Here I will post the ten main reasons why Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince the movie sucked so badly...

  1. Omissions: This reason is most likely already evident in the fact that most fans are furious that the story in the movie versus the story in the book is completely different. They have left out lots of important parts from the development of the plot. For those who don't know what I am talking about, here are some examples to refresh your memory: 1. No introductions of the new Minister of Magic. 2. Neither Dobby nor Kreacher are present in the movie, which play a vital role in the development of the plot. 3. No funeral of Dumbledore, which is one of the most important things that was left out. 4. Many others, too many to list here...
  2. Too few characters: The stories of some left out characters was just squeezed into the few characters that were present in the film. For example, where was Bill and the Dudleys.
  3. Short movie: The film was nowhere near long enough to fit all the important bit and pieces together of the development in the books. So they changed and omitted many of the important parts.
  4. Crap acting: However, the acting have improved since the first movie, it is not near good enough to be enjoyable...
  5. Too fast paced: In order to fit the remaining parts of the story, they made everything progress too fast. It felt as if the entire movie was in fast-forward.
  6. No epic scenes: The battles was just that, boring, it was so messed up from the book. That the only remaining bits was shot so that most of the fighting is left out and most of the characters. 
  7. Doesn't make sense: It doesn't continue where the previously movie stopped and thus left lots of questions unanswered for those who haven't read the book.
  8. Voldemort almost not present: The parts of Voldemort are almost completely omitted from the story and the background information needed for why Malfoy is doing what he most do is completely replaced with a feeble attempt to answer it.
  9. Not the right characters: There are parts in the movie that you know it must have been character X doing what character Y is doing now. And this changes just makes the fans furious.
  10. Completely different story: They added things that didn't exist in the book, like the changes of what characters must do what etc.
As you can see the main problem that I cannot get enough of rambling about is the changes to the story and plot of the movie versus the book.

Tell me what you thought about the movie by leaving a comment.

Yes, you have read that right. It is now official that the new Harry Potter movie will be available at movies in 3D.

Both films will be screened in 3D, however the films will also screen as 2D in incompatible cinemas.

Why, well to make the film more awesome and maybe to get more money from the viewer, as the demand for 3D films have greatly increased after the pinnacle was set by Avatar.

Finally I have fixed the blog up from all the nasties. What do you think of the new theme? Have your say with a comment.

The site will hopefully now be more responsive and nicer to use.

Okay, so I have temporarily updated the theme to a new one, however in the next couple of days, I will try to find an even better one for the site.

Also, I have removed a lot of junk and nasties, even though it is not even close from done, will have to use advanced defense against the dark arts magic...

In the next couple of days I will try to resume posting blog entries. Remove all the podcast feeds at the bottom and other useless bandwidth wasting things.
Those with acute senses will already have noticed the changes in the things on the sidebar.

Please give suggestions for the site by leaving a comment.

The night that it was released I stormed to my nearest bookstore and bought the book as quickly as possible in my haste. I went back home, so that I wasn’t bothered by anyone who scream with ecstasy for getting the book. Back home I started reading the book and boy o’ boy was it a page-turner. I couldn’t stop reading the book, after hours my back started to ache and I relaxed for a while. My recession was over and I continued my journey. After a few days, unfortunately chores kept me busy for some time, I finished with one of the greatest books of our century. The only thing that bothered me was the short ending. “Ahhhh”, I exhaled, was it really over, searching the web I couldn’t find trace that it is going to continue. The JK Rowling website gave no updates on her following book. Terrified, hyperventilating, I tried to relax and found some fan fiction to settle my mind. After many days and episodes, I recollect these memories now on this blog. Still wondering after the release of the Beetle and the Bard if there are more Harry Potter-based books going to be released. Two movies for such an awesome book was also wonderful news. Still, I remember the day that this fine book was released and how many people bought it, how many people went out and celebrated the release of such a fine book.

Nevertheless, I have find some other fine books to keep me busy, apart from rereading Harry Potter, renowned of the list must be, Lord of the Rings. Which have kept me busy for some time.

But there will always be a hunger creature inside of me thirsting for more Harry Potter, for the idea will never escape me.


PS.: Sorry for the extremely late time of this post. But the memory moves ever onwards.

So after an infinite amount of days I return with a post that is so tedious that most of you won’t even bother to read it anyway. Well, after you have read that mind-numbing first sentence I wonder how many of you actually got to this point, because I am going to try my best to make the rest attention-grippingly awesome.

Well most of you here who actually want to read non-rubbish know about Harry Potter and what a good read it is. Therefore, after many lengthy years the movie of the sixth book is finally upon us. Many of you might have watched one the teasing, spectacular four trailers. Nevertheless, you on the other hand may have watched the interviews, photos, trailers, posters, news, etc. of the upcoming extravagant movie, which is going to show non-Harry Potter fans what they are missing.

However, after so many movies, with striped down content, it is still fascinating how many fans still go watch it. I mean, the books are awesome, but the stories in the movies are cruelly altered and doesn’t it strike you as odd that so many people like Hollywood-altered movies, nowadays no movie which comes from a book, how small, stays the same. Even the movies that are a true story, is based on a true story. Nevertheless, I love the movies but I love the books more. My family likes the movies and then I just go forward and correct them that the movies are nothing compared to the books and they should actually read the books.

Ah, with all those personal point of views I do not know why I actually bubble like that about nonsense.
Anyway, back to the new movie. I have watched some of the trailers and it looks absolutely stunning. I reread the book during the holidays and was filled with gaiety. Many of the events I have forgotten and after rereading it I felt that the new movie is going to be like the fifth. The fifth book is the longest but the movie was one of the shortest. I really hope that they are not going to make such a mess with the sixth, such as they did with the fifth. Oh, I hope they include all the magic creatures, not like in the fifth where they did not even show Dobby like in the book.

From the trailers it looks as if it is going to be one hell of a movie, just like the book. There are so many things that will happen in this upcoming movie and I really hope they don’t mess it up.

Well? At last, I am posting another blog post again. It was so long since I last posted on my blog. What happened in the mean of time. Well Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie swooped past us all. I for one didn’t find the movie at ALL as good as the book. Too many things were left out. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, what can I say more, what a magnificent book. The last book, was unbelievable in the sense that it’s the last one and that made (almost) all the fans questions fall in place.

People went to shops and bought all the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ stock they could find. Fans all over the world counted down in anticipation for the last and final Harry Potter book. I got my book unfortunately the day after. I rushed to the counter of the store to find that I wasn’t the first. When I had the book in my hands, I couldn’t wait to start reading it. When I got home, I started reading, reading all day, almost through the night (I would have if my eyes didn’t start to give up on me). The next day I read. When I finally finished the book, I got a shock of how crap it ends. To my disgust I read the ending repeatedly, just to make sense of it all. There was too much names and it was totally too short. Afterword I heard the ending that J.K Rowling omitted from the ending. Why did She make all that information go astray.

Since then I have gotten urges to read Harry Potter. But the only solution was to read the current books again. “Rowling write another book”, I think every day of my life. Every once and again I log on internet and check the newest Harry Potter news. The news is just the whole time, about Rowling doing this interview and that documentary etc. In addition, occasionally she releases some shocking news, for example, Dumbledore is Gay and has an affair with Grindelwald. I don’t care if he is gay or not. But an affair with Grendelwald. For Merlin’s sake what on earth was he thinking. Anyway, that is life and we can’t change such things. I guess love can make you do weird things.
Please comment on this blog post. I am so totally sorry that I took so long to make another blog post.
