What did everyone think of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince? One person's status on gmail chat is "I thought I was going to see HP: Half Blood Prince, not HP: 90210". What's your opinion? Was it worth the wait?

Hey kathryn!
ReplyDeleteI disagree with the 90210 comment! Mostly because the teengage angst/awkward love scenes were probably more true to the book than any others! It was all in the book and it was just as fun, awkward, maybe even funnier on the screen. I laughed and smiled so much my cheeks hurt afterward!
I loved the movie (as a movie by itself, of course). I'm glad I didn't read the book right before seeing it like I did for the other movies, because I didn't obsess over all the changes and omissions as much... until afterwards! (I'm currently re-reading 6 and 7, haha) And I guess it was worth the wait... I'm still really upset that I didn't get to see this in November... grr!

I too thought that the film did an admirable job of staying true to the coming-of-age theme that comprised the majority of Book 6. Of course I have my gripes about the omissions, most notably the battle scene at Hogwarts that takes place at the end of the story. For me that scene is important because it sets up one of the few happy scenes of HP 7 - Bill & Fleur's wedding. I guess we'll see how they manage to set that one up.
