We know about Yates not being comedic director, but we never knew Morgan Ross was a memer.. Them captions whilst showing Harry and Ginny scenes.. I laughed more than I should’ve 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
True
Hello...can you make videos about the story of nagini
me too
I watched that at least 3 times
Harry had more chemistry with Severus Snape's textbook than Ginny.
LOL
He gave it more screen time, such is true
Hahaha 🤣
Very true.
"chemistry"
Goblet of fire: STOP CUTTING EVERYTHING OUT
Half blood prince: STOP PUTTING RANDOM STUFF IN
There's a difference. One had important stuff left out, the other added unnecessary shit.
Agreed
@@tonyhou9246 its normal😂
this is true
@@jerryg.kenney5666 the relationships were really just hard to watch, most of all Harry and Ginnys relationship, where in the books they were played out perfectly and it just seemed to flow with the book
I especially dislike how after Harry casts sectumsempra on Draco, in the books after doing it, he kneels beside Draco apologizing, but in the film he stands there. That’s not like harry.
Damn they made Harry soo dryy
In the books, Malfoy used the Cruciatus Curse on Harry. I can't believe he was standing there apologising, I was cheering 😂😂
@@groot8950 SAME HAHA
I don't think he should have done it though. And Ginny just blindly told him he's right while Hermione called him out on his BS. Harry could have been in serious trouble, and Ginny didn't even call him out.
@@groot8950 well in the book draco tried to crucio harry and that's why ginny defended harry and said that it was out of self defense. like she didn't say it was perfectly fine but she said that he shouldn't be hated for it because he did it out of self defense.
This one gets me, although people never seem to bring it up......
‘Kill me like you killed him, you coward-’ ‘DON’T-’ screamed Snape, and his face was suddenly demented, inhuman, as though he was in as much pain as the yelping, howling dog stuck in the house behind them- ‘CALL ME COWARD!’
That entire sequence is just breathtaking and so painful in the book. I don't think I'll ever not cry while reading it 😭
I agree. You never really saw those moments of Snape's elemental rage in the movies and those to me are an important part of his character.
Exactly! Shit made me cry when I was 15 back in 2016 and read it for the first time. I was excited to see this movie too but when I saw the lack of the Gaunts and insane levels of romance I was like…huh?
Dumbledore-I noticed you have been spending a great deal of time with miss Granger.
Me-They have been spending a great time since they were 11 years old.
lmfao
So out of place for Dumbledore.
ShOeLAce
Dumbledore wants Harry to spill the tea
I hated the forced in romance in this. It could've been all cut out and focused on Voldermort's origins. I mean seriously, when I first walked out of the film, my reaction was, "Did I just watched Twilight?"
Shoelace
Hxney_pxt y’a Twilight was better that half blood prince and I hate twilight
I hope you learned how to speak properly since then
Mince Pie Scene
Ginny: Do you trust me?
Harry: Did you Wash your Hands??
@@Xehanort10 agree 100%
Half blood prince also didn’t have enough of Harry’s sass. I mean they left out “there’s no need to call me sir professor”!
I read the book after I watched the movie, but I know exactly what you mean. Harry's very outspoken and even hot-headed sometimes. He says and does things that he feels is right without thinking about what other people will say.
They went for funny and didn’t even include the funniest part in the series, and it would have shown more of the half blood princes book too, which was when Snape asked to see Harrys school books and he took Ron‘a copy of advanced potions making which had roonil wazlib written in it because of Fred and George’s dodgy autocorrect (for want of better term) quill
The Sassy Boy Who Lived
Gacha Zara Girl wait did they left that line our? wait i swear ive heard it in the movie
Yes
They unfortunately left out that holy line
😭
One running joke I always loved in the books was Harry saying "Snape" and Dumbledore always intervening with "PROFESSOR Snape, Harry".
YES. So many small moments between Harry and Dumbledore were cut from the films, their relationship in the books felt so much more developed and realistic
The movies butchered Ron and Dumbledore.
SNAPEY SNAPE
Same
@@cactusmalone Ah, you see no, just no. Whoever came up with that theory is out of their mind, and has no clue what theyre talking about.
When tonks called Remus “Sweetheart” my mum was so confused she was like oh are they together when did that happen (she hasn’t read the books)
Ya my only problem with the movies is they expect most people to have read the book. So they don’t think they have to explain a lot of things
Harry Potterhead ya I guess but I do really like the movies tho
I hate it because in the books not even they aren't a couple, they are not even talking to each other... There is this whole thing going on with them, Lupin going on dangerous missions to stay away from Tonks, and Tonks being so depressed that she looses her metamorphmagus powers, and het patronus change and many other things...One of the best "scene" in the books when Harry asks Lupin about hoe could her patronus change, and Remus and Molly are just like "shit" 😂 Oh and don't forget the scene when everyone is around Bill after he was bitten by Greyback, and Tonks tells Remus that she loves him, and even McGonagall ships them, that is such a powerful scene. (And when Fleur sais she is pretty enough for both og them, that is superior) I really loved these in the books and I'm so mad that they totally left it out from the movie. They should have not include that many scene with Lavender and the awkward Hinny stuff, In my opinion Tonks and Lupin, and Bill and Fluer are a lot more interesting
@@Jake0666 that's bc when they were coming out, pretty much all of the fans would have read the books
Hxney_pxt no u would be surprised how many people watched the movies without reading the books
I'm quite fond of Tonks. Pity the movies give her so little screen time when she's awesome, and I believe many book fans love her. She's got a solid presence in the book.
THIS! One of the main reasons why I loved the books more than the movies. I mean, I loved the film adaptations from 1 to 4, but starting from the 5th one, I just stopped watching. Ironically, the 5th book was my most favorite out of all the HP books.
@@BlazeStar2095 @Mhel Lopez i love the 5th book too. At least i did, haven't reread hp book for some years.
Sirius was less pleasant than before. But i still put it within understandable range, he did spend all these years locked up. But what harm is there to use polyjuice potion or transfiguration to change his appearance and go outside? Whats dangerous about that? Dumbledore can be....unreasonable sometimes. Well, padfoot still my favorite, and first time i read the book as a kid and saw he died i was really upset. Didnt want to believe it.
Love all the drama involving umbridge. She's the most loathsome character for me in hp franchise, much more than voldemort. Secret rebel group is exciting. And the pranks from the whole school amused me to no end.
