Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince

[Dumbledoresgirl]

I have just seen this film advertised on tv and the clips seemed to show excerpts from throughout the HBP. I thought they were going to make 2 films out of this book, but it seems they have shoved it all into one film. Does anyone know if this is true?

[epithet]

It's Deathly Hallows that is going to be split in two. HBP is all in one .

[differentID]

it's deathly hallows that's been split- too much content would have been lost otherwise, I think.

[Dumbledoresgirl]

Oh right ok. I don't know why but I thought they were making 2 films out of both of the last 2 books.

I had forgotten it was about to be released. I have something to look forward to now!

[epithet]

I'm thinking the ending might be hard for you, DumbledoresGirl .

[Dumbledoresgirl]

Well it would be if anyone other than Michael Gambon were playing the part. As it is, I might be cheering Snape on.

I really can't wait.... I reread HBP, this week just to make sure I'm up to speed
I'm sure I'll be sobbing at the end.

[epithet]

LOL! I think the whole cinema might be with you there.

[persephonesnape]

avada k....oops.

can't wait for this. seriously. we're on rothesay for our holiday and will be taking the smalls for a night out.

[Dior]

I can't wait. I am so excited.

[Wilts]

I am really excited as well, more so than the boys I think

Although we think this time ds2 is going to have to skip seeing this at the cinema.

Oh how I love Snape

[TheFool]

I really should change my name in honour...

[Jux]

I'm looking forward to this one. DD (9) and mum (84) are nearly wetting themselves over it already

[tribpot]

Really excited about this film, it looks great from the trailers, lots of excitement plus of course Harry and - well, should one say or is there anyone likely to be reading this thread who hasn't read the book?

[MumGoneCrazy]

I cant wait i've already got my tickets (thank you sis ) and a babysitter (thank you sis-in-law ) booked for the 15th

We're going to watch the 7pm viewing so not the 1st one but sil couldnt get here before half 5

[MumGoneCrazy]

5 DAYS WOO HOO

[sunfleurs]

The first showing is on Thursday morning next week. Ds will be at school and exh will have dd. I can't wait.

[ShowOfHands]

We're going next Thursday. Haven't been to the cinema in 2.5yrs. Have never left dd before either. Am excited and nervous in equal measure.

[MumGoneCrazy]

Ooohh its in our cinema on wednesday

[Loshad]

I enjoyed it - of course they loads out, they always do in films but my ds2,3 and 4 enjoyed it and none of them have read that book (or maybe ds3 has, not certain) so they could easily follow the plot.

[dietstartstomorrow]

Saw it last night and couldn't help but feel very letdown. This was my favourite book out of the 7 too

Seemed to focus more on the ginny/harry and ron/hermione storylines more than anything else.

[smartiejake]

Same here- very let down. As other posters have said they left out lots of relevant info from the book (particularly in the build up to finding out who the Half Blood prince actually was) and the whole film had a rather disjointed feel to it. Had I not read the book I think I would have been rather confused.
