Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

Yesterday I watched the new Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter an the Half Blood Prince. Other than getting a Concession ticket, saving 30p, there were a few good moments. However they mainly revolved around the fact that I didn’t take the film very seriously. 

Actually on balance, I enjoyed this film more than any of the others. Now that was not expected.

One moment in particularly was funny: when Ron wakes up in the hospital wing, he starts saying "Hermione",  Hermione". However, me being incredibly dim thought he was saying "my knee", "my knee"!

However, I immensely disliked the fact that half of the film bared no relationship to the book; what was the point in that scene where Bellatrix set fire to the Wheasley’s field? Also how come the house looked completely different from when it appeared in the second film?

Overall though it wasn’t bad. And I spent my saved 30p on a Curly Whirly ;-)