And dumbledore...dumbledore still wears bows on his beard, blue, pink, shiny robes with stars or any number of cute things. But with our old and more book accurate professor passed away, new professor is much less colorful. The tone for the entire character changed. It suits the darker tone for later movies...but well. If dumbledore was like the 3rd year one when i start as a 1st year, i probably wouldnt think him wise or genius, or as magical. His eyes dont twinkle anymore. Sigh. Wanted to see how people think of dumbledore when he continued to be like the first two films and thus like in the book. Mr. Harris played him to be so likable. Maybe there wouldnt be so many dumbledore dark manipulator fanfic then. Haha.
Same. She isnt my favourite, but I cant blame Lupin wanting better for her. I ship them, but it's like she deserves heaven
Ikr
I watched the movie first, and before I read the book I had no idea who the hell Tonks was. Like I heard the name, and I guessed that Nymphadora was Tonks, but it wasn't until I read the books that I realised she was like a shapeshifter (can't remember what it's called in the wizarding world) which was why she could change her face. I also wasn't sure if she was the one who died at the end of DH pt2
The only good thing in this movie was Draco. According to me, Tom Felton's acting was the best in this one
Anooshka Bajaj The scene on the tower kills me every time
brettmyrter Yes!!! I agree
According to me?😂
He was really good and his acting was well but I don’t think that was the only good thing even though the film is boring sometimes and the romance scenes didn’t work out but I still like this film. The cinematography was amazing probably the best of all Harry Potter films alongside with prisoner of Azkaban and deathly hallows part 2 ,also the soundtrack was very beautiful and relaxing. Michael Gambon’s acting was really good as well. It was his best performance as Dumbeldore.
Anooshka Bajaj Yah Tom Felton has amazing acting
I started liking ginny and Harry together in the books when Harry asked, "Fancy trying to find a compartment?" This was when they were on the train going back to Hogwarts at the beginning of the session. Ron and mione were off to their prefect duties. Ginny said that she had to meet Dean and left( her long red hair flowing behind her). That was just so so strong that it gave me goosebumps. Also, the time when Harry smelled Ginny's smell during their potions class when amortentia was shown to them. These little hints made readers interested and also added on so much to their relationship.
Hahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahah
Fellow potterhead and army!
Yes! I really liked the thing with Ginny's perfume, that was a very well-executed hint, and true to life, I thought. Our sense of smell is our most primal, and has the most direct connection to our brains.
Sorry, I'm a big fan of romance and I say that with no shame! JKR is horrible at writing romance. One of the worst. While there were a few hints, it's true, we the readers saw virtually no interaction. So the romance and attraction came suddenly and with no real explanation. We see a real relationship between Harry and Hermione and even with Harry and Luna, but we're simply told that there's interaction between Harry and Ginny. Their scenes together are flat and dull. Harry/Hermione, and Harry/Luna have some really deep and moving scenes. So the whole Ginny/Harry thing is just boring and not particularly believable. I think JKR just wanted a way to make Harry a part of the Weasley family and Ginny was a convenient ploy to do so.
@@cocokai9661 Well, that is the thing. She isn't a romantic writer. She doesn't write such stories. But it's a completely different world she had created. So, she defo had to put romance into it. Not everyone can write what she wrote. So, it's not a bad thing. And if you don't like it, then it doesn't necessarily mean that noone else does. Hermione and Harry have an amazing chemistry but many people like their friendship better. It just shows how a male and a female can be so close and yet be just friends and that's just great on jk's behalf. I absolutely love that concept. You can like them all you want. It's your opinion. I just put mine. I absolutely love Harry and ginny together. I kinda knew from the first movie that they were gonna be together. Dk, just had that intuition.
15:03 In the books, Fleur actually said something along the lines of, "I am good looking enough for both of us," something that makes me laugh every time I read it, but it also makes me feel happy for them.
She also says that this is the proof her husband is brave which is so cute
I was actually touched by that in the book. In the goblet of fire, I didn't like fleur and I thought she was a brat and everything. But when she married Bill and she said, she'd love him no matter how he looks after he got attacked, I took my thoughts back,because I kinda didn't expect that from her. I think we all got her wrong first.
This line is weird but at the same time cool
I feel like if they adapted Harry Potter to the screen today it would be better as a series, similar to GOT. There's just so much to fit into one movie with the books.
I'm hoping to see a tv adaptation at some point in my lifetime
Season 1 should be both the philosopher's stone and the chamber of secrets though. Both books are quite short and it could take a couple years between each season so it would ensure that the actors don't get tired of their roles and want to quit. 8/9 1 hour episodes each season for 6 seasons would be a good length.
I think an animated series would work best because recasting is not as big of an issue, it’s easier to do magical special effects and the actors/production wouldn’t be compared to the films continually.
@@stephaniem6482 there won’t be. Agree with original commenter. I personally would have liked 4, 5, and 6 and not just 7 to be two movies each.
Yeah the structure of the books is just better suited to a series, with how each of them covers one school year. I even thought that back when the movies were first coming out.
The way they just destroyed Ginny's character and subsequently, her relationship with Harry, pisses me off to this day. They were my favorite couple and in the books seemed to come together so organically , ugh. I hope if they ever reboot the series they do this justice, but then again I don't think they should reboot it any time soon , it was a huge franchise and I'd have a hard time replacing the original actors in my mind.
i agreeeeeeee
I honestly dont want them to remake the movies, cause I only think of as Daniel Radcliffe as harry, like i wouldnt be able to replace him or all the other actors. It would be nice to have something new but honestly, I would be sooo confused. I dont think anything else can compare to the og hp series....
@Olaf the Snowman very true, u made a good point whoever im torn, on the one hand i want a new harry potter film to watch but also i donyt rlly want them remade, like maybe they could make a marauders back story or dumbledores childhood movie, or an actual continuation to the series cause I DO NOT LIKE THE CURSED CHILD and i want a good movie made like all of those i think would do rlly well in the fandom, so i think thats a very good idea to like make films like that instead of remake!
This explains why I see so many people saying that Ginny was a flat character and that Harry should've ended up with Hermione. Those people presumably only watched the movies, and only draw assumptions from movie Ginny.
You just had an argument with yourself
MovieFlame: What went wrong with the Half-Blood Prince.
Snape: Excuse me?
Ten points from Gryffindor!!
They also had a misoprotunity when they didn’t dress Dumbledore in funky clothing when he visited the orphanage.
So true, and by the way I visited your channel and you said to leave feedback in that video, but comments are turned off so I think u gotta post a community tab or something as a way of people getting in contact with you, that's just a suggestion :)
Wasn't he wearing a purple suit? There'd be some novelty in seeing Michael Gambon dressed like the Joker.
