I love this one. There are some parts in the book that didn't make it into the movie, but that's the case with most book to movie conversions. In any case, the main reason I like this movie is the comedy that comes with it. "Well then, come along, Sir." I also found the overly dramatic Quidditch saves by McCormack, and later by Ron, to be hilarious. On the other hand, the relationship between Harry and Ginny was done poorly. In fact, the movie sort of only mentioned the whole part with her dating Dean Thomas, who - by the way - Harry should have bumped into after drinking the potion. Eh.
They changed that one scene around and from my point of view it puts someone in a better light compared to the book, but it doesn't change how someone else views that someone. Lol. Note: You should read the seventh book to know who's side that someone is on.
Speaking of which, or should I say, speaking of witch... haha... no... The movie is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. But since the movie doesn't really focus as much on who the Half-Blood Prince, it sort of fails in that respect.
I watched all, at least I think so, the special features on the Blu-Ray disc. The one about J.K. Rowling was so long. Interesting, but long, especially taking into account that I was up really late, interested, but sleepy, while watching it.

I fell asleep for part of the movie, possibly because I was tired from surfing.

2: Smile: he checks his breathe
1: Aww... poor Harry doesn't get to go on a date with the girl at the beginning
1: Mmm yeah... I don't quite like Dumbledore's choice of tone at this opening scene.
1: What's wrong with Harry's eye? LOL, apparently Phuong has noticed before and thinks it's the angle of his glasses.
2: "You got a bit of toothpaste" - Ron
1: Wink and ding from the one guy at Hermione in Zonko's shop.
2: Oh, he did in fact have Wrackspurts hovering around his head!
2: Ha, a cute
1: Change from Tonks to Luna, LOL Ratspurts.
1: LOL the bug hits the force field
1: It's so nonchalant "Okay yeah, give it a go"
1: In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Hermione does not say what the third thing she smells is, although Rowling revealed in an interview that the third smell was Ron's hair. However, in the film version, Hermione states that the third thing she smells is spearmint toothpaste, due to the fact that in an earlier scene at The Burrow where Ron points out to Hermione there is toothpaste on her face.
1: When Dumbledore calls Harry, he has the same strange tone...
2: "Confundus." - Hermione
1,2: "The binding is fragile." -
1: I never remember Horace Slughorn dropping the beer [2: What?]
1,2: Hehe. "Good to see you Wallenby" - Slughorn to Ron
1: LOL. Awkward, froth on Hermione. Hahaha
1,2: "Believe me Professor. I've been asking myself that question for six years." - Ron to Professor McGonagall
1,2: With a big grin, "He needed ten stitches."
1,2: LOL Harry stands for Ginny.
2: "I know. I suppose I could've just used a Confundus Charm."
2: "How does it feel Harry? When you see Dean with Ginny?" - Ginny to Ron
1: Gross, the finger
1: Oh wow, I don't remember that, pans from Hermione and Harry to Ron and Lavender to Malfoy.
1: "But I am the chosen one." -> Slap on the head. [2: Hahahaha]
1: "Dragon balls." Cormic vomits. [2: Haha]
1: "Open up you." That was already awkward. Then Ron. [2: Hahahaha]
1: "Shoelace"
2: "Oh, to be young and to feel love's keen sting." - Dumbledore
2: It's the place to be. Haha.
2: So funny:
1: I woke to see Harry and Dumbledore in the cave. Dumbledore begins to describe the situation. I missed my favorite: the pincers.
1: LOL. Both Josh and I independently wondered, why not cast the spell directly into the shell?
2: One of the spells Harry casts is sectumsempra.
1: Okay yeah we see them go in one cabinet and out the pair.
1: Oh right, the intention to have Draco use Expelliarmus was on purpose...
2: In the book Harry was immobilized by Dumbledore.
1: I felt like the feelings were slightly changed in the book to movie for the final scene...
1: Oh right and we discussed this, the characters in the book don't really wonder about the Half-Blood Prince. Oh wait, I was asleep, maybe they did and I forgot...
