Something that they changed in the movies was what actually happened in that bathroom scene. In the books Harry (obviously not knowing what the spell did and shocked) does everything to keep Draco alive and is actually concerned, and it’s honestly a sad scene because Draco’s in a lot of pain and Harry’s crying and frantically trying to fix him and get help. Movie Harry was just like “ok I’m just gonna leave you dying on the floor, have fun!”

That, and he actually does get in trouble for it in the book. He has to spend every Saturday for the rest of the year in detention (which even means he has to miss the final Quidditch match of the season, and - since he drops out at the end of the book - the last Quidditch match during his time at Hogwarts). In the movie, he just gets away with it.

It wasn't really added...the teenage romance was in the book too.

In fact I'd argue the book has even more teenage romance since Draco also has a girlfriend.

I mean, the entire magical world considers life rather worthless. Let's not forget they are basically a global conspiracy manipulating and often endangering the lifes of countless "muggles" without accountability or oversight or democratic justification. Umbridge could just restructure the entire school and torture kids without official repurcussion. They released mindless soul-sucking monsters and punished Harry when he stopped one from killing someone innocent. The fact there is only one Voldemort is a joke, given the hatred for Muggles even in modern Hogwarts, just in Slytherin alone. If this was real, millions of muggles would be unknowingly enslaved my mages.

[@gianellab.4953]

To be fair though, HP (even in the books) was never just about Voldermort, it was also about the growing characters and their interactions. By film 6, they'd barely given Ginny any screentime and Ron and Herminone's story was stale. There was a need for relationship development. I don't think the director made the wrong call, the problem was the delivery. There could have been a bit less teen angst to allow more space to the half-blood prince storyline.

[@gianellab.4953]

@@Wurzelknecht The Harry/Ginny disaster started in the second film though. It happened because movie Ginny was never more than an insignificant 2D background character. No matter what Yates would have done in film 6, the couple would have been a fail. She should have been fleshed out and the romance thought through earlier on. Instead, the couple became an afterthought (like in the books).

[@Wurzelknecht]

@@gianellab.4953 He had the chance to start it in film 5, where the development also starts in the books. Ginny is barely mentioned in Prisoner of Azkaban and only gets her first few glimpses of growing up in Goblet of Fire, but it's in Order of the Phoenix where she begins to be a part of the group and her character or more precicely how much she has developed since book 2 is fleshed out. But for some reason all of her lines are given to Hermione. Even her introducing Luna to the group which makes no fucking sense. Why would Hermione know Luna fucking Lovegood, who's a year below her and in Ravenclaw? And even if we pretend she's in Harry's year in the movies, then why would Hermione need to introduce her to Harry and Ron? They would've had lessons with her for four years, and she's not exactly someone who goes unnoticed by her classmates. It was just a glaring oversight by either Yates and/or his screenwriter to kill all of her screentime, when they had to know that she would become Harry's love interest going forward, as book six had been out for a while by that time. But even then, the way they wrote the scenes in film six were just cringeworthy. The room of requirement scene was just awkward and bad, while in the book it's a passionate kiss in the spur of the moment after winning the Quidditch cup. Btw. I actually liked that Halfblood Prince had so much stuff going on besides Voldemort, as it had this feeling of "calm before the storm" and was a good excuse to let us experience one last proper year at Hogwarts before all went to hell at the end. It was the last time the characters could relax at least for a little bit and be normal teenagers (as normal as Harry could ever be) before reality bit them in the ass again.

*A Few Things From The Book You Might Want To Know* - Dumbledore couldn't use the truth serum on Slugghorn because he was a potion master and could tell if it was in his drink - Harry held onto the liquid luck partly because he forgot about it and another part because he had a selfish wish to use it to get together with Ginny - Although Dumbledore did know about the horxruxes (or however they're spelled) it's revealed in Slugghorn's memory that Voldemort split his soul into seven pieces (not including Harry) so having the exact number was a help - And yes, there's way more about the Half Blood Prince in the book than the movie, including why Snape calls himself that

[@marinadeburgos8666]

I think the problem with the Harry Potter movies is that by the time they had to do HP4, they found out there was way too many pages to translate to a 2 hour movie, and had to cut some parts (like nearly every book to movie translation of a non-children book) and cut the wrong parts that didn't have to, like the Harry and ginny story, that started in HP5 (although that book was a brick). I think that's part of the reason I love HP3, it had the perfect length to do a 2 hour movie without cutting substantial parts of the story (besides, Cuaron was the best director they could have chosen to do that movie)

[@homestarronny]

Lol I hate to rain on your parade but HP3 didn't cut anything substantial?? That movie is filled with so much pointless garbage and then it couldn't even tell you who the marauders were hahahaha such an overrated movie, I have no idea why everybody loves it so much.

[@kirstym.]

In the bok I believe he was under his cloak. The movie IDK

[@YZee-ij1uv]

It's weak in the movie... But there's potentially something about them needing to get far enough away from Hogwarts to apparate, so they'd literally need to carry Harry along (not impossible, but increases the chances of the Order catching up with them). I can also buy that their instructions for this particular mission were to kill Dumbledore and get out. It's a huge win for Voldy, who would have had to find a way to overcome Dumbledore in the long run, even if he had killed Harry. Throw in Snape being a double agent and deflecting any suggestions along the kidnapping lines due to reasons listed above... I can buy it.

I never knew Harry Potter was supposed to take place in the 90s until after all the stuff with it was done. So when I realized that LOCATION SET PIECE bridge in this movie that was in all the trailers back in the day I was going, "waitaminute..." for the rest of my years. Thanks Producer guy for finally addressing this.

When I first watched this movie I missed that scene and it didn't matter at all.

Don't have time for 2000 words, but 1) Slughorn is the Potions Master and former Head of Slytherin. He will be needed once Snape ascends to Headmaster. Dumbledore can't afford to piss Slughorn off, because otherwise Voldemort would install another teacher in his place, should he leave. Slughorn has also demonstrated rudimentary Occlumency abilities (as seen in the altered memory), which means that forcibly taking the memory might not be possible. 2) Liquid Luck (Felix Felicis) can cause serious side effects, should the drinker imbibe too much. Additionally, it doesn't necessarily grant one the ability (or inclination) to brew more. It seems to work mainly by heightening intution and propelling the drinker towards desireable outcomes. Great video, though. Very funny as always.

4:52 Missed opportunity for "Shoving your soul into objects is TIGHT".

Pitch meetings does such a great job of pointing out the things that we didn’t notice, but seems obvious now after watching it!

I remember reading this book when it came out and being SO invested in who the half blood prince was, and the reveal was insane and it for sure is a bummer they did not build that up enough in the movie

[@intergalactic92]

I had it spoiled for me….. I was literally one chapter away and then someone in my class loudly explained it all in detail. Not just "it was Snape," but the whole his mother was called Prince and he was a half blood.
