WHERE DID THEY FILM HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE MOVIE
THE MOST EPIC OF EPIC BATTLES OF THE HARRY POTTER SERIES IS NOT IN THE MOVIE.Īlso there is no funeral for Dumbledore and the movie ends with Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the Astronomy Tower looking over the Black Lake and Hermione joking that it's okay that Harry is with Ginny as long as they keep the snogging to a minimum around Ron. And Bill is never mauled by Fenrir, so he does not become part werewolf like in the book.īut was disappoints me the most about the entire movie is that the part I have just described, has been cut out. Fenrir only appears two maybe three times in the movie whereas he should have shown up more and we never do see Fleur or Percy or Bill or Charlie Weasley in the movie.

There the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix plus the DA (Dumbledore's Army) are fighting. Technically after Dumbledore and Harry return from retrieving the horcrux from the cave, they apparate into Hogsmeade, see the Dark Mark (a trap) and go to the Astronomy Tower. Also in the book the Death Eater's do not attack the Burrow (Weasley's home), where as they did in the movie (this is supposed to be a very significant scene). Oh where shall I start? Lets see, there was no scene at the Dursley's with Dumbledore coming to visit in the movie. But wouldn't it be a good idea if JK Rowling insisted that, what with women becoming increasingly important in the narrative, there should be a female director for one of the remaining movies? I'd love to see what happened when Harry Potter met Sally Potter.Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

I have no doubt that fans of the Potter novels and films are going to have a grand time with this handsome, meandering, overlong movie. The combination of puppy love, witchcraft and the public school ethos suggests a film that might have come about in 1939, had MGM decided to conflate three of its then-current projects: Love Finds Andy Hardy, Goodbye, Mr Chips, and The Wizard of Oz Indeed, the movie might well have been called "Harry Potter and the Raging Hormones". Ron Weasley is pursued by Lavender Brown, Luna Lovegood chases Harry, who is perpetually on the point of kissing Ginny, while a neglected Hermione petulantly sulks. Newcomers and those with short memories will be baffled.īut while the very future of Hogwarts and its beloved headmaster appears to be under threat, the pupils are largely concerned with amorous adventures. There is also an expectation that the audience will bring with it a knowledge of both the regular characters and the lore that surrounds them. The film's plot is oddly wispy, the mood intentionally darker, the tone solemn and ominous, the jokes, such as they are, much broader and the special effects state-of-the-art. Slughorn has the film's best prop - an hourglass in which the sand moves more slowly when the ambient conversation is going well. Horace taught the young Voldemort before he went to the bad, and Harry's job is to extract from him buried memories of what happened way back when. He takes him to meet Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), who is to be Hogwarts's new Professor of Potions.

Which is why Dumbledore turns up on Surbiton station to whisk Harry away from an impending assignation after his brief encounter with a good-looking black waitress at the platform cafe. These darting creatures are followers of Lord Voldemort, called Death Eaters, and something like Armageddon is approaching. T his sixth cinematic outing for the young wizard and Chosen One begins with storm clouds over London and the flashing around of lethal black typhoons that initially threaten to visit retribution on City bankers (a worthy aim), but instead finish up wrecking the Millennium Bridge (a bad show).
