So, today I went to go see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (which is the 6th book/movie btw), with my mom, a couple of friends, and their mom. Honestly, I was rather disappointed. I mean, it was really good, and some of the scenes were spectacular, but it left a LOT of stuff out! A LOT of REALLY IMPORTANT stuff.... They also added some scenes that weren't in the book, and some of them were really good, but I think they should have spent more time explaining pieces of the book for movie(s) number seven (they're making 7 into 2, in case you weren't already aware), otherwise the next movie is gonna have NO coherant plot, and NO basis on the books. It's a good thing that they're making it into two movies, because they've got a LOT of explaining to do.
Now, on the other hand, my friend's mom said that there wasn't enough action in the movie. Umm, okay, right, Harry Potter isn't just about action. Harry Potter doesn't have enough action for you? Go into the theater next door and watch Transformers, okay? You want fantasy, and magic, and kicking the route of all evil's butt? Watch Harry Potter.
Granted, I'm still FURIOUS that they only rated this PG, meaning that they left a lot (of action, suspense, cursing, and making out) out of the movie. I mean the 5th one was PG-13, and if the movie had stayed on the story line of the book, it would have been too. Sorry, I'm a Potterhead big time, and I don't like people messing with my Harry Potter.
I am DEFINITELY not telling you not to watch this movie, you totally should. It is awesome. However, I think that they could have done a better job with it if they had made it a little longer, focused on some of the more key points, and rated it PG-13.
