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.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
