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.

Well said! :)

The final trailer will be released in a half an hour or so, I'm so excited that I can't sleep. :p

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).

    • 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.

    • Dang that sucks. I just started using this feature instead of Pushbullet.
    • 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).
