We saw it last night, really enjoyed it, DH said you can tell it is more of a sagway into the last 2 than the others!
And I found it more humorus as well!
Gawd, Im gonna be all by myself here but I thought it stunk. Me and my son were both bored to tears. My mom liked it and said I needed to read the book. Well, I am one who believes that if they make a movie out of a book, the movie better be good, too. Basically, they took two and a half hours for 15 minutes of plot. I could have captured what they divulged in a matter of minutes. Lawd I was so ready for it to END. 🙄
Okay, I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t this one was all that great. Spoilers so if you haven’t seen it or haven’t read the books, stop reading now:

I am totally disappointed that they cut out the older Weasley brothers pretty much completely. Where is their starting point going to be for the next movie if it isn’t Bill & Fleur’s wedding? And where is Ron supposed to run to when he ditches Harry and Hermione in the forest? And they cut out the whole story line of Percy?? He gets the best part at the last with reuniting with his parents. How is Harry supposed to know where and what the Raven claw Horcrux is (the tiara) if he’s never seen it, since he was supposed to have seen it in the room of requirement in this book. Why cut Dumbledore’s funeral? I though that scene would have been much more important that the one they made up about the Deatheaters burned down the Weasley’s house, which by the way never happened in the book so what the heck was that all about?This is all I can think of right now but they’re diverging further and further away from the true storyline and not in a good way. 🙄
movie can never truly be the books. even lord of the rings cut sections out of their movie that infuriated fans. people need to realize a movie if exactly like the book would be 7 hours long. i mean lol LOTR was 4 hours long and they still didn’t get everything in the movie. I thought the movie was good for what it was….the goblet of fire was the worst of the movies if you ask me…they cut 75% of the book out…It was horrid to me
Oh, I know that they can’t have everything that was in the book but there was a lot of extraneous stuff that didn’t need to be there while they glossed over things that I thought were more important. Spoilery stuff again:

Like Tom’s ring, the memory where he went “home” and got it. How he evolved into Voldemort a little more in each memory. Harry and Ginny’s relationship, would have liked to see more of that. Since they didn’t have Ron playing quidditch in any of the other movies, why bother now?? They didn’t even bother to explain why Snape called himself the Half Blood Prince, which could have been done at the end when they’re up in the tower, would have taken 10 seconds.I’d have liked to hear about stuff like that. Since I have not read the book, after seeing the movie, I certainly wouldnt want to. Such was not the case with Twilight or LOTR. The movies were both good enough to make me want to read the books. In this case, it seems like *Potential Spoiler*

The whole book is going to explain that by comming murder, a soul can be split and therefore, the bad guy is not really dead. How long does it take to explain that?? There were a couple cute/funny scenes, but to me, they certainly didnt add on to the plot. If it did, I cant see where it is leading. 😕No the whole book didnt describe that, one chapter did, which is kind of the sad part, and what Jasmine was saying I think. There are so many elements to the story that were not added.

Like many of the memories, Malfoys true unraveling, WTH did they not have Dumbledore jinx Harry under his cloak? This way made it look like he was a pussy, IMO. The ring part really bothered me, and no explanation about his hand…or does that happen in book 7?? The tiara bit made me mad too, and the fact that he knew that Malfoy was up to something and he was trying to follow him. He was trying to get into the room…all left out. Oh and how Ginny and Dean broke up!I still liked the movie, I swear, there were more things left out of the others that bothered me more, and at least Kory was able to follow this one. Numbers 3 and 4 he was totally lost because of the things that were left out, like why Lupin knew what the marauders map was, because he helped create it, and how Harrys name was even able to be put in the cup, under a different schools name.
What Ruffian said!! 😀 The memories were to help show Voldemorts evolution, one could say that family history as well as the environment that he was first raised in played a big part in his path.

*The ring should also be damaged…since it was a horcrux as well.
The ring and Dumbldore’s hand part does happen in the book. He tried to put it on but of course Voldemort cursed it, it would have killed him, but they managed to contain the damage to just his hand. But you don’t actually find that out until the last book. Sorry if that was a spoiler…
Ahh yes, see I just re-read them all over may-june so it is kinda jumbled!
I did remember that they explained his hand more in depth in book 7 though.
I guess all we can do now is wait for number 7 😮 .
wow i guess i should re-read the books as I can’t remeber alot of this stuff…I totally agree that snape should have explained the half blood prince thing. and the damaged ring horcrux
