Review of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) by Adam B — 08 Dec 2012

Not exactly the best Harry Potter movie, see as a movie on its own it was pretty good but as a book/movie adaption it failed..... In past Harry Potter movies they omitted some scenes because of time and budget constraints, which is quite understandable, but Half Blood Prince was taking out massive chunks of the book, changing scenes that don't need changing and putting in random stupid scenes that weren't in the book and don't contribute anything to the plot of it - example: The attack on the burrow which ends up getting blown to shit yet repaired by the next movie (even though buildings destroyed by curses are irreparable, which is said in the next book), speaking of the Burrow, how come its magically appeared in a swamp? In Chamber of Secrets you can see that its clearly in the countryside full of grassy slopes.

... what a lack of continuity. And why is it that Luna is the one that finds Harry, why couldn't it have been Tonks?? like jeez! Another scene that was destroyed was the beginning.... like come on, Harry manages to afford a load of train trips even though he doesn't have any source of income whatsoever, seems legit.

.. this then leads to more discontinuity of 12 Grimmauld Place and Kreacher and Sirius' will. Overrall this movie has been a lazy attempt at a Harry Potter movie.
