And you will lose everything

Ah, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. No other movie franchise (cept Lord of the Rings I guess) can get me freaking out about making it on the day of its release.

I still don't know what to think about it. On the one hand, cinematography and how the film was directed was well done. I loved how David Yates worked the angles of the scenes and the score of the music seemed to fit right in (especially Malfoy's scenes). I shall be downloading this soundtrack soon obviously. Cast wise, I love Jim Broadbent in all his roles he's done and perhaps as Slughorn, he did a pretty good job too, but he's not what I pictured Slughorn to look like :( Oh well. What was interesting was Gemma Jones aka Madam Pomfrey was his wife in Bridget Jones so I thought that was cute LOL.



Particular parts I loved were Malfoy's scenes because it's rare you see the movies focusing on him. I really loved Felton's acting in this one and felt more sorry for Malfoy than I did when I read the book. Snape will always be Snape. Alan Rickman is one of the best cast chosen for the movie series. When he killed Dumbledore, tears were so threatening to burst out of my eyes but I held it together in fear of being mocked LOL.

The cave scene was meh. But there were parts of it which were top notch ala Dumbledore's massive flame. Oh! And I love, love, love the boy they chose to play Tom Riddle both at age 11 and 16. So I looked them up. Did you know that the 11 year old Riddle is Ralph Fiennes' nephew (Hero Tiffin Fiennes) and was chosen for that role because of his resemblance to his uncle? And he has a brother called Titan and a sister called Mercy? Dayum those are some pretty out there names ey? Frank Dillane who played Riddle at 16 is actually 20 years old. Phew.

But I really wish they had filmed the fight scene at Hogwarts. With the teachers and students vs the Death Eaters :( I was so looking forward to it. Also Bill and Fleur but we all knew they were never gonna make it into the movies. Also Lupin and Tonk's conflicted romance (aside from her "sweetheart" line). I thought she was emo-ing over Remus in this one >__>

+ I found Cormac rather hot. *twiddles thumbs*

*wipes sweat off forehead* Don't kill me fans? I love the HP brand just as much as you. I certainly hope you enjoyed the movie.
