They literally draw blood out of the book. The latest movie of the potter series is the biggest letdown of them all. The entire movie is based on the attitude “Everyone knows the story so all we have to do is put some special effects and aid their imagination”. For those who have read the book, the movie for sure is a nightmare and for those who haven’t, you are only supposed to enjoy the special effects .It is impossible to connect with the movie, the entire movie is in bits and pieces.
Rowling has written the book brilliantly and has portrayed her characters in such a way that we feel they exist in real. On the other hand the movie spills water on her work, its picturisation of the characters are so fake that we understand it is nothing more than a fantasy. When I read Dumbledore’s death I was overwhelmed, his last words touched me. But when you see it onscreen you tend to say “oh! The old fag is dead!”. I never expected the movie to surpass the book but I did expect it to show some justice to it.
The saving grace of the movie is Malfoy. He has done his part really well, the resentment, the grief, the fright, was all visible on his face. Also not to forget Severus Snape, this man is the find of the potter series.
There is no fire between Harry and Ginny and Ron and Hermione act childish. Lavender though makes you laugh. The over done love potion makes you sick , censoring very important characters like Bill makes you weep , the list is endless…
The only thing that the movie does is remind you that once in your life you have read a wonderful book called “Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince”, but this is the worst way to remember.
