Potter and the Midnight magic.

Magic was in the air as we prepared to go the the opening night of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I had been waiting to see this movie since last summer when they changed the release date. Don't even get me started on that. As you can see we represented our HP colors that night! There is nothing better then a midnight showing. Everyone in the audience is full of excitement and energy that you just can't find in any other showing. As the music starts the theater errupts in a cheer and quickly silences as to not miss a word of the movie. The laughs are louder, sighs and gasps are more emotional and as the film credits roll everyone claps and immediatley turns to the people around them to talk about the film.

This film has me torn. I absolutley loved the movie. This is by far the best yet potter movie. The charactors have grown as the films have been made and David Yates the director did a wonderful job capturing the essence of Hogwarts. Unfortunately It is not all good things I have to say about the movie. I was very suprized at how much was left out.( If you don't want me to give anything away don't read on.) I was most upset by the ending. Snape and the Death eaters walked right out of the castle... Just walked out. I really wanted to see the Order of the Pheonix battle it out with them. It was somewhat anticlimatic. Another thing that really bothered me was how many of Dumbledores memories were left out. Those memories are so vital to Harry finding all of the Horcruxes and destroying Voldermort. And in the end we see Harry with Dumbledores wand. Which needs to be burried with the headmaster. Hmm... So many important aspects of the film are missing and it just makes me ask the question what are they going to do with the 7th?
The movie was very entertaining. I loved every second of it well every second except the Burrow burning down. That was weird. I thought it was clever funny and exciting. Malfoy was great. Loved him and his death eater struggles. Slughorn was so fun. He was just like I pictured him. Snape was as captivating as ever and the foreshadowning was great. I am sure I will be seeing the movie agian soon! I understand the movie can't copy the book exactly but I think they could have at least kept the most important details. Right.
Overall it gets a 8 1/2 out of 10. Not bad Potter. Not bad at all.
