harry potter and the half-blood prince
Since Tyler is in Auckland this week (and we’re missing him greatly), Rissa and I decided that wed paint the town red and go see a movie. Meena and Gareth also came along. The movie chosen was Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
I haven’t read the books but the movies are getting slowly darker and darker. Characters are getting stomped in the face, flung around like rag dolls, stuff blowing and generally inflicting damage and death on one another. Awesome :)
The movie was a little on the long side but still enjoyable. It seemed to amble along at a nice pace developing and developing the newly found interest in the opposite sex by the younger characters. Again, I haven’t read the books but one interesting item for me was the revelation that Severus Snape is actually an agent of the Dark Lord . . . or appears to be that way. Apart from the fact that he actually said he was working for the Dark Lord there were further actions that leads me to believe this was true. For example when he killed Dumbledore. Be careful, that was a spoiler.
A decent enough movie. Its one of those things you just have to see after watching the first five in the series anyway.
