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.

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.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet by Ivan Jenic The Amazon Echo Show 11 is currently $149.99 on Amazon during Prime Day, down from $219.99. That's 32% off and $70 saved on Amazon's newest mid-size smart display (purchase link below). As its name suggests, the Echo Show 11 features a 11” Full-HD touchscreen, which is a decent upgrade over the Echo Show 8. It offers 60% more viewing area, which makes a genuine difference for recipes, calendars, video calls, or any other scenario where the smaller display can feel a bit cramped. The Show 11 is built around Alexa+, Amazon's more capable AI assistant that can handle natural conversation. You can make reservations, order groceries, and find content based on your preferences, instead of always having to give it precise commands. There’s also the Omnisense technology, which adds ambient awareness, allowing the device to trigger routines based on temperature, presence detection, or visual cues. Smart home control is built in without needing a separate hub, and the home screen doubles as a photo slideshow when not in use. Taking all of this into account, the Show 11 is a perfect smart addition to your kitchen counter or living room. At $149.99, this is a strong Prime Day buy for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to build one out. Amazon Echo Show 11 - $149.99 | 32% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified. We only use first-party seller links (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you purchase from a first-party seller link only. Check out Today's Deals on Amazon | or our recent tech deals.

      I use my devices until the very end. I used my old desktop computer for 16 years, my OnePlus 5T phone for 8 years and my LG Gram laptop for 7 years. Even though they are still working, there are no more security updates for most of them (Windows 7 ESU, Android 12 ROM and the LG Gram because I wanted an ARM based laptop).
