"The Half Blood Prince" movie proves the book is far better than the movies.

I just watched the latest movie yesterday and found it unsatisfying and bleak. A lot of details were lost, most especially the important ones.
The fact that Harry follows Draco around Hogwarts is enough to give a detective mystery atmosphere which the movie failed to show.
Dumbledore's mistakes on his decisions with Harry was not also given emphasis. Mind you, this is quite important on book 7.
Even on how Snape tries to catch Harry's secret for passing the Potions class was not delved in.
Moreover, many of the scenes appear dull compared to the excitement brought by the book.
The flight of the Half Blood Prince is supposed to be a REAL FLIGHT, meaning there are lots of fights there, not just Harry's.
Dumbledore's funeral was not tackled in the film. And personally, it would have been great to see old characters just for the grand memorial scene.
As compared to the first five installments, this one didn't add to the mark.
I hope the last installment will be a whammer. Hopefully, because it's where the REAL WAR starts. Welcome back to the dark ages, dears.

You can drop your expectations for the next two movies then. Harry Potter movies can never compare to the books. The books made Harry Potter famous, the movie just brings some of the book to life, though in my opinion rather unsatisfactorily.
Just completely ignore the games, they are for ages 6 and below... perhaps even for those kids that haven't even started school.
I hope they start doing a remake of the movies in 5 or 6 years, because I have been disappointed with all the movies.
