Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

Hmmmm....it should read as "Harry Potter And The Half-Snoring Fest". Just came back from watching the movie, and I, frankly say that I am really disappointed with the movie. It doesn't do the book justice at all, and it feels that the Hollywood producers are just milking this franchise.

What's wrong? First, they change the early parts of the book, until it becomes unrecognizable. Second, the chemistry between Ron, Harry and Hermione were underused here. Yes, you read that right...underused. Instead of being fun, it became a snore for me, and I should say this is the worse of all the movies - keep your fingers crossed for the last one. The Quidditch was also changed and Ron looked more like a misplaced hero, than the heroic one in the book. Even the first kiss between Ginny and and Harry is so lame. I mean come on! Just a light touch on the lips? In the book, Ginny grabbed him and kissed him passionately! It's supposed to be 'the moment' of the entire book. Even the "Won Won" feels empty, whereas I really laughed out loud when I read it in the book.

Sorry, but I am going to give this movie a D-. Those of you who haven't watched it yet, I suggest you save your money to go and buy the book instead. They should rename the movie as Horny Plotter And The Half-Mood Wince.
