Hary Potter and The Half Blood Prince


Soooooo....
You know how I said that I would post something about Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince... well here it is, a little late, but better late than never.

So, I would like to start off by saying that I had huge expectations for this movie and I am an UBER crazy fan ( I wore my Griffindor shirt to the midnight showing and had the book in my hand) That being said I thouroughly enjoyed it. However, there were some major inconsistancies that were crucial to the sixth book and a lot of information that was left out that is crucial to the seventh book. So just a quick list of the things they either added or left out-

1. Quidditch tryouts- that was in the fifth book
2. the burrow blows up- never happened
3. Bill and Fluer get engaged- characters weren't present in the movie
4. Dumbledor's Funeral- wasn't present in the movie
5. Harry is a womanizer in the beginning of the movie- what the hell???
6. Dumbledor apparating out of Hogwarts and in front of muggles in the beginning- ....would never happen
7. Firenze didn't turn Bill into a werewolf- bill wasn't even in the movie grrr
8. The vanishing cabnet- wasn't supposed to be seen until the last part of the film whereas it was present throughout the movie
9. Harry being Quidditch captain- wasn't explained that he was it although it was implied
10. Lupin and Tonks- It was implied that they were together but Lupin was supposed to not want them together because he is a werewolf
11. The Slug Parties- Harry was supposed to only go to one of them
12. The Felix Felicis- Harry wasn't supposed to drink it all in one shot he drank a little and gave the rest to everyone when he and Dumbledore went to get the horicrux
13. The Dursley's were cut out- also cutting out the fact that Harry must stay there until he is seventeen
14. They cut out Voldemorts childhood- his mother and the other possibilities for the other Horicruxes
15. Epic battle at the end of the movie- WHERE THE HECK WAS THE DA!!!! They were supposed to fight!

There are a ton more but they are too numerous to count so go see the movie but if too many changes will bother you... BEWARE!
