Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
a longer review to follow on fantasy666 (the book group).
Okay, so we watched this today. Overall, it was okay. Still, too much 'snogging' going on, and not enough emphasis on Dumbledore's death, the horcruxes, Draco Malfoy's role in all of this, the lake scene, the assorted death eaters taking part in Dumbledore's demise (wondered why they did not feature the werewolf more) - and so on, and so on. Seriously, this is the first time I watched a Potter film and thought the film doesn't really do the book justice. Boring, it was not. 5 stars, it was not either. All the actors get 5 stars from me, not the adaptation of the book. Your thoughts?