Andrew Lance yep and had ginger hair
Joker Dumbledore walks in and just kills young Tom Riddle
Directed by George Lucas
Learn A Lot With Grace it was funky, but it didn't... amazed. The purple was kinda dead and the filter didn't helped
I've never agreed with another's opinion so much. You named every single problem that I had with this film. The Burrow fire scene was so stupid! I hated every second of it. And the cringe. THE CRINGE with the romances. Not one is well done. Such a shame 'cause it's my fave book as well.
I remember watching all of the films after I read the books and was i was so confused with that scene!
I am only 12 so I actually watched the movies before but since I've read the books the movies seem so disappointing
Also the part where Bellatrix just goes around shouting ik killed sirius is just trash
@@fancy_rattus yo same! I was like, 'Hey! That wasnt in the book and that doesnt make sense!
I agree with you so much. This movie is the one movie i havent rewatched more than thrice
I realized one thing that's very disappointing in the later movies is they're not wearing Wizarding robes. Unless they need to be in Muggle clothes for the plot, they should be in robes. It would add a lot to the movies if they were wearing robes when they were supposed to, like while they're inside Hogwarts. The movies don't feel as magical anymore because they abandoned the robes.
That, and the lack of color in the spell casting (and complete lack of creativity). The first three (and even #4) had bright colors in the magic, even when the scenes were tonally dark. Everything is so grey in the later movies. Even the candles in the Great Hall don't look like candles because they're so muted. In the last movie, there's a triumphant moment where McGonigal fights Snape and lights the candles back up. But it's so underwhelming because the room only lights up maybe 5%. The clothes, the magic... it's all lifeless.
Davis Parks I think it’s to show a much grimmer nature. At first, it’s all bright because the magical world is something special but over time, everything is revealed to be less glamorous.
Besides, I don’t think Harry would do well in deep forests wearing full wizarding attire with long robes.
@@Chan-qk9eh But you can do dark with color. Look at Lord of the Rings. All three of them are dark movies but they're so vibrant and magical. Heck, even the end of Chamber of Secrets is dark and that scene is also really vibrant and magical. The last 4 movies are so grey and aesthetically boring. They strip away what's so special about the book series.
Davis Parks never saw lotr
I guess. But dark color can be used smartly. Coming from the point of view of an artist, if you want the light to be noticed, best bet is to start off with a black or grey and then add in your highlights. So the movies could’ve been a darker color but then have moments when it’s a bit lightened to bring focus to this happiness inside the dark.
@@sivad1025 POA had the best use of color imo, while it had a dark and grim look it still managed to retain a sort of vibrancy mainly in how they used contrasting colors, the later movies took the wrong lessons and made it look dark but at the same time made everything look flat and dull. Harry potter lost that "magical" quality once david yates took over, he tried to make everything seem more "realistic" but really he just made it more boring. I wish they got more directors like Cuaron to handle the HP movies. Yates in no way did a terrible job but his movies just ranged from good to ok.
When I originally watched HP i had never read the books and wondered how and why hermione and ron became a couple instead of harry and hermione because daniel and emma's chemistry was so much better. When i asked my friend who he thought were the better couple between harry and ginny and harry and hermione, he said ginny and harry 100% and i'd wondered why until i read the books. Then I finally understood, cause in the movies ginny is so underused and just not shown to be a good character cause she was just shown to be a bland, awkward character to fill space. Then when they did get together in the movie at the end it felt so off since harry and hermione had much better chemistry the entire series (especially adding the dancing scene in deathly hallow pt 1).
Which I my opinion just made Ron and Hermione an awkward couple (I still dont ship harry and Hermione). Especially that awkward dance scene between harry and Hermione!
Even rowling agrees that Harry and Hermione would've been the better couple
@@fancy_rattus yeah I never saw the romance between them in the movies. And Harry/Hermione looked better on screen together, the dance while awkward was something that hinted at a relationship between them that was entirely misleading. Plus as i said in my first message, emma and daniel had great chemistry the entire series
SpiriT -PUBG M She said a lot of things AFTER. I wish she can just shut the fuck up and stop making things up. Anything that is unsaid in the books are left for readers’ own imagination and she’s ruining it for so many
@@greetingsearth387 I know that (half blood prince ) but you need to use pottermore and follow interviews
She clearly states in one that Harry and Hermione would've been the better couple
Another thing you didn’t mention that personally ruined it for me was the color tone. Ik that this was based on one of the darkest books in the series but I seriously think that the color tone was way to dark. It made it look unnatural during every scene that took place in lighter places like the great hall or outside several times. And in the scenes where it was dark like the cave it was simply impossible to see what’s going on. I do believe this movie should’ve had a darker color tone but I don’t think it should’ve been quite as dark and so unnatural.
So true! It looks so murky and like someone sapped all the contrast out of the picture. It’s just like a big grey/brown haze. The picture was still dark in GoF and OoTP
but they also had a much sharper contrast. Here it’s just so hazy and ugly looking…
I completely agree. I would love to see someone edit the film with better colouring. The colours are so hideous not to mention it looks like there's a strange fuzzy filter over everything. It's so hard to watch
The original cut was way too dark and the studio asked them to turn it up because it was difficult to see and they still came out with this
I’ve always realised how this particular movie looks so saturated and orange sometimes. It look too unnatural and odd, even for a magical environment.
it didn't even set the mood it was going for, it just looked drab and lifeless
Let's not forget that snape was finally Defense against the dark arts teacher and did NO teaching at all.
EXACTLYYYY
The lack of voldemort really hurt this film. And what hurt even more was what it was replaced with..
This was also my favorite book. But this was definitely my least favorite movie.
Teton Gerard Jai Hoffman
Voldemort to your comment: *YES SEE MY FACE. SEE MY FACE!*
@@phatwetshit4448 😂😂
Honestly, my biggest gripe with the movie is the color. It feels like someone had the black-and-white setting to 50%. It made the movie weirdly dull to look at. Even Fred and George's joke shops colors felt dull, and that's supposed to be on the brightest parts of Diagon Alley at the time.
My second biggest gripe was the editing when Harry jumped away from the water when the Inferi grabbed his arm. I swear there was 2 cuts per second, as he's moving back. It looks too unnatural and extremely choppy, and extremely distracting.
Same
My biggest gripe is how the potion Dumbledore drinks doesn't sufficiently weaken him the way book portrayed it did... he seems almost normal when coming out of the cave and in the Astronomy tower. He's supposed to be severely weakened, and uses the last of his strength to burn the Inferi and scoop up the locket.
All David Yates movies look like this. It's to make it dark and gritty
Talking about filter, I hated the colours in prisoners of azkaban
Oh wow I thought the color and the tone of the movie is what made it good and kinda unique. But I can understand your view.
