Well, The Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was a total Dissappointment!!!

yeah the movie is little bit dull and also ain't according to book but yet I feel its a great movie because when I was watching it I simply forgot about the book. The character portrayal really captures my imagination.I think its better than other parts as it now not only deal with magic only but also with human emotions.

I'm not a Harry Potter fan and I'm sure I will never be. Obviously, I never read a single word from any Harry Potter book, and the only HP movie I saw was the first one. I just find this whole witchcraft thing and a 4-eyed boy a bit annoying. Anyway, thanks for contributing a review.

I actually thought that the portrayal of Dumbledore was actually very close to the book, as he was suffering during the book as well. The trouble with the later books in the Harry Potter series is that there is so much in them it is impossible to condense them into a two hour film, which is why the last film is being done in two parts.

I loved the books even though I think the books began to become too long towards the last ones and they were harder to get through but I did enjoy them but I haven't ever enjoyed any of the movies. The first movie released was an extremely disappointed to me since they changed all in the movie and then when I tried watching the second movie I kept falling asleep and have never gotten through the entire thing so therefore I just gave up on the series. Hearing how its a disappointment though - not only from you but most of my friends - I'm not surprised at all. Its just a shame that they thought they could live up to the books in my opinion. When you start chopping things up they should have realized it was going to happen and I don't think it helps how long it takes them to film the movies and how quickly the actors are growing up and now trying out new things so its not all Harry Potter for them.

I haven't seen the movie yet. I usually see the movie first then read the book so I don't get disappointed. I think it works out better that way.

i personally sort of liked it but that's only because i found the social aspects really cute like with hermione/ron, harry/ginny (ok not so much but still) and it was funny overall. however, i am really disappointed about how much it strayed from the book. especially the very end with the battle. it felt like they were trying to compress everything into a watchable lengthed movie. nevertheless, with books like harry potter, it just doesn't work. this book is one of the most vital book in the series and i just couldn't believe they cut so much out. also i was really annoyed with the half blood prince. this is because the movie didn't focus on that part at all and we just sort of found out in the end. nothing in depth. my die-hard harry potter fan was furious!

I really enjoyed the books but have found that the movies didn't really come up to my expectations. None of them. But I guess it's probably kind of complicated to make a movie out of some books. I know that the movies are always a bit different from the books we read, but some are more accomplished than others and the harry potter series seems to be one of the cases where it's not the best. I haven't seen the half blood prince yet. I will see it at some point, but I won't be expecting much, really.

If you have not watch the movie, I do suggest you watch it for yourself as you might get a different opinion for yourself. Different people have different expectations. Personally, I am disappointed but there are instances I do enjoy the movie. Overall, I have to say I love it because I paid for it and I had to justify my expense. LOL.

I may be watching this movie soon if I get the time to. I too have heard many things about this. Some of my friends say that it is a bit of a dissapointment compared to the book but the thing is, you can't really compare a movie to a book. Books always have more depth and everything makes more sence. I felt the other times when I watched the previous movies of Harry Potter that they too missed out on important scenes and even cut out important characters. I don't know how long it goes for but I would hate to sit there for 3 hours and watch a movie no matter how good it was. Just enjoy watching the movie really, and its harder to do that if you think about the flaws of it.

I quite agree with you but I have not 'cared' much for the movies and the storyline enough after the 3rd movie that I dont get disappointed anymore. I mean after the Prisoner of Azkaban I kinda didnt have anymore expectations for the movies. I just wanted to watch them and see how they were portrayed and if how the movie adaptation compared to my imagination while I was reading the book. Good thing I have read the book so I kinda know what to expect in terms of the story line because if you just watched the movies. Some parts of it would be confusing and there are those points that might not be clearly shown in the movies. The book is definitely more detailed. I think most books are. There are only few movie adaptations that surpass the excellence of their book counterparts. Im gonna have to agree with you on the LOTR comment. That movie adaptation was quite excellent. However, I have to admit that I have not read the book and have no interest in reading it. I tried though.LOL Its just one of those books that I dont get past one chapter. Im just not interested. In these kinds of books, Id really rather watch the movie adaptations. That might make me interested in the whole story. Anyway, going back to Harry Potter 6. I was actually impressed by the trailer. I think the Harry Potter movie series after the 3rd one have trailers that are actually better than their full length movies. So I guess Im watching the rest of the Harry Potter parts just for the sake of watching it and how they developed it rather than watching the movies because Im that interested in it.

On the ratings for this movie from the great site, IMDb, the people have given it a score of 7.9, which is higher then any of the previous Harry Potter movies. Over 30% of the viewers gave it 10/10. I'm sure that most of the people who saw it, were readers of the book, and loads of people enjoyed it.

Well I have never read the books but I have seen all the movies and I liked the Half Blood Prince. I did feel like something was missing thought and I felt like it ended in a weird way, but overall I liked it.

Noooooo!!!!! Don't tell me it is bad!!! I have not seen it yet but are hoping too this week! I know that most of the movies have had to leave things out and condense certain parts of the story. That always happens in movies from books! So I will go to the movie not expecting to see everything in the book. I have not read the sixth book as yet, I am currently reading the fifth. I watched all of the previous movies before I read the books. I think that is a better order to do it in with the Harry Potter series! That way you get a pleasant surprise when you read something extra in the book, rather than being disappointed that they left something out of the movie! I saw all of the Lord Of The Rings movies as they came out, having read the books including The Hobbit several times! I remember feeling a little disappointed that some things had been changed but I did also realise that there was a rather large amount of detail to cover in the movies. I did think that they should have made The Hobbit movie first though, as it comes before The Lord Of The Rings.

yes me too excepting a lot this time . but director will disappointing me .

the movie is ok with me.there are a lot of exciting parts.I was a bit disappointed with the kiss between ginny and harry.it was too brief.unlike cho and harry's kissing scene,it was longer than harry and ginny's.I was expecting it to be more sweeter,but it was like a quick peck on the cheek.so short.

I have to say it was disappointing. The reasons why I think it was dissappointing was that the movie wasn't based on a "old book" but a new way to make more money. I think the movie and story line was more rushed then putting thought into it. It is a shame that the last movie had to make harry potter less appearing after having so many good runs. It seems as if they sneaked this one in to just fool us to just make money and that is that. I shame on them! God bless

actually, i haven't seen the movie seen am not a fan of the series. however, i did gain some interest after seeing trailers of the film just days prior to the actual release date. my friends who are more HP fanatics went to watch the film a day or two after the first day of release. when i heard negative reviews about it, i lost interest. one of my friend would even go as far as saying as, "good for you, you saved some money." with that said, it must probably be quite bad, to say the least.

I saw "the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" in the IMAX cinema. But I was very disappointed for it. The second half of it is very boring. I feel this continuation is the worst one for "Harry Potter".

i did not see the movie myself. My wife and her sister went to the midnight showing last week, the day it came out. She came home and was pretty upset. She said overall the movie was good but a scene had been added where a town or village was lit on fire that was never in the book, and then some huge fight scene was left out of the end of the movie.

im planning to watch this movie. but my friend said its not worth watching... the trailer is much nicer than the whole movie... what a disappointment to all harry potter fans!
