Harry Potter

[Jessica Lares]

Well, I doubt anyone is a Harry Potter fan here, but have you all heard of the new title? It's Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince.

The only question is, who is the prince? J.K. Rowling has said that it's not Harry or Voldemort. So that cancels them out.

I think it could either be Colin, Seamus, or Neville, even though he isn't a halfblood.

I know who it is, it's that girl Hermione, I always knew she was a guy,

i promise you that she is the prince

those damn cross-dressers

LOL! Niiice. I always thought it would be Colin Creevey. I mean, why does he keep popping back up into every other book so far? He gets more attention in book two and four than any of the others he's been in.

But what about Neville? He isn't halfblood is he? He's still going to be more important in the future books as JKR said.

There's so many possibilities. I'm a person with a really big theory mind, so I'm probably going to reread all the books to come ro an conclusion.

well i started reading the harry potter books when i was young, and this is the only series i have ever followed in books (not a big fan of reading ) so i decided since i am past halfway now i might as well finish the whole series off. As for re-reading them, i think i will just wait for the movies. And no Neville is not halfblood, and who is colin creevy, the guy with the camera?

Yes, Colin is the kid with the camera. I don't advise you just to watch the movies. They may be to a help for you, but they don't explain everything in great detail, and some things are changed, and/or did not happen, like that shrunken head in the Night Bus, it wasn't ever in the book at all. It was just added because the director wanted it to have a Spanish tradition to it.

J.K. Rowling will be publishing an encyclopedia after the 8th book, which will have all her edits, and info that we never found out during the series. This will help us figure out all the questions we've ever asked ourselves about the series.

ya i have read all the books, its just that i can't be bothered to re-read them, so instead of re-reading them, i just watch the movies

I haven't read a single book in the series, so I wouldn't know as much to discuss the story here with you guys. hehe... but I've seen all three movies. I personally like the third one best (mainly because I had forgotten the first and second ones by the time I saw harry potter early june. hehe...)

Haha. I still have my review of it. It's was okay, but it could have been better.

Here it is:

Plot bad, overall movie good!

The film itself was good at it's own judgment. I wouldn't recommend it to those who want to see an adaptation of the books, but to see a interpretation of what J.K. Rowling, the actors, and the producers view it as. Before seeing this, I would honestly say to anyone who hasn't read the book to at least pick it up and get the important facts out of it and understand them. This movie does not explain why some things came about and many would get lost if you haven't never read the book. Still, don't read every page of the book. Doing so will lead you to be confused in the theater saying, 'That never happened,' and you won't be able to enjoy the movie as much as you'd like to.

PLOT: 7/10

Framework in this looked like an inexperienced person was taken to do a job. Most of it came out right, but there were some frames of the inside castle that were, in my own opinion, not needed. If there was a bit less fading to black sequences in each scene, I think they could accomplished at least two minutes of more important detail then there was already stated. I liked the tree sharpen moments in the beginning of every outdoor scene which made it look sort of photographic, but again, we could have had more usable information in place of that.

FRAMEWORK: 5/10

The acting was more advanced this time through, and it didn't looked as forced as the last two. Although I may add that there were some out of character moments with Hermione, especially near the end with the hair comment. Hermione may had need to show more of her girl power in this film, but she still needed to be kept as her normal bookworm self. Still, the acting in this made it felt more like a movie while in the last two, it felt as though as it was a novel put into a documentary-movie.

ACTING: 9/10

Visual effects in the film were outstanding, it wasn't to mind at this time of the movie that these creatures, such as Buckbeak, were actually computerized. They've made it so realistic this time around, and it makes the movie more complete with this, and makes you want to be frightened of them, and feel sorry at the same time for Buckbeak's sentence to death.

VISUAL EFFECTS: 10/10

Overall, they've done a great job with the credits to make it look like the map, the acting has gotten better, and the effects were awesome, except for a mistaking in spelling 'Moony' on the map. I would recommend that you know your kids before taking them as there are a few scary moments with the creatures, violence, and mild language, especially with Ron. A lot of the scenes were out of order, but as I said earlier in the review, it's more of an adaptation of how the producers, and the actors themselves see it as, but think of it this way, this was Alfonso Cuarón's biggest offer he has ever gotten, at least he did his best to make it a hit. I've learned that many people will see it again anyway just so that it'll break into the top of the box office.

OVERALL MOVIE: 8/10

Originally, I had a part where I yelled at the audience in the review, but I didn't want it publicized, if you know what I mean!

[tntcheats]

Visual effects weren't photo-realistic. No 10/10 fur it.

The prince is going to be that guy from The Hobbit that wears furs and turns into a bear or something...

I don't read the books. But my guess is that it's something you'll be able to predict right off the bat, because they'll be right about the least likely.
