Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince


Recommended Posts

I don't know if anyone reads my blog but I featured an artist on there recently, his versions of the potter book covers anyway he's been noticed by WB and they might actually get made!

At a recent private special screening for some members of the public this film was slaughtered, Most of the people left bitterly disappointed and most commented that a lot of the scenes had no real effect in the film and some commented that there were scenes that aren't even in th book. Some people have also said that the Prince mentioned in the title barely makes an appearance.

If they stay faithful to the book (which they've mostly done up to this point for the other films) it should be fantastic.

I personally can't wait for the last movie (the "2nd" Deathly Hallows movie?) for the scene where Voldemort and Harry battle it out. It's going to be epic win.

Yeah I had heard that, after alot was cut out of Phoenix I really hoped they would try and pack everything major in.

Umm if memory serves me right... the Half Blood prince is just snape, the book was about harry getting a book helping him with his potions/spells, and the one who made them was the half blood prince, who turns out to be Snape

Is there a video game based on this one too?

Most likely!

The comment about the special preview viewing was not very pleasing to read. I really hope they have stuck close to the book but after watching Pheonix and being disappointed by it because they cut so much out, my hopes for this one has dropped quite a lot!

I've learned to separate the books from the movies. If i want an uber amount of details, i'll read the books, if i want to be entertained, i'll watch the movies. Simple as that. Just like LOTR's, it's impossible to fit each of these books into a 2:30 movie. Thankfully we have deleted scenes, extended cuts, etc, but people need to realize everything can't be packed in.

Thats all good yeah but when they cut out important parts or even change them then it's not entertaining, it's just annoying. It also mis-leads people who have not read the books.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
