get me wrong. I still Love Harry Potter but the 6th movie, just aint right. Feel empty after watching em.
This may sounds harsh, but personally, HBP is the worst of all.

No doubt, the movie was visually stunning with its CGI and cinematographic style, but it failed on the story plot department.

It failed to bring the tense, as depicted in JKR's book, in the world of wizarding community and the muggle. Opening scene between the muggle Prime Minister and new Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour was left out (which i think is vital in telling how tense and worried the wizarding world was), and was replaced by showing those dark clouds flying on the streets of London.

Instead of building Voldemort's plot and the quest of finding Horcrux, more were given on romance and relationship of the Hogwarts students. The plotlines were barely developed. Great dramatic plots didnt make it into the film.

Two major things which i didn't like were, the scene after Dumbledore was killed and the ending itself. The Chaotic panic and fighting scenes on Hogwarts were not included.
After killing Dumbledore, they simply walked away and suddenly, puff, they were in the forest running away? Those fighting scenes would add some climatic feelings to the movie.

No funeral for Dumbledore?
Oh come on!! Dumbledore was the greatest wizard of all (a major character in Harry Potter). His after-death scene was simply insulting to this great wizard (to me at least). JKR depicted in such awesome and beautiful ways, where all the wizarding community gave their last respects to Dumbledore. Character from Goblets of Fire made their appearance too.

I thought Harry Potter was supposed to be petrified by Dumbledore prior to his death? And since when wizards could fly? I thought only Voldemort could and the rest could just apperate? No biggie though on wizards could fly.

Oh! Gosh..

Basically, the movie was interesting in the beginning. You kept asking what would happen.. and.. and... and.. and.. errkk.. that was it?

I understand that it was hardd to make HBP, since a 600-page novel had to end up as a 200-page script. But ROTK managed to bring the climatic and intertwined plots as intended. And yeah, ROTK was a very descriptive story indeed.


Harry Potter fans might get a bit upset.

Those who didnt read HBP, might question couple of things. I had to explain to my brother, since he couldn't find the connecting plots.

I hope the finale (Deathly Hallows - which will be made into 2 movies) would not be dissapointing.

Owh..Could somebody get back Alfonso Cuoron please? Lol!!!