Gotta miss that scene from the book, where Dumbledore politely dissed the Dursleys while offering some mead and giving no f*cks at all. That was truly satisfying.
One thing I really like that the movie did was Harry and Hermione being open to each other about their feelings for the two youngest Weasley's. It was always implied in the book that Hermione suspected Harry had feelings for Ginny and It was implied that Harry suspected Hermione and Ron's feelings for each other going all the way back to the yule ball. I really appreciated those scenes where they are open with each other.
I literally got this notification when I was watching the scene where Harry makes Dumbledore drink. That was so strange. Almost... magic.
On Syfy...???
Alumanadi song 🔺🔼
Going through Voldemort's past and seeing where he got all his Horcruxes from was some really interesting shit. The relationships stuff was on the back burner because ultimately it didn't matter. Ron never ends up with Lavender so why dedicate half a movie to it. The Troll stuff had me in hysterics I had no idea that was a thing.
In the books, the Ron and Lavender story is important because it makes Ron and Hermione realize they want to be together. And it makes Ron relatable because we've all made awkward attempts at relationships as teenagers...
Also, the unsuccessful romances were shown IMO to point out that war influences even young people with their usual teenage problems and the fact that they all come together in the end and fight in the Battle of Hogwarts, because fighting Evil is more important than past romances and relationship problems. "So young... to be fighting so many."
But I agree, focusing on them in the HBP movie at the expense of other plotlines was totally ridiculous!
Daniel Cooper there is a running gag in the book about a moving painting of trolls being taught ballet by a wizard.
It’s like they were trying to make it as bad as they could without it being obvious
They murdered Ginny, and her relationship with Harry too. She was one of my favourite book characters.
She was my last favourite character in the books.
To much of a Mary Sue and very annoying in Half blood Prince.
@@konanxhidan3202 Totally agree! Ginny is the most Mary Sue character I've seen!
Jean Costa that’s true she is perfect she should have at least one flaw
I see your point. Can't say it annoyed me in the books but I do agree she could've been less perfect.
Konan x Hidan the actor was worse in my opinion
I was so sad when they didn’t add “Ron’s nod of approval”. I always thought he approved of Ginny and Harry because he was relieved that Harry didn’t like Hermione that way.
I really think it was the direction that took away from Ginny’s character way more than the acting. They just flat out did not give Bonnie enough good material to work with, and she was never given the chance to make Ginny’s character live up to the books. I really think the actress could’ve rocked it if given the chance.
If David Yates just stuck with the main storyline, left clues about who the identity Half-Blood Prince is, and ignore the romance parts, then maybe we would perhaps get a good Harry Potter movie.
I also think this movie is one of those where he could add more adult themes with an NR extended edition.
Arrogance. I’m the director, I’ll make it better
I would love if you make a video about how the movies disrespected Ron's character ark .
Yeeeees!!
Yeah totally
10:00 David Yates, hands down. Bonnie can channel the correct Ginny but is never allowed to. They sabotaged her.
I never figured out who’s fault it was since Ginny in the movies never had any of the personality that she had in the books. How many of her best lines did they even use in the movies? In the books, she was rebellious and funny, I never got that at all from the movies.
Actually I think Steve Kloves is as much if not more to blame since he wrote all but one of the scripts. Ginny's better portrayal in OOTP was down to Michael Goldenberg.
Hinny is literally such a beautiful ship. I don’t blame Daniel and Bonnie for the way it was handled so terribly in the film. I blame the writer and directed.
With you there
Learn A Lot With Grace yeah they looked like how I pictured Harry and Ginny in my head but just were way more awkward and cringe.
hinny is super rushed in the book tho
In the movies they didn’t build Harry and ginnys relationship properly because apparently the writers and directors shipped Harry and hermione more before they found out the final pairings
dormiens how so? She liked him when she saw him when she was 10. She began knowing him as her brothers’ friend and then as a romantic interest. Their first kiss happened after 6 years of knowing each other, if that’s not slow and steady idk what is.
I do remember a friend told me that Ginny in the book turned into a beautiful girl that literally everyone in hogwarts was slobbering over and that she was this cool and confident girl which only make her more desiderable, essentially she became one if not the most attractive and sought after girl in the franchise after the half blood prince, but in movies that's really hard to do when you're competing with Emma Watson, another reason at least to me that if JK really reboots the film franchise, she should do it in animation.
Would it be better if Bonnie played Hermione and Emma for Ginny instead?
@@MaiNguyen-rn7zxthat is something that cannot be answered because in real life beauty is a very subjective thing, and Emma shot to fame over her constant screen time, for example, me personally never understood the public fascination with Emma Watson, she was attractive sure but not the bombshell a lot of my friends said it was at the time, to begin with, Hermione in the books was never considered attractive, that's why nobody ever simp for her the way Ginny was in the books, that's why everyone was impressed with her appearance in the goblet of fire's book version of the yule ball, and that's why it took to long for Ron to realize his feelings for her, she was essentially the ugly duckling of HP, this all boils down to the fact that this is one of the disadvantages of live-action, you can only go so far trying to cast the perfect fit for a fictional character, animation doesn't have that problem you can follow the character design to the letter by the book description, hence why I think that if they ever reboot the films, animation would be a better choice.
@@omarreyes7626 Yeah, I never quite got the infatuation/attraction towards Emma. In all honesty, I find her to be quite average.
The scene with Ginny feeding Harry at 9:10...
ugh, let’s just say I double tapped on the right side of the screen a couple of times
Harry looks like he wants to say no but he doesn't want to hurt this awkward girl's feelings.
I verbally cringe when I see that scene
Yeah their relationship in the movie was not executed well at all. Its not the actors fault they tried their best but they didnt do their characters justice in the movie from the books
Ugh the second hand embarrassment
So true
I gotta say though, the score to this movie is just amazing. Dumbledore’s Farewell, Farewell To Aragog, and When Ginny Kissed Harry are some of the best themes in the whole series.
Not gonna lie when I first watched this movie I was disappointed that there wasn't more flashbacks scenes.
It didn't occur to you that those scenes might not have been filmed due to the possibility that there might one day be a set of films which focus on Voldemort's past.
@@79bewareofpuppies97 that didn't occur to anyone
@@hottea2933 Yet it occurred to me.
R/iamverysmart
@@79bewareofpuppies97 They didn't occur because the director didn't feel they were important.
They might not have been super important for the film (except for the Horcrux memories), but many people (including me) would have still loved to see them!
It's definitely the fault of the writer rather than Bonnie , because if we see in OoP , Bonnie portraits Ginny perfectly.
