Hairy Potty and the 1/4 Bloody Princess

Waves of complaints from the book fans shall always accompany every HP movie that comes out. But let us take pity and respect on the screenwriters or whatever who try to cram as many of the hundreds of pages into a mere 150 mins as possible. For the 6th movie, however, I must say that I'm disappointed in their attempts to do so. For SOME REASON, Half-Blood Prince seemed to focus largely on HP, Ron, and Hermione's love life. Of course, there was the Horcrux ordeal and Draco going to the dark side and whatnot, but my impression was that they kinda screwed up the plot into an exaggeratingly shallow film. As for compliments, the actors and beautiful scenery and cinematography are superior, as always. The most vivid scene of the movie for me, was when Radcliffe imitated the pinchers of a spider (It was hilarious! He was on drugs!). It was probably the only seriously funny bit in the entire movie, except maybe when Dumbledore died in slo-mo. I had a sudden urge to burst out giggling right then, but held myself back because the surrounding fellow movie-goers prolly already hated me (I laughed. A lot). However disappointing books-adapted-into-movies may be, HP is a series that I won't drop, simply because I have so much faith in the books. It's also interesting to see how the movie-makers interpret the storyline, because when you read the actual book, you'll have to rely on your imagination to provide the imagery for you.
