//Potter-Madness!! Midnight Showing. SPOILERS!


(Picture Courtesy of IMB.com)

I've been planning To go see Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince, since... well since I finished reading the book.
Last night/early morning, was scary!
I went to go see it with my sister (who did not make this experience pleasant, i might add) & my best friend L. We were in line for the 5th theater, to show at 12:01 am (took them a bit longer though.)
We sat next to these gals who were totally birtish, (their accents were heavily visible) and waited there for an hour or so?
In any case, the previews were 50/50.
The ony I really cared for was "2012"
.
mainly because basically all cultures point to this specific date as the end of the era.
Science states that there is an asteroid that will , that is a 87% chance of it hitting the earth within the next 50 years. (2037)
At least I'll be old by then. But, this movie is about essentially the end of the world, and people freaking out.
The next preview is, what I thought lame. "Despicable Me" about some guy that "steals" the pyramid of Giza?
and it starts out with American tourists and the pyramids. Whatever, I wont be seeing that in the future.
Another preview that I liked was the trailer for "Where the Wild Things Are" It was incredibly cute, and it just caught you. You see the wild things laughing, playing crying, growling, and howling with Max. i'm sure the trialer is up on YouTube, it's incredibly cute, and everyone in the theater just cheered for it, because it's a beloved book, and the story is charming. I'll definately go see that. Not like the next trailer.
I was going to leave it out because it's... not important. Twilight 2 (Yeah I'm not gonna bother with putting the actual name) Basically you see Bella getting shoved to the ground by her Abusive boyfriend and they break up and the genius leaves her int he middle of a forrest? (wouldn't an ice cream shop be better for a break up?) and some Will.I.Am looking "vampire" Comes out and tries to eat her, and "Native American" Jason? Luke? I don't know his name, but that guy who has "short hair" now? (YOu disgrace ALL native bitch! )turns in a dog (that is NOT a wolf ) and like it ends. a few people in the audience cheered, but everyone else just booed at them and the trailer and shouted things like "shut the fuck up" "Pussy Vampires" "Read REAL books" "Plaugerism!" I joined in the harrassment of the Twilight bitches. Someone's gotta save them!
Alright now for the Movie! SPOILERS!!!

Alright so let's begin with the opening scene. We see Harry and Dumbledore being photagraphed like they were Paris Hilton by like a billion wpap's (wizard papparazzi?) it cuts to the logo and then the millenium bridge goes down, and then you see the Death Eaters (Feremir,Crouch & someone else?) take Olivander his face is covered behind a black wooven bag.

COMMENTARY: We didn't need the Millenium Brigde going down. Director, you suck. Instead of wasting time and money on something dumb like this, you should've put in the Diadem scene instead of useless to the plot scenes.

I'll just give a few points that I liked or disliked.

  • Luna Love good come out more! (even if she replaces Tonks! )
  • The Burrow does NOT burn down! (read the book!)
  • Not Fluer & Bill = WTF is gonna happen in DH? (did you consider that? Where does Dobby take them?)
  • No one Cares abut Lavander Brown (who was uspposed to be black anyways?) I hate that the film deidicated itself to this instead of the Horcuxes.
  • Hermoine shows her feelings more than in the book.
  • Why don't they show the importance of Patronouses? (they are important!!)
  • The fight with Malfoy, epic! But, at the same time, wanted more from it.
  • I loved how tormented Draco was, you could see that deep down he wasn't as evil as he lead on.
  • I was under the impression that there was a "battle" at the end with Ginny, nevilla, Luna and Ron & Hermoine against the death eaters and the teacher. But this scene was cut out to "avoid repettition?" BY ALL MEANS REPEAT IT BECAUSE THE FANS WERE EXPECTING IT. and in case you didn't notice DIRECTOR, a War and battle are different, SHIT, you don't see Malfoy's dad or ------ in the LAST battle. so fuck you for making it suck so much,
  • Also wtf, we needed te funeral bitch! there is no Funeral for ------- instead they cut to The three and they pledge to find the remainder of the horcruxes.
  • Also the cave scene. I assume that in DH they will leave out that part about Dumbledores sister. Because remmebr that potion when he drank it he said "Don't hurt them!" "Leave them alone" "It's my fault" "Forgive me" he pictured that day, the day of great despair for Albus, torn between those he loved. And he didn't mention it. I'm rather sad about this, we have no closure to Albus since this scene left out his suffering.
  • On the mirror and the passing of Grimmot place are also not spoken of. (So how do we find the locket? or R.A.B? Wow, you are a genius Mr. Director. )
  • We need creature to find the last horcrux, and it's not mentioned.
Alright, I'm done rambling.
Overall, I was happy about the film, but, it could've been better. I give it as a fan: 8.5
as a n amature critique: 4 stars.


Go watch it!
it's breaking record across already broke the MOst Grossing on Midnight opening surpassing Dark Knight.
Making $20 Million are the box office, It's expected to the the highest Grossing Movie Series of all time by the end of the weekend!
I wouldn't doubt it, I gotta hand it to JK, I wish this world was real. And if it is, I wish to see it someday.
