Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince


Recommended Posts

Warner Bros has announced that Muggles will now be able to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince a few days early. The film which was set for Friday July 17th, will now hit theaters two days earlier on Wednesday, July 15th 2009. This means that there will now probably be Tuesday night midnight screenings in some theaters.

This film has already been heavily criticised by some general public that got to see an advanced screening a while back. Appenrently there's a lot of scenes that don't happen in the book and the prince mentioned in the title barely makes an appearance according to those people. Worst harry potter yet a lot of them called it.

I'm not that kind of a fan who wants the film to be exactly like the book, I love new additions and scenes, keep things exciting and fresh. :)

About "the prince" complaint, the book didn't have that much about him either except for the very end, which what the film apparently does exactly.

I loved ootp and many people hate it, that's why I won't take others' opinions for it, I like to be the judge myself.

Order was a great movie. People just have to get off their high horse expecting the movies to follow the books to the letter. It's not going to happen. Go with an open mind and they really are pretty great movies for what they are - 2 hour films.

I seriously doubt this one will disappoint, given what I've seen of it.

That's just as I see it. I don't mind any new stuff, as long as it's nicely done.

I generally prefer to judge by myself as well (not just with movies).

    • I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
