It's nice to see a more mature cast and story.

I agree with the article, all of the adults are great. They get some really great British Actors to be in these films. The funniest part for me was Lavender fogging up the glass on the train. It has been some time since I read the book and was disappointed that they didn't even mention her name until half way through the film. What I liked about the end of the movie (that was different than the book) is when Snape motions to Harry to be quiet when he sees him hiding. That is revealing...

I have just started reading the books so I can't comment on that much but I must say that I didn't really care for this movie. I thought it was a really long movie that seemed to take place over a short amount of time and I do agree that the love seems hurt the movie big time. There seemed to be a lot of other things that could have been expanded upon or explored but instead they filled it with love seems that were a little inappropriate for a PG movie.

The movie was a classic potter film in general but wasnt what i was expected compared to the book. The half blood prince to me was the best harry potter read, the book wasn't too long and wasn't soo short.I still love to compare the book to the movies but for this one it just didn't well. Their were more character chemistry in the relationships with the teenagers that was missing in the movie and the horror of voldemort didn't feel present in this movie unlike the last. My recommendation is to still watch the movie for any big harry fan and new coming fans, but you need to go into the theater with low expectations.

Ive noticed a substantial difference between the first film and the 5th and although the themes are more dark it seems the less time is actually spent on making a kick ass script and more about the awesome visual effects they can throw in. I will wait for this one to go on DVD and then rent it from Netflix -- Im not sure its worth the 12 bucks to see in the theaters.
