Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I love midnight showings. I love seeing all the people dressed up and going with family, or friends, to something we all love. What I don't like are idiot teenagers. You know that some of them were there just to be there, and others just to ruin the movie. Like the idiot who yelled an obligatory at the end of the movie. M.O.R.O.N.

Parker and I decided to dress up. We wanted to have fun with it. Zak thought we were just being crazy. xD You can see from the picture that Parker came up this idea for a t-shirt and I executed it. Isn't it great? xD He had lots of fun with it. Oh! And you can finally see the new scarf I finished. It's my first knitting project and I think it turned out great. ^^


I loved it. I think it was the best one yet. Sure there were changes but that it too be expected. I mean, you can't fit everything from a +600 pg. book to a 2 1/2 hr. long movie. It's just not going to happen. I think that the director kept everything that needed to be kept and left out things that were necessary. (Skip next sentences if you don't want to be mildly spoiled.) The only scene that I hoped that would be in there was the funeral. I think there would have been more closure.

The movie was a lot funnier than I expected. Parker and I particularly thought that the Felix scenes were the funniest. Of course there were other things that were pretty funny. The interactions between Harry and Ginny or Ron and Hermione were funny at times. The way the relationships were built were a little different. Especially between Remus and Tonks. Only one scene with them both and Tonks calls him sweety or honey. I can't remember which.

I loved this movie. It makes me even more excited to see the next two. The same director decided to carry on with it, and that makes me super happy. I like how he interprets the books into the movies. Go see it. You'll have soo much fun. ^^

No funeral---what the deuce!!! GRRR...

I too love how Yates has interpreted the books; he's been my favorite director and it's fantastic that he's finishing it off.

By the way, the pendants and shirts are awesome--- I think your sister would enjoy a lighting bolt or snitch pendant--- not too big. ;)
