Hey, have we all seen the new Harry Potter movie, yet? I haven’t, but my three oldest kids have, and they said it sucked. They went to the midnight showing Tuesday night dressed in their Harry Potter outfits and were very disappointed that the movie left key parts of the book out, and added crap they said didn’t belong.
But they liked this, so here you go:
Where the hell is everyone? Post comments to entertain me!
Yeah! Come on you people in the internets! Make with the funny!!
BTW the latest Harry Potter blew chunks.
Okay…it’s real simple, if you watched the movie, did you like it-yes or no. If you didn’t watch the movie, why didn’t you? What’s the matter with you? You don’t like Harry Potter?
Are you one of those people who think Harry Potter introduces kids to the occult?

I didn’t watch it because Enas told me not to.
I didn’t watch it because my kids said it blew chunks, too.
I thought it was excellent.
My kids don’t want to see it, but I do.
It’s going to be difficult though, since after I watched the post video I violently spooned my eyeballs out with a melon-baller.
The book is too big to fit in a 2 hour movie.
Hopefully they will split the last book in 2 movies.
I will watch it even if nobody likes it.
I read that this movie focuses on the teen lurve bits, which were by far the most boring parts, and leaves out a lot of the Half-Blood Prince. Since said Prince is my favorite character by far, the moviemakers can bite me.
(If I watch the DH movie, it would be for The Prince’s Tale…although I dislike some parts of that chapter. There was at least one thing that made me sit up and go, “Really, JKR? REALLY?”)
Mrs. Peel – I saw it. Your assessment in your 1st paragraph is spot-on. Also, the entire hunt for the necklace horcrux was given short shrift. I will say that it was beautifully filmed.
I read that this movie focuses on the teen lurve bits…
Yup. Lotsnlots of snogging. And lots of discussions about who should and/or shouldn’t be snogging with who. And when they weren’t doing that it was people skulking around. It was all so tedious. I was dying for some real juicy action bits. And then when we finally get something I was “Oh. That’s it?”
I haven’t read the books so this is just my reaction to the storyline as presented in the movie.
That does sound dull.
Oh, And no battle in the Great Hall!?!?! WTF were they thinking???
awesome!
“I read that this movie focuses on the teen lurve bits, which were by far the most boring parts, and leaves out a lot of the Half-Blood Prince. Since said Prince is my favorite character by far, the moviemakers can bite me.”
SPOILER WARNING.
I can agree with that.
I have not read any of the books. But this was my takeaway from the movie, and indeed a pretty accurate synopsis of the conversation my wife and I had on the drive home. The movie was all about awkward angsty teen crushes, and there was zero story on exactly what being “The Half-Blood Prince” meant. Honestly, since all I know is what the movie presented to me, it seems like “The Half-Blood Prince” is nothing more than a gothy little nickname that Snape gave himself while a schoolboy. The Hogwart’s version of that pale little goth kid named Nathaniel in real-life, but can’t wait to get home, get online, and immerse himself in “Deathscythe,” his EQ character.
Which, I mean, were this the case, it fits completely with the Snape charcter, and how supremely awesome Alan Rickman is at being awkward and wierd. Really the only other movie I know him from was Dogma, though, so he couldn’t go anywhere but up to me…
So actually, if anyone feels like completely dweebing out here (now that the thread is essentially dead) and filling me in on the real story of The Half Blood Prince, I’d love to hear it.
Because this movie should have been titled Harry Potter and The Hormonal Headache Named Hermoine. Harry Potter and the First Muggle Snuggle. Ugh.
