But even though J.K. Rowling's last book about Harry's wizarding world ups the body count significantly and contains more teen angst than could have been imaginable when we first met Harry in a cupboard under the Dursleys' stairs.A blood-spattered Daniel Radcliffe (who, how the years fly by, is sporting 5 o'clock shadow) staring down Ralph Fienne's nasal-challenged Lord Voldemort and his creepy thumbnail makes for one disturbing poster.PG-13, indeed.What do you think? Does the poster have you even more excited for the final film? Sound off in the comments!

Mudblood, Pureblood, or Half-blood. I put Mudblood. If you find it offensive first, get over it. YOUR NOT A WIZARD o.e second, I'm not going to change it. Thanks for taking the quiz xD. Follow/Fav The Bloody Ashikabi. So, here is the prologue of my new story, I hope you will like it. I had always wanted to try and make a story about a Harry Potter raised by Karasuba of the Sekirei Universe, so here is the resulting tale. I'm going to try and make this story as good as I can, so reviews and constructive.
Let me say this. Half Blood Prince as a movie alone was very good. It stands it's ground as a film better than any of the others of the series. But only as a film.
And only because there are so many parts to a film. This installment obviously stepped everything up a notch: the cinematography, the special effects, the darker score, the improved acting, etc.

But the key element which was boosted this franchise into world-class fame, is the story. And in this one, it's just not there. As a fan of the books and having had no SERIOUS gripes with any of the other films, I must say i HATED the screenplay for this one. Everything that made the book amazing was ripped from the film, and instead replaced by annoying large quantities of romantic subplot. Yes, there is romance in the sixth book but not shoved down your throat.
JK Rowling masterfully crafted a novel that was perfectly balanced. The romance was there although it didn't detract from the main plot and at times was intertwined with the larger goings-on at hogwarts. In the movie the romance takes up most of the screen time. Not to mention the ending of the film was brutally butchered.
So much time could have been detracted from the silly romances to focus on more important things which were completely ommitted or deliberately changed. The ending is extremely anti-climactic and once it's over it'll leave you in your seat thinking 'it's over?' My final gripe with this movie is that it really should have been PG-13. If you've read the novel then you know the subject matter is MUCH darker and the story would have been done greater justice with just a higher rating(and a better screenwriter, yes i'm looking at you Steve Kloves). Overall as a movie i'd give it an 8 out of 10. But as a HARRY POTTER movie it gets 4 out of 10. And that's pushing it.
Well heres to 2010 to see how they screw up the finale. Oh wait, they already did. I didn't know there were 8 years at hogwarts.