I mean, yes, the writers are definitely to blame; they really did not build up the relationship in any way and in the movies it just comes out of nowhere and it's not explored at all
Ginny is also underdeveloped as a character in the movies and that is the fault of the writes
BUT also Bonnie and Dan really have no chemistry, absolutely none whatsoever
It still could've worked somehow even with the little that they were given if they had some decent chemistry but they really done have any
Their scenes were pretty awkward to watch; I'm not saying Bonnie is necessarily a bad actress but good acting and chemistry were definitely abscent and I can't help but think that maybe they should've replaced her with another actress that was more compatible and had more chemistry with Radcliffe to make it feel at least a bit more natural
Harry and Cho felt very natural in the movies and the actors had some great chemistry together, you could feel some romantic tension and the relationship was pretty believable and it's not like they had more scenes together than Dan and Bonnie
I guess you could say that their scenes were better written sure, but they were also better acted and there was more natural chemistry between the actors
@@nesirosern8596 ya i do agree to an extent
Don't you think you're making a big deal of this. Besides acting awkward around someone you like is completely normal.
@brysontipton1893 ya, it's normal, but book ginny, in HBP, isn't like that. That's her character development. She became confident and started to out of her shell.
That awkward phase was before she started dating other people
For me, the 6th film is kind of meh. Some of the sillyness I can deal with but I still agree with everything you said. Ginny's and Harry's relationship is so unbearably cringy on screen, I always skip their scenes together. For me, Tom Felton was the best thing about the film. His acting was phenomenal and he carried the movie just as much as Daniel Radcliffe did with far less screentime.
as a person who cringes in the slightest things possible in some fandoms i dont bother watching this movie
The ending could’ve made up for all of the bullshit. An all out battle after dumbledores murder would have been chilling to watch.
Exactly bc the movie failed to put such a beautiful relationship and made it so awkward and cringey . You have to read the books it has been displayed do nicely there by J.K Rowling
@@anushah1687 yeah, the screen writer was a hardcore harry/hermoine shipper, so he butchered ron and ginny's personality and gave all their traits to hermoine
I started this series yesterday, and wondered "when will he make another"
Love the channel. Keep up the great work
Hermione and Harry had more chemistry than Harry and Ginny in the movies.
ARE YOU SHIPPING HARRY X HERMIONE?
Nope. I ship Harry and Ginny and Ron and Hermione. But they did Hinny so wrong in the movies.
Ikr
@polaryn yes. Hiiny is one of the most powerful couple in the books.
It's probably I am not a fan of Ginny and Harry. Not a fan or Cho and Harry either. I thought he has better chemistry with either Hermione or Luna.
That one word change thoo.. Mean to annoy..
Such a great difference..
I always thought the other boys bullied tom riddle because he was different..
Instead now turns out that he was the one who was willing to do anything to anyone if they interfered in any way in his way of life
Same and I read the books and watched the film. I always thought Tom was bullied at the orphanage and it was solely because of that 1 change.
Short answer: the color tone.
This scathing take down of the film will always lift my spirits. You’re absolutely hilarious in this video, as well as spot-on in your commentary.
This was actually the movie I was most looking forward to in 2009. The dark, gloomy look and the trailer got me hyped. I thought it'd be action packed so I'll give that to the guys who made the trailer. The movie is fine but now that I know how much stuff was left out from the book I can understand why fans are annoyed with it.
So you’ve never read the books? Read them, it’s the best book series ever.
Not liking
Coz 69, huh, noice
Ginny and Harry in the films make me so uncomfortable.
ik i litterallly cry abou how horrible they are in the movies
To be honest they did Ginny dirty in the whole series. After the 2nd movie, she’s basically relegated to being nothing more than a cameo in movies 3,4&5 and then suddenly in 6 Harry’s supposed to like her? Just out of the blue. Not to mention their scenes were cringy in the film and lacked development. The reason Ron and Hermione works is we see their relationship develop over 7 books and 8 films. Harry and Ginny had less interaction in the films than Ron and Dumbeldore. They needed to have at least made ginny have some conversations with him at least in the 5th movie.
They ruined them in the films, they were so much better in the books
Well, she did give him fierce looks in the last one.
The best scenes in the movie were:-
1- the climax
2- 1 class of professor slughorn
3- Secptrumserma spell
4- The opening scene
5- All darco Malfoy scenes
Right! Like the only thing I love was the scenes of Draco which (in my opinion) was better than the books
Agreed
*Sectumsempra
*Draco
my favorite part was the whole time harry was under the felix potion because it feels like they just told dan to act like himself while delivering the lines. the "not to mention the pincers" line always cracks me up
I'm still mad that they burned down the burrow but didn't show more of Voldemort's memories... That would've ben so good.
Wow, the more I read comments, the more and more disappointed I am with how amazing this movie could've been. I didn't read any of the books, so from just watching the films, I was entertained and loved them. But after hearing all of the massive moments cut from the books, I'm really frustrated they weren't put to the film. What a waste of a great cast, budget, VFX team, set locations, score composers...blah. That's aggravating.
I think you can add things to a book adaptation as long as it supplements the story. For example, Alfonzo added a bunch of stuff to Prisoner of Azkaban that wasn’t in the book, but they weren’t super important plot point. They were just little scenes that made the story have better pacing
Draco’s back must have hurt from carrying this movie
sure but my back hurt from arching too much whenever i see malfoy
this is a joke i swear
@@sly4k0r im weak asf💀🖐
Tbf dracos parr was the only loyal thing to the book
Why people hate this movie? I really liked it.
It really annoyed me that they left out all the Voldemort memories and ESPECIALLY how they treated the half blood princes book! Harry literally admired that book, even after performing sectumsempta on Malfoy, in the movie, they made it seem like it was something dangerous to be hidden away to stop Harry going down a dark path, but Harry justified the prince in the novel, not the spell, but he was showing signs of being a huge fan of the half blood prince, they really missed the mark of how much Harry and Ron too admired the half-blood prince, unbeknownst to them both it would end up being the person they hated most. Plus, to cut out the funniest part of the whole series even when trying to make it a comedy, AND would have incorporated Harry’s love for the half-blood prince’s book (and the real reason why he hid it in the room of requirement) is a full on crime. ROONIL WAZLIB was a lost opportunity. The relationship stuff was awful, especially Harry and Ginny lacking that chemistry as much as they did, and Yates butchering ginny’s confident character. The astronomy tower battle, and as I mentioned earlier, Voldemort’s memories which made half-blood prince my favourite book of the series. So much detail given to us of Voldemort’s past. Snape was my favourite character, didn’t have enough of him in this movie when it was all about him showing his “true” side. Also neglecting to mention how it was Snape who told Voldemort about the prophecy, to say nothing of how little they talked about the horcruxes, as dumbledore already guessed what a lot of them were but maybe the ignorance of the objects made it better for deathly hallows part 1.
