(no subject)
I actually have a story outline now. Listening to Porcupine Tree helped a lot, it seems.
I think I'll have a lot more luck with writing now than in the past because I have always had a problem with wanting it to be right immediately and then getting frustrated when it isn't. Then again, it's probably because the last time I really wrote anything was a few years ago and I was a lot more impatient then. Now, I see that it doesn't matter if it's terrible now because all the things I've written down now are most likely not even going to be in the final thing anyway (when it hopefully gets written someday).
Now I just have to start writing. I'm not sure if, for me, it's best to plan out all the chapters beforehand or just let it flow. In the past, making it up as I go along has never resulted in anything that makes any sort of sense, so I don't know...hmm.
And I didn't know that the first few minutes were in 3D so we got to wear the glasses and it was very cool indeed.
I'm surprised at how much from the book they included this time.
Harry didn't fight back as viciously as I'd hoped at the end. He was using the unforgivable curses in the book (did he in the film?) and had a lot more rage there, but in the film he just seemed to sort of give up. I think that an important part is Harry's hate of Snape at the end, but it didn't seem so strong.
The film is called the Half Blood Prince but I can imagine that someone who hadn't read the book would be confused at why it was called that when it had hardly anything to do with the main events in the film (at least to me). The whole potions book thing seemed very brief.
Another thing that bugged me a little is that when the death eaters entered the school, it didn't show any sort of resistance (like the order of the phoenix, they probably just couldn't include it) and then when Dumbledore died they just all gathered round and it's like they weren't even shocked that the death eaters got in and that Dumbledore had died. It seemed like they just accepted it. Well, that's the feel I got from the film, not taking into account the book, of course.
And also that Harry wasn't frozen, because his doing nothing seems unlike him. In the book he would've tried to do something to help Dumbledore but he couldn't, but here he just watched when he could've run up. I suppose they were depending on how Dumbledore said to do what he said. Maybe I just saw that scene wrongly...
At least the last one will be split into two films.
Oh dear, I've done a lot of complaining, I really did like the film a lot - I think it's a lot better than the previous ones. I liked the scene with Dumbledore, the fire and inferi, and that they included Fawkes at the end. The part where Harry took the felix felicis was done very well, I think. Quite similar to how I saw it in my head, too.
