Well, I would've liked it if they included more of the Dumbledore-Malfoy dialogue in the tower, they didn't really include the offer to protect Malfoy's family, and Harry should've been petrified by dumbledore, for those were two really significant aspects of the scene. and the slow-mo of Dumbledore going over the edge almost felt corny.

everyone i talk to loves the last two movies....... but i get annoyed at the long pauses and dragging out every scene..... they overdo a lot of facial expressions and undermine the script

I too was waiting for the long talk with Malfoy, even just the words "I can protect you" would have sufficed.

 

I thought the death of Dumbledore was done so well. Snape's spell happened so suddenly that showing him falling over the edge really let the reality of what just happened sink in.

 

But I agree that Harry should have been petrified. With his wild ways it wasn't fitting for him to not interfere, he would have if he was that close. The only reason he didn't in the book was because he was stunned; don't know why they left that out.

Okay here's one...

 

Did anybody mispronounce or pronounce differently 'hermione' or any other names/words in the book up until you saw the movies?

I pronounced the spell "Accio" as "ax-io" rather than in the movies it is "ak-io"

 

That was basically it, everything else I pronounced the way the movies do.

OH! Dumbledore pronounced 'bezoar' as 'be-ZOAR' with emphasis on the second part of the word, whilst I've always pronounced it 'BEE-zoar'. D:

LAME. Pally? What a gay sounding word.

 

 

Doesn't have to rhyme with Sally, Weasley ends in "y" it's close enough.

 

Mine's way better. :dozey:

AS anyone who has seen the box-office phenomenon “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” surely noticed, the movie’s main characters have grown up. And so has its audience: many of those who are streaming to theaters are in their 20s.

 

The sixth film in the series was released almost a dozen years after the book that started it all: “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”

The generation that ignited Pottermania as preadolescent readers is approaching college graduation or entering the workplace, and they have kept alive this flame of their early adolescence.

Indie rock bands have sprung up inspired by their obsession, with names like Harry and the Potters, the Half Bloods, and Voldie and the Wiz Kidz, playing songs inspired by Potter lore.

Last fall, teams from Princeton, Vassar, Boston University and a dozen other schools competed in the Quidditch World Cup, in which students play a real-life version of the soccer-like contact sport featured in the books and films. (They can’t fly, but still compete with brooms between their legs.)

The continuing pull of all things Potter is a testament to the franchise’s enduring sway. But it also seems like something else: the advent of Generation Y nostalgia.

“I associate ‘Harry Potter’ with my childhood,” said Becca Cadoff, 21, a senior at Northwestern. “I couldn’t wait for the books to come out. We went to midnight parties at our bookstore in New Jersey.”

Now, she said, her roommates have all the Potter films on DVD. “It’s a release from all the school work,” she said.

 

ACCORDING to a survey of 4,000 people who bought tickets to the new “Potter” movie through Fandango, the online ticket service, 45 percent were 18 to 30 years old, compared with 15 percent under 17.

Let the boomers have their 40th anniversary of Woodstock. Let Generation X commemorate the 15 years since Kurt Cobain shot himself. For Generation Y — those born roughly between 1980 and 2003 — it’s the pop culture of the late ’90s and early 2000s that makes them wistful.

Random note: I always wished my university had a quidditch team.

I went and saw it and it suffered from the same thing OotP did - things that would help the plot being cut out. No explanation of the necklace, 'oh, Draco did it'.

 

Tom Felton did well, so did the main trio. But, er, Hermione and Ron had more chemistry than Harry and Ginny, srsly. That little snippet of them was tiny. WTF?

 

Still, was good. Especially the start. Loved the start. :heart:
