I am a Harry Potter fan, I own the e-books and audio books. I have yet to own the actual books, but I fully intend to buy them in the future so my kids can enjoy them as well.
The first time I saw the latest trailer of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows movie was when my blogger friend Shemah blogged about it on her entertainment blog, Reel Madhouse last June. The teaser trailer was awesome and I can only imagine how awesome this movie will be.
Check it out!
Finally the long 5 month wait is over, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows is now being shown in local cinemas and I cannot wait to see it! However, I am still not sure if I can see it this weekend because my sister is not around to baby sit for me. Boo-Hoo!
I am so very interested to see how Hermione's edited scene comes out.
I already know how the story ends for Harry Potter and his friends, since I have already read the e-books, but I want to see how they make it into the movie. I have never been disappointed with any of the Harry Potter movies, because even though some scenes didn't exactly happen that way it did in the books, it's pretty darn close (not like some books turned into movies!).
Anyway, I really hope I can see it soon. Crossing my fingers! Have a great weekend everyone!

I have been meaning to publish this post for the last 2 weeks, but because of my disappointment, I haven't really paid any attention to it, until I realize I should post it before it gets too late. So anyway, as the title suggests, this is a post about Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince or HP6.
You know me, I like to write my version of a review, but I cringe at the word review, so let's not use that word, okay, just know that this is my opinion of the film.
When I saw the trailer, I was like, WOW. I. HAVE. GOT. TO. SEE. THIS. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
The start was great, I love the graphics, as always, the effects were outstanding, and the way they made the Millennium Bridge twist and then collapse was an awesome mark for all muggles to realize that something terrible is in the midst of happening. I don't know about you, but I am afraid of the Death Eaters. I am also afraid of Fenrir Greyback (Dave Legeno), the werewolf, who bit Remus Lupin (David Thewlis), which is why he is a werewolf. His face when Ginny found him in the clearing (during the scene where she followed Harry off into the night when Bellatrix appeared near the burrow) was freaking scary!
But you don't realize how Remus became a werewolf because none of the movie franchises revealed that, quite a disappointment right there. However, I am not afraid of Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter), I can take her and her crazies. LOL. She gets more exposure in the film than in the book, which is okay I guess. I love the whole love triangle going on between Ron (Rupert Grint), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Lavender (Jessie Cave). Lavender annoys me, but hey, she made Hermione express her feelings for Ron in the end, so yay.
However, I don't think the movie showed how much Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) meant to Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), and how Harry meant to Dumbledore that much. I felt that the movie lacked the emotion the book had. I mean it should have been evident how sorrowful and gloomy the atmosphere was, but all I felt was excitement at the beginning, and then as the movie progressed, nothing. I felt weird not loving the film, as I have loved most of the previous Harry Potter films.
I knew Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) killed Albus Dumbledore because I have read the book, but I wanted to see how they'd show that on film, and I was quite disappointed by how it turned out. The whole scene in the book where Harry was chasing after Snape and Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) was cut so short, it felt rushed, so disappointing.
Also, Draco's suffering wasn't depicted greatly, although I think Tom Felton made an amazing job in showing what a tortured soul Draco Malfoy was.
The film also didn't elaborate on why Severus Snape called himself the Half Blood Prince. For all of you who haven't read the book, here's an explanation why. Snape's mom is a pure blooded wizard, who married a muggle. Snape's mom's middle name is Prince. Thus, making him half blooded, which is why he called himself the Half Blood Prince.
The ending was so disappointing. The whole funeral scene from the book didn't make the film. Why? It is probably one of the most important scenes in the book and they decided not to put it in the film? WTF? I felt that Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard who ever lived deserved more than just a raise of their wands.
The movie was so incomplete, it didn't even show the part where Dumbledore went to the Dursleys to pick up Harry, it was so incomplete. As an HP fan, I would have expected more, and since this is the 6th and the previous movies were awesome, I thought this would be better since it's nearing the end. If time was what they needed then they should've just made the movie into 2 parts, that way time won't be a problem and they'll be able to put in the crucial, important details from the book. Deviating from the book is okay, but you shouldn't deviate too far. I am so disappointed by this film, I am re-reading the book, just so I can feel better about it. I hope the next film, the last one, will be better than this one, because out of all the HP movies, this one sucked for me, big time. But that's just me. If you enjoyed it, good for you.
Until next time folks! I hope you had a better experience with the HP6 movie, I read the book, so maybe that's why I expected too much, but if I didn't know the story, I'd say it was a pretty good movie too.