I swear half the video is about the failure of Harry and Ginny’s relation in such a strong manner
I agree completely though
The thing that I like about the movie is that it has some of the best music and cinematography in the whole series
I guess it was more the music combined with the current cinematography, like the quidditch match, the apparating to the cave, or in the cave with the fire
How muggles become wizards.........and how Hermione who was a muggle use her magic spells in train in the phleosphers stone with out studing it in Hogwarts school
100%. I still listen to this soundtrack. The cinematography and music in this film are top tier. Aragog's funeral scene gives me goosebumps every time and the deleted choir scene is masterful.
Dumbledore: what about your relationship with ms granger
Me: cringing so hard I almost die
Dumbledore would never have said that 😂
I thought it was sweet so.
LITTERLY DUMBLEDORE ASKED THAT ALBUS PERCIVAL WULFRICK BRAIN DUMBLEDORE ASKED THST LIKE NOOO
What also is incredibly frustrating is that Daniel and Bonnie do have chemistry together. OoTP you see it when she casts her Reducto curse and you see it when he saves her in CoS and when they kiss in the second 7th. Like the chemistry is there, it was just poorly written. Which really sucks because they are canon as soulmates.
The scene with Harry and Dumbledor at the train Station replaces one of the funniest scenes for me from the books. The way Dumbledor interact with the durselys is great and makes me laugh every time. Also there is an importantance in the scene between Petunia and Dumbledor
Oui mais en même temps, je trouve ça très bien que ce film ne commence pas chez les dursleys. Moi personnellement, je trouve que toutes les scènes chez les dursleys sont très lourdent, et elles occupent souvent une place trop importante dans les films en terme de temps. La scène où Harry drague une serveuse est un peu lourde, c'est vrai, mais elle permet d'introduire les choses plus rapidement et de donner un bon rythme au film, dans la continuité de l'attaque du pont par les mangemorts
The best parts of this movie are ever scene Draco’s in because of Tom Feltons acting and the few memories that are shown in my opinion
Globet of Fire: I'm the worst HP film.
Half-blood prince: Hold my beer
Goblet of fire at least had a decent color tone & fairly decent action scenes throughout the course of the movie.
Literally the only thing I remember about this movie is Mcgonagall telling Harry and Ron to go to class, Dumbledoor dying & Lavender being a complete nut job.
Yeah. Half Blood Prince is the worst of them all
Butter beer*
Eh, I've always liked Goblet of Fire.
I really didn't like how they wasted lupin and greyback being in the same place at the same time. They could've had him interact with him atleast!
Your review of the movie was brilliant! You put so much effort into this video. Thanks. It made so much sense for me now as a person who never got to read the books, I was so confused when I watched the Half-blood prince film.
Whether you dislike the film or not, you have to admit, it had some of the best lines. When McGonagall said to Harry “Take Mr. Weasley with you, he looks far too happy over there,” I thought that was the funniest thing.
even bad things can have good moments XD just look at Evan Almighty. I think it was completely unnecessary and the story made no sense...but it has a fantastic quote about prayer
“I like riding on trains”
Ladies and gentlemen, the chosen one
I think Chris Columbus understood the series the best and was the perfect director for the first two movies. Alfonso Cuarón is an amazing director- honestly I think he’s a genius. He’s the one who made the series dark and gave it the vibe we all know and love. Changing directors in GoF was a huge mistake imo, the vibe completely changes. Then in OotF I feel like David Yates tries to copy Alfonso’s directing, which he did to an extent but he just doesn’t compare :( I wish Alfonso had directed 3-8.
The actors raved about each of the directors. I think the writing was the worst thing that happened between the books and movies. Jk needed to put her foot down a lot more!
Agree
Book Harry: I wonder if Dumbledore will come.
Movie Harry: *I LIKE TRAINS*
Is that an adsf movie reference
Lol I m laughing at these comments they are real comedy unlike the faults
what bothered me about the whole series is the fact that they were able to get rid of Voldy's nose but couldn't make his eyes red.......
I read somewhere that they wanted to make him look more 'human'. They did that intentionally.
@@Godogolden OK well they could have at least CGI'd Harry's eyes to be Green so whenever someone tells him he has his mother's eyes... they don't look like complete liars!
On that note, they could have made the Child actors who played Lilly also have green eyes with CGI as well!
@@Blueskylar1995 You don't realize how much extra needless work that would require, do you? No, you don't.
@@79bewareofpuppies97 probably less work that removing Voldemort's nose!
I think they did it to make the movies watchable for younger kids.. Shining, red, cat-slit eyes would have become scarier for them. Personally, I like to take a reference from 'Pazuzu from the Exorcist;... something like that would have been a kickass Voldemort.
5:00 Danid Yates would have been a good director for the movie. He just decided to focus on romance and comedy which, as you say, are not his expertise. His expertise would have been Voldemort's past, the darkness of the world on account of his return, the mission he gave to Draco, the Half-blood Prince and so on. Romance and Comedy should have been his secondary focus, like you said.
I know this has been said over and over but I’m gonna day it. The movie should’ve focused more on Voldemort’s back story. House of gaunt, how he got some of the horcruxes. I would’ve loved to see him return to hogwarts and ask dumbledore for a job. Wish it would’ve focused on all this instead of the Ron/Lavender/Hermione thing. It’s sad cause this is my favorite book
Also I wanted to see the battle of the astronomy tower. They should’ve done that instead of the burrow
That song when the light shines onto Snapes face is called Lily’s Theme, which is kinda of self explanatory - why he changed sides to Dumbledore - Lily’s death and wanted to protect Harry (even those he’s absolute shit at it)
Isn't this song called "In Noctem"
Lily's Theme was a theme composed by Alexandre Desplat for The Deathly Hallows Part 2, to show Snape's secret, origin and feelings. The music that sounds in this scene is called In Noctem, and it was composed by Nicholas Hooper for The Half Blood Prince, to show during that deleted scene Draco's and Snape's feelings before they were going to kill Dumbledore.
The part about Tom being bullied was a topic of conversation on my recent trip to Orlando with my daughter. She tried to tell me he was bullied and I explained to her about that one word change, changing the tone of that scene. I will be sending her this video too.
