Yea, that’s right; I'm procrastinating, story of my life. Anyway I know I haven't posted in almost a week, but my life has been pretty busy lately so now that I 'have the time' I figured I should post something. Another reason I didn't post this week was because I had no idea what to post about. Now I had a small idea that is going to change up the blog a little bit, today I am going to write about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Yep that's right, I'm a Harry Potter nerd, Big Time and I am currently sitting in my dorm room watching the Harry Potter Weekend Marathon on ABC family, part of the 25 days of Christmas and I have come to the conclusion that this is my least favorite movie out of the entire series.
It’s extremely disappointing compared to the others movies, not to say it isn't good. I honestly just think they left out so much, like obviously they made it make sense so congratulations for that.
One of the biggest things that really make me angry is Dumbledore. I can't get on the actor for this because I think Michael Gambon is a fantastic actor. But the writers I think just really fucked over his character, in a HUGE way (I think the writers did this to a few different characters, but we will get to that in a minute). But any way, I think they tried to make Dumbledore someone else. i can't really explain how but I honestly just never saw the character of Dumbledore in HP6. I think part of it is that they just made him to all knowing and yes to an extent Dumbledore knows a shit ton, but I feel with just how much he knew in the movie it made him seem a little cocky and arrogant and I just didn’t see Dumbledore like that in the books.
Another character I think the writer’s really fucked over was Ginny Weasley, granted I don’t think Bonnie Wright is too fantastic of an actress, but I think if the writers had done a better job writing for Ginny it would have upped Bonnie’s performance. In the books Ginny is supposed to be this fiery redhead who can take care of herself and isn’t afraid to say what she thinks. In the movie she is an annoying character who ties Harry’s shoelace (by the way, one of my top least favorite scenes in the film). I just find her to be so passive and obnoxious in the film that it completely drives me nuts. Bonnie Wright’s portrayal of her doesn’t make the character any more likeable either. I find that she is very bland and doesn’t really bring anything to the table as far as the character goes and she may have been alright for the shy character that was originally Ginny but she hasn’t really grown into what Ginny should be.
As far as what was left out of HP6, well other than the whole characterizations that were left out, I also find that I hate the scenes having to deal with the memories revolving around Voldemort. Honestly the memories they did have were decent at best, but I was all around unimpressed. Then the ones they didn’t add pissed me off even more. Obviously if J.K. Rowling added these memories into the book it also should be add into the movie. All the meetings with Dumbledore in general make me an angry bear.
Honestly I guess there are other nit-picky things that I find as a Harry Potter nerd that make me angry from the movies but to be honest, I really enjoy all the movies. I understand that sometimes you do have to leave things out, although I do get confused when they leave things out and then add something else, but whatever. So I guess those are the main things that really make me angry while watching the movie. So thanks for helping me procrastinate I hope you all have a fantasbulous day
