Malfoy and Snape were probably the best acted in this film.

Yea both were great, along with Lavender who really nailed that role.

You have to remember how long ago they were first cast (and how young they were at the time).

I'm pretty sure Dumbledore sucking is the writing.

Slughorn was very well acted.

And yeah, really the ending was just too damn rushed/poorly written/crappy. That and the Riddle memories (of which they cut out a ton for obvious reasons) were the best parts of the book. And they just weren't that good in the movie. This more than the acting disappointed me.

It isn't bad at all, but just much less than I had hoped for. I'll be watching it a second time I'm sure so we'll see if that changes.
Yeah I pretty much agree with all of that. Obviously the Big 3 are worse actors than the other characters, but that's largely because the other actors are brilliant.

If you consider that they had to pick the Big 3 when they were like 11 year's old and then stick with them come hell or high water...they're pretty good. I don't think you could reasonably ask for better 18 year old actors if you had to pick them at age 10 (and had very strict guidelines about how they had to look) and hope they turned out ok. They got pretty lucky in that regard.

I agree about the ending, completely.

I don't get why they can't recast the kids at this point. Yeah- it would annoy some people, but I think they'd get over it.

Just from the previews I've seen- Ginny does not appear to be nearly hot enough imo.

I've never seen any of the HP movies, but my friend wants me to go with her. Will I be able to follow it? Will I be horribly bored out of my mind? TIA.

It's going to suck bad for you then. This movie has to get a lot of information into 2 hours, and it spends zero time catching anyone up to speed on anything.

You might enjoy a special effect or a joke or two.

I just saw this. I have read the first four books when they came out but never saw any of the movies.

I was very disappointed in a couple of scenes, as they raised so many questions
Spoiler:
1; WTF is the random scene blowing up the weasly house? Doesn't add anything to the story.
2; The bad guys spend all this trouble to get some units into hogwarts, but draco and snape are the only ones really doing anything. They might as well have knocked on dumbledore's door and shot him, no need for all the hassle
3: I know now because my gf told something about the next book, but wtf at snape hushing harry instead of zapping his ass. If it is supposed to be a hint make it a bit more clear.
4: if the horcrux in the cave is fake, why did DD have to drink that magic water? Someone else got the real one out without removing the water? just grab that thing and bail out?
5: the movie is named the halfblood prince but the only thing mentioning is a random book that doesn't really influence the movie and a snap oneliner.


Maybe I misunderstood some parts, but when I left I felt like I just watched a lost episode. It left me with more questions than answers.

Randiek,

1, 2, 3, and 5 are the product of a crappy adaptation of the book. 4 is you being dumb.

In the 7th book, the details of who removed the real horcrux, placed the fake horcrux, and how it was all done is revealed. Without giving away too much, that person also had to first remove the potion before taking the horcrux.

Though, I'm not sure if a line of the 7th book explicitly stated it, the assumption is that the green potion was magically refilled.

1- reading the books is not nerdy

2- Having just re-read this book- she's supposed to be hot.

If any of the kids had been recasted, it would have set off a revolution in Potter fandom.

saw it last night and thought it was pretty bad

though my friends and i did enjoy watching it with the impression that every single character was either ***** each other, or wanting to or plotting to do so. it made the thousand+ angsty/goofy stares/actions between the different character combinations a lot more entertaining

also some good laughs at the phallic broomsticks during quidditch matches, complete with intercut shots of a salivating hermione

the best part of the night was right as it ended a super-tilted 25 year old fat harry potter nerd yelling loudly 'worst fin harry potter movie ever! they changed the last 25% for all these morons!' as he stormed out of the theater, which was amazing

No reason to recast imo. They're decent actors and have some charisma onscreen. (Minus Hermonie who comes off really flat and uninteresting) Producers hit jackpot basically with 10 year old kids able to carry through.

Spoiler:

1. Should have been taken out of the movie. Could have used the time for more Snape stuff.
2. Should have been less shots of Malfoy fiddling with the cabinet giving more time for combatty type stuff at the end.
3. Again, more Snape stuff would have helped here.
4. It works that way because that's the way it works. It's a story.
5. Movie needed more Snape.

Cliff notes: Movie needed more Snape.

Dids, what makes you say shes supposed to be hot. I don't remember ever getting impression.

I pretty much just have to echo most of the opinions in this thread. I was severly dissapointed with the movie when compared to the book. I can accept the fact that plotlines need to be cut, but adding a completely made up scene (the burrow) is ridiculous. I can't believe they didn't do the battle or the funeral at the end either.

I thought the Felix Felecis (luck potion) scene was awesome. Radcliffe was on top of his game during that scene.
Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince Quote
07-16-2009 , 10:28 PM
I don't even bother comparing them to the books anymore. Only 1 and 2 have approached the books and they were the weakest films.

I don't like that they added scenes and didn't put in others, but overall I thought it was a very good movie all things considered.
Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince Quote

Concerning the additional burrow scene in the movie....

Spoiler:
I am rereading Deathly Hallows and the whole crew are at the Burrow for Bill and Fleurs wedding after escaping Voldemort to get there. How the hell are they going to change all of that for the next movie? Or will the Burrow be back to normal in time for that.