One of my biggest issue In this film is they never really explain why Dumbledore showed Harry the 2 memories either. They never say he’s doing lessons with Dumbledore or anything it’s just like oh here look at these two random memories and get me this one and let Slughorn collect you. It’s nothing like that in the book. It seems like they spent so much time making up cute scenes and lines that they forgot the entire story they were meant to be telling.
Too Much damn Lavender Brown. They made the Climax the Cave, and falling action Dumbledore death When climax should’ve been dumbledore death and the chase out. They didn’t even do the chase through the castle.
the only good relationship they made up in the movies was neville and luna
Who didn't even end up together. Neville end up with Hannah abott while Luna ended up with Rolf scamander
@@arunsingla3452 yeah, thats sad considering we never even got to be introduced to rolf and hannah that well.
Lots of great points and I generally agree with you. I do also think the cave scene of Dumbledore drinking from the basin was extremly well done. I was so sad that the gaunts were not included.
The thing I was most looking forward to was the last scene after Dumbledore's death and Battle of the Astronomy Tower, when they're in the hospital wing and Harry tells them about Snape and Tonks confronts Lupin. This part was so interesting and made us understand who Tonks really loved. And Fleur saying that she'll marry Bill no matter what. I really liked this scene and was hoping to see it in the movies. And also the first scene where Dumbledore is taking Harry from the Dursley's and talks to them about them treating Harry badly...
I love the scene with Snape and the music why did they have to cut it out
pooja bhatt I thought it was in the film
I heard that the creators decided that Alan's face was too telling - Snape's allegiance was supposed to be doubted until "The Prince's Tale" adaptation. In this deleted scene you can see that he isn't that cold murderer you should regard him as. In other words - Alan was so good he became a spoiler 😆.
brettmyrter It’s not in the original theatrical release. When you see it played on some channels, they restore a lot of the deleted scenes which I think really makes a huge difference.
@@ZielonaPastela nice theory, but they had that part where Snape has his wand pointed at Harry telling him to keep quiet, right before he kills Dumbledore.
AGAIN MY COMMENTS ARE SO STUPID AND THESE ARE 9 MONTHS AGO OMFG
HBP is the film where we first really find out that Ginny is played by a plank of wood.
I haven't watched the movie in a while so I seem to have my memory of it mixed with the book. Before this video I thought that the line Dumbledore says while leaving the cave with Harry was in the movie and realizing that it isn't really annoys me. It was one of those moments in the book that I liked a lot and knowing that they cut it honestly pisses me off. Also, every now and then i'd think of that scene where Dumbledore aparates within the grounds of Hogwarts in the movie. I really wish they didn't do that. It's just as bad to me as the goblet of fire scene where Dumbledore literally screams at Harry about his name appearing in the goblet.
Last time I was this early, dumbledore wasn’t even a student
Almost everything I hated about this movie can be described by the Sectumsempra scene. (I also hated Harry flirting with the Muggle and a few other things.)
I absolutely hate when the screen is dark all the time. I literally can't even see the movie. It's unbearable to watch. A few scenes can be dark (the tower scene/Dumbledore dying and the Unbreakable Vow at Spinner's End were fine), but the entire movie was dark and it was just horrible. Why is the Hogwarts bathroom so dark? I know they're trying to make it dark for the evil/dark vibe, but it's just bad. Why is Hogwarts dark? Fred and George's shop? The Burrow? The Quidditch pitch? Even in dark scenes can they at least illuminate it so we can see? It would be way MORE effective at showing the evilness/darkness vibe if the bathroom was lit normally, and the scary Sectumsempra scene happened in full light. Malfoy's bright red blood would be way more "dark" than looking like it was filmed in a basement.
THERE WAS NO EMOTION! The only emotional acting in the whole movie was Malfoy pointing his wand at Dumbledore. All the rest of the emotion in the movie was either really bad/awkward or nonexistent. Why is Harry just standing there after he curses Malfoy? Can't he rush forward, drop to his knees, say in a panicked voice, "No... no..." Why does Harry just stand there, blank? The Snape comes in and they just look at each other and Harry leaves? I really wish they had the scene with Snape asking for Harry's potions book. The movie mostly left out the Prince's book. And that leads me to the next point...
The movie isn't telling the story. It feels like a bunch of scenes just put together. The Sorcerer's Stone movie told the story. It was an actual movie. The Half-Blood Prince felt like a ton of clips. I didn't feel a story coming out of the movie. And they'll say oh but you'd know the story if you read the books. It's not about that. Even if you know the books perfectly, a movie is less enjoyable to watch if it's just a bunch of scenes. We need the story.
I agree. I think that harry not reacting to the damage he caused Malfoy was because of Daniel Radcliffes bad acting :p
Also, the Sorcerers Stone had a story line because it started a franchise. The HBP is treated like a filler, unfortunately
For when you ask why he didn’t go up to malfoy when he hit him, my personal guess is that he maybe didn’t realize how powerful the spell he used from snapes book was and probably didn’t expect to hurt him so bad and he was in shock? I’m not sure tho, maybe I’m wrong but either way that’s what I thought, I do see what you mean
I think the cinematography was great, right behind Azkaban’s. I don’t know why you think dark is bad. I didn’t have trouble seeing anything and I think the lighting gave the film more style.
Willow Ann Beesley i dont agree at all that daniel radcliffe did bad acting, harry had no idea what the spell would do and of course it would have taken some time for harry to process what happened. although, i do agree that HBP was like a filler movie.
Totally agree with almost everything you said. HBP was my absolute favorite book in the series, but the movie was an absolute travesty.
One thing I’ll add is that I actually really disliked the orphanage scene, because they left out Tom yelling “TELL THE TRUTH” at dumbledore. Kid Tom in the movie was soulless, but kid Tom in the book was animated, greedy, cunning, passionate, and angry. One of the most disconcerting things in the book scene was how easily Tom reigned in his emotions after Dumbledore told him off for speaking impolitely to a professor. No blame to the kid who played Tom, but he was so boring and lacked any energy or emotion. Terrible directing choices in that scene.
Especially the lack of Snape’s book annoyed me. To illustrate, I was watching the whole series with my friend, she knew the title of this film, and when we arrived at the part where Snape revealed himself as the Half-Blood Prince, my friend said: ‘yea what even is the half-blood prince?’
@buddha buddha I hope my comment made clear that she hadn’t read the books. There was almost no reference to the half blood prince
@buddha buddha No? I watched the films but I had no clue about the Half blood prince. They never explain it at all in the movies
@@96joakimvonanka - agreed. My family members who hadn’t read the books were completely confused after watching this movie regarding the significance of Snape’s revelation, other than realising that Harry had been using Snape’s textbook throughout the year and that he wasn’t a pureblood. They thought Snape was telling Harry he was some kind of magical royalty.
