the Half Blood Prince

We saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last Saturday.

Like the book, the fan will surely forgive for all the (many) shortcomings of this movie since it is preparing us for THE final battle at the Deathly Hallows.

Little details, like the name of the girls bumped at Supper, or spells that won’t work, or curtsies by any of the Teachers, will pop up at the end of the book at each of the book’s final battle. However, as for Half Blood Prince, the final battle is not stimulating, doesn’t make your hand stand. I am correct to say that there is no battle at all in this Half Blood Prince.

However, many things I re-discovered:
1. George and Fred’s Joke Shop is definitely fantastic, much more beautiful then what I have imagined when I read the book. You can just hear the laughter just by looking at the door.
2. Ginny is a grown up?! Our eyes were still on the cute, naïve girl but accepting the fact, anyway.
3. I thought Tonk and Lupin got married during summer?
4. I thought Tonk found Harry when he was ‘stupefied’ by Draco Malfoy in the train.
5. Since when Ron has biceps?
6. Hermione is as what I have always imagined; sweet, grown up, wiser, brilliant as always.
7. I thought Slughorn was supposed to be uglier.
8. Narcissa, Draco’s mother was supposed to look meaner and bitchier but she looked prettier in the movie.
9. I feel that the score was not appalling enough.

All in all , it is a forgiven piece. As we fan know, it is to prepare us for the final battle , the Dark Lord vs Harry Potter. And I don’t know how long could the movie be. 5 hours?

Seriously, I don’t mind 5 hours.
