You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Quote:It took a little to get used to it being funnier instead of the traditional "we've gone darker" theme they've followed everytime before. But having said that the hunour really worked especially, as stated, when Harry has the luck potions effects on him. It was brilliantly played by Daniel but I also thought all the 'kids' have grown well into their roles and turned in excellent performances.
Quote:If I have one complaint it's that I could have done with a bit more plot. The other movies have some kind of resolution but this one leaves a thread of the main plot open to the next movie and the identity of the Half-Blood Prince isn't explained in any way.

Quote: This being my favorite of the books, and having been universally disappointed in every HP film I've sat through, I was super unsure about seeing this one, though the previews gave me a glimmer of hope. Perhaps I should thank you for saving me the inevitable irritation that important things are, once again, left out of the silver screen. So, thank you. Won't be seeing it.

It took a little to get used to it being funnier instead of the traditional "we've gone darker" theme they've followed everytime before. But having said that the hunour really worked especially, as stated, when Harry has the luck potions effects on him. It was brilliantly played by Daniel but I also thought all the 'kids' have grown well into their roles and turned in excellent performances. I've had the misfortune of knowing the ending and who was involved in it for a good while (someone who is now buried in hot tar deliberately spoilt it for me) but I thought it still played out really well, especially if you read between the lines of what the characters are saying and the reactions on their faces. And for the record I'm only speculating as I haven't read this book and so far haven't been spoilt about the last book. If I have one complaint it's that I could have done with a bit more plot. The other movies have some kind of resolution but this one leaves a thread of the main plot open to the next movie and the identity of the Half-Blood Prince isn't explained in any way. Maybe the book is the same and these get answered in the finale, but I still felt a little bit of 'Is that it?' Still, last two movies to look forward to, and I start the audiobook of HBP tonight. The beginning of the end is here. Oh, and WashNWear something about your sig has always bothered me but I never got past reading the first bit: "donttalkbackjustdrivethecar". I finally read the whole thing and it clicked. One of my fave PG songs that I really should have gotten from the first part.

Quote:Originally posted by RIPWash: I think that being a die hard fan of how an author writes and the pattern in which any book is laid out automatically ruins the movie.
Quote:I've become accustomed to the fact that sometimes things just have to be changed for things to fit into the movie and have things make sense...
Quote:fans of the books would gladly sit through a 2 PLUS hour movie.
Quote:I have noticed SOME things that have been added to the movie that aren't in the book.
Quote:since Snape is a potions master, he is "obviously" the Half-Blood Prince. So him just saying that is almost a "well, duh" moment.

So him just saying that is almost a "well, duh" moment. So, wait, it is explained who he is? I mean, the book goes into his parentage, his mother being a witch with a surname of 'Prince' and his father being a muggle, hence he was a half-blood, and a 'Prince' on his magical side. Aside from that, I don't know what other explanation people would be looking for. Unless you're looking for what his motivations were, which is indeed explained in the final book.
