Half-Blood Prince!

All right, I'm starting to get out of the blogging mood lately. This problem needs to be rectified. I need to blog more. I love blogging. It's a way to get me to write, which I love. All right, on to HARRY POTTER.

So, most people know that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince came out in theaters July 15. I am proud to say I saw it at midnight! I saw it again today with my mom, and she loved it. I loved it too. Sure, it was missing a bunch of stuff, but I've accepted the fact that movies change from the books.

The Felix scene was HYSTERICAL! And, since I love Doctor Who, I loved Tom Riddle saying, "You're the Doctor, aren't you?" I don't know what they're going to do in deathly hallows, considering all the horcruxes weren't shown, and the Elder Wand was just...there. Did anyone else want Harry to just break down and cry and hug Professor McGonagall at the end when he was in Dumbledore's office? I thought that would have been nice. I love McGonagall. There should have been more Lupin, Tonks, and Neville though.

I didn't cry the first time when Dumbledore died. I just kinda laughed at it. When you read that part in the book, you've reached a point where you admire Dumbledore for his kindness, acting like a father figure to Harry, and just being funny sometimes. The movies haven't really portrayed that part of Dumbledore, so it wasn't that sad the first time. I didn't feel like the movie showed Dumbledore dying, just someone a bit similiar to Dumbledore. It wasn't the same.

The second time, however, I did cry. I thought it was sad that Harry had lost yet another person so close to him. Someone who had always been there for him. The movies sort of portrayed that, but not the same way as the books. Still, I found it a lot more sad the second time.

As a movie alone, I loved it. As a movie that was made to follow the book, I liked it.

I'll post a blog about other stuff soon. Just wanted to type this up before I forget the details.
