Hey everyone, been a little while, and I've been busy having fun and class. So the other day I took a break from it all and went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince, which was only the third Harry Potter movie that I've seen. The acting was great, the story phenomenal, the cinematography and effects were the best I've seen in any of the series, and while the script was a little iffy, it was still wonderful. I recently reread the books, and the movie definitely held true to the story. I was absolutely blown away by the cinematography, beautiful sweeping shots of the countryside, an amazing effect watching a cave go from darkness and lit to reveal a vast cavern, and some wonderful steadicam shots and great visual contrast. I find it hard to review the film without giving anything away, so as much as I'd love to talk about all the special effects for the spells, I just can't bring myself to spoil it! So instead, I'll move on to the acting, which was wonderful in this installment. A great deal of humour came from the continued awkwardness of Ginny and Harry, as well as Ron and Hermione. Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe, Bonnie Wright, and Emma Watson are all fantastic in their roles, and all come off very naturally in their roles. One especially wonderful bit happens when Ron (Rupert Grint) eats laced chocolate intended for Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and falls under the effects of the love potion and becomes infatuated with a girl he has never met, as well as the moon. I really loved teh movie so much that I'm going to see it again, probably this weekend and I hope on a bigger screen, so if anyone wants to join in please feel free to do so. I highly recommend this film to everyone, the characters are much more fully developed than they have been in the past, and the visual effects were simply amazing! My one regret about the film was that it wasn't longer. I wish that it there had been another hour, or maybe a split in this film to make it two parts. I really did love it that much. So again I highly recommend that you go see it!
Until next time, I'm done with summer school this afternoon so I'l be trying to update a bit more often than I have been, I'll also be online more often now that I should have some more free time.
p.s. This post was originally supposed to have gone up on the 15th so you can see just how backed up I am in my work :-/