That’s because the later movies served more as cliff notes to people who read the books, and failed to explain crucial plot points on the assumption that everyone had read the books and just got it.
That's literally what happened with me
I watched the films before I read the books and so the films were my introduction to the story
And when I watched this movie, when this part came up and Snape said: "I'm the half-blood prince", I was extremely confused
First of all, the movie never build the suspense or the mystery surrounding the identity of the half-blood prince and so I didn't really care who he was and when Snape revealed it was him, I was like "So what?"
Secondly, I was extremely confused and was wondering what exactly is a half-blood prince and I thought that Snape is actual royalty
In the movies it is never explained that Prince is the surname of Snape's mother and so it was very confusing and I thought that Snape was an actual prince or something
I also wondered about the "half-blood" part
Generally, I'd say the movie does not do a good job with that particular storyline - I mean if you haven't read the book you even wonder why the Prince's book is so important and what relevance does it have to the overall plot
Harry and Ginny's relationship is also very badly done in the movie; it comes out of nowhere and it is never explored like what do they have in common, why do they make a good couple, what do they see in one another; in the movies it's just so random and Dan and Bonnie have zero chemistry
This movie could've been done better; it felt too random, too much like a romcom and just not exciting enough and with a lot of crucial information left out
Also the scene where the death eaters burnt down the Weasleys' house was terrible and created a major plot hole within the movies
The book is great though
Two MAJOR things they also missed/messed up:
1. Trelawney telling Harry right before he and Voldemort go to the cave about Snape being the one who overhead the prophecy and telling Voldemort, leading to his parents' death and almost his own. It causes Harry to not only hate Snape so much more, but also causes him to doubt Dumbledore, making the events in the earlier parts Deathly Hallows so much more confusing for him.
2. Dumbledore using pretrificus totallus on Harry and keeping him under the invisibility cloak before Draco disarmed him. Harry would never have just stood there and watched all that shit happen, Harry is a man of action. Instead Snape just goes "shhhh (don't worry i'll kill him, you just sit back and chill )"
THANK YOU! That scene was such a big plotwist that came out of nowhere! and then is immediatly followed by the hunt of the Horcruxes and then Dumbledore's dies by SNAPE. And then Snape is the half blood Prince? My jaw was dropping at every line.
Best sequence ever! The slow burning, the sequence that unveils the truth little by little. It starts so simple with a drunk Trelawney whining about Firenze and then BOOM, the truth hits Harry like a bomb.
All those years of rivalry with Snape comes to this moment. He wants revenge, he wants to fight, but then there is a horcrux!
And then Snape again, killing Harry's paternal figure hours after he discovered he is responsible for the murder of his parents. He chases Snape and again the terrifying true, he is the half blood Prince, It is Snape his silent ally. That was the theme of this book all along, which was unclear until that very moment. The mystery of the Prince. The mystery of Snape. Snape! Harry's enemy, Harry's ally. A man full of love and hatred.
Genius! This was JK top writing for me
I watched the movies before reading the books and instantly fell in love with it. Then I read the books.
For this movie, I was so upset how they cut the Battle of the Astronomy Tower and the grown up relationships-absolutely love Fleur in this book, especially when she called out Molly for believing that she would leave Bill(and how offended she was when she originally thought that Molly implied Bill would leave her because he was bitten).
Are we ignoring the fact that in the book Harry was immobilized under the invisibility cloak while dumbledore was killed and in the movie he is standing around like a moron?
So Harry was homeless in the beginning of the film

It's thorough and your reasoning is solid. And it was interesting to learn about the cinematic aspects. Btw I agree with you 100% :-)
In addition to the points made about the subtle hints in the book about Harry’s attraction to Ginny - in the first potions class, Harry smells a flowery scent from the burrow emitting from the Amortentia potion - already most attracted to Ginny, he just hasn’t realized yet!
half blood prince was my favorite movie and favorite book. i love the atmosphere created in the movie. it’s dark and mysterious, everything about it was good to me, it was not action packed but in a good way not a boring way

@@TheRealSnakeplays we’re all entitled to our own opinions, even tho they can be wrong.

@@yuyuyope yes
@@coolkid7151 sometimes
Me and my parents watched the films together while i knew the books and they didn't. When we watched it all they asked me for my favourite character i said Ginny and their reply based on the films was literally "Ginny? How come, she has no character in the series." and mine was "Sorry i have to go and vomit." Easily shows how poorly Yates understood Ginny's character...
I really don't think it's a bad film. It has a lot of funny moments, some cool cinematography, and some great dramatic moments too. Some things I definitely don't like. Awkward Ginny scenes, the dumb battle at the Weasley's in the middle, and the cringey Voldemort flashbacks. But there is a lot of good in the movie too.
Yes I absolutely agree about the line "I'm not worried Harry, I'm with you". It is one of my favorite lines in the series and I have yet to reread the book without getting a lump throat at that part.
I love this movie so much, one of my favorites of the HP movies... Sad to hear others don't feel that way. Even though some things really are terrible. The train station scene... ugh! Ginny and the shoelaces?!? Oh my God!
While I mostly agree to all the points made in this video, I really like Slughorn's story about the goldfish and Lily. It was such a sweet moment that always makes me cry and I love whenever Harry gets to hear about his parents. That was one of the made up scenes that fitted well in my opinion.
Agreed. FIlm Slughorn >>> Book Slughorn imo
My favorite scenes in the book were, Fudge meeting with the Prime Minister to tell him why all the strange things were happening and when Dumbledore's meeting with the Dursley's.
The title: What Went Wrong in the half blood Prince movie
Me: everything
Considering you’re least favorite book and favorite movie is order of the phoenix and favorite book and one of your least favorite movies is half blood prince, perhaps your expectations going into the films have a big impact on your opinion of it rather than the actual film.
Why did they decide to make this film so dark you could barely see the screen? :/ also agree, half-blood is probably my least favourite after goblet of fire, I think they're pretty neck and neck.
Me too! I was so so excited to see Tom Riddles memories on screen! When I realized they weren't going to show ANY of the young Voldie memories I was so disappointed ☹ who knows, maybe they will make it in when they inevitably remake all of these movies with new actors.
I agree they Failed on this one I walked out of the theatre trying not to be disappointed
As much as I want to see more voldy scenes I really don’t want a remake tbh
Brett yes definitely! And M Josena i don't want them to remake them either but they remake everything now... Harry Potter is way to valuable of a property not to remake all the movies in 50 years. If they even have the restraint to wait that long lol
Idk just hire an animator to animate the entire book
