  • Oh No!

    Oh god.

    by predatedcow

    This movie was an absolute disgrace to the franchise that is Harry Potter, I dont even want to see the next two. There was a scene (made up) that lasted two minutes that was all the action, like when the heck did the burrow fall to pieces??? The rest was some sappy wannabe romantic comedy. The cut out the biggest fight scene in Harry Potter TO DATE and left out all the memories that hinted towards the next horcruxes and why Tom Riddle ended up the way he did, there was no voldemort either. I have honestly never been so disappointed, David Yates has lost the entire feel of what was Harry Potter and should be ashamed, as well as fire before he can destroy what little dignity this movie series still has left. i want my time and money back.

    Disappointing.........

    by Grizzly Bear

    I'm sure many of you are wondering how you can rate a movie "GO" and title your review "Disappointing". It is simply this; the screen adaption of the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" was so far from the actual book I feel they lost an opportunity to make a great movie. There were scenes in the movie that never happened in the book. Some of them had nothing to do with the story. I ENJOYED THE MOVIE but throughout I kept whispering to my wife "That wasn't in the book"! I think for those of you who haven't READ THE BOOKS THIS IS A MUST SEE MOVIE but for this Potter fan the movie was disappointing.

  • Oh No!

    (T) TROLL

    by formalpenguin

    In the language of Harry Potter (T) troll for the movie and the Terrible directing. David Yates should be fired before he screws up the last 2. Did you read the book(s) David? I rated the first 2 movies (E), the 3rd (A), the 4th (P), the fifth (D) and now we've hit bottom Harry Potter fans. Where should I start? Leaving out main characters: Bill & Fleur, the Dursleys, and to a lesser extent Trelawney, Dobby & Kreature (and a few others). Leaving out VITAL scenes: the battle at Hogwarts, Dumbledore's funeral, the horocrux ring memory, the horocrux cup and locket memorys. The opening scene outside a coffee shop and the burning down of the magically protected burrow, NEVER happen in the book. TOO MUCH time on the romance and Malfoy cabinet mending, horrible characterization of Snape (Yates fault) seemed almost friendly with Harry. Harry hiding when Dumbledore dies instead of being frozen unable to fight. Good - Slughorn and Lavendar actors. Real HP book fans will be DISAPPOINTED.
