HARRY POTTER SPOILERS AHEAD!

Mr. Zottoli: "If you study, then you'll take the test like you studied. If you wing it, you'll take the test like you wung it."

Went to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince yesterday avec ma famille (we were going to go with Crystal, but she's in Maine). I thought it was pretty good (I've come not to expect too much from the movies), but I agree with what other people have said: if you haven't read the book, it wasn't going to make all that much sense. My mom said she thought it felt like it had no real plot, and that nothing really happened apart from Dumbledore dying.

Also, my favorite characters were Draco and Bellatrix (especially Bellatrix asdfsdjk). And Draco kind of reminded me of Azula from Avatar. What is wrong with my life.

Oh, and ETA: LAVENDER BROWN SCARED ME. Mostly because I have actually known girls IRL that acted like that around their boyfriends. Ughhhhhh.

I KNOW. She reminded me of a few girls I knew too s-sob

Ah, the insta-drunk potion :D THAT was the (srsly) best part of the movie. And the ending was saaaaaad! D: I just get so mad how the writers totally ignore the fact that Ron is, y'know, a person.

Generally, the movie writers aren't all that good at characterization IMHO. I never really feel like any of the main characters are "people"; it's all in the supporting cast for me (McGonagal/Luna/random Death Eaters FTW).

Oh yeah I definitely agree with you there. The supporting characters have always been amazing.

And they live up to their book counterparts, too; that's always more important to me than plot, actually yeah, I'm weird. Especially McGonagall: she's pretty much my favorite character EVER in the books, and I am never disappointed with her film performance. 8D

Agreed! It's always comforting to know some parts of the movies live up to the novel counterpart |D
