Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Page 21

Maybe I've said this before, but the cinematography throughout the cave scene was breathtaking.

That's The Deathly Hallows. They're splitting it into two so they make more money and so they have to cut less.

Didn't enjoy this film. I didn't really feel like there was a proper 'ending'. Admittedly I thought the cave scene was very good (And the fire spell that Dumbledore done was awesome ) but otherwise I was disappointed with it.

Ah, I thought both were two movies. All well, Deathly Hallows should be great.

For me it wasn't so much the climax, ie final fight or lack there-of, that was the issue. It was the lame ass final scene on the tower top with Hermione harping on about friendship and Harry crying at how beautiful Hogwarts is. That scene was just unbelievably flat and left you with zero emotion like a final scene should.

100% agree with you. You get the impression that he felt the scene where they all hold up their wands was enough to do Dumbledore's death justice. No way was that enough for one of the biggest single events in the whole series.

Other than the laughable literal final scene with the trio (I say that as if Ron was in it for more than five seconds), and with no previous knowledge of the book other than the infamous spoiler that was leaked before the book was released, I can pretty happily say that the film by far exceeded my expectations. I thought it was awesome. Sure, it completely lacked a proper climax and I keep hearing there should have been some epic showdown...which would have been epic, but I'm guessing this film pretty much acts a stepping stone for some incredible finale and I'm optimistic. Snape (probably because he's played by Alan Rickman) has always been my favourite character so I can't wait to see where it goes from here, because I'm pretty certain that he's not a bad guy, he was just stuck to the bond.

I also hope to see more of Luna in the next film. And what happened to that Asian girl Harry crushes on in the last film, or have I just forgotten one?

One thing, that super transport Dumbledore used, why didn't he teleport past the lake rather than some pointless boat ride and whatever? And my final question: Why in these films does Harry never keep Dumbledore in the loop! All it would take is "Hey Dumbledore, I saw ***** in this dodgy shop blah blah and check out his new attire" and the whole film would be prevented. No sense.

And the serum means she's just removed from the plot, lol.
