So. Being a huge Harry potter and JKR fan, I went to see the new Half Blood Prince movie all excited the very first day. Although many parts of the movie were really cool ( loved the part where Ron takes the love portion and the casting of Lavender is brilliant!), I was xxtremely dissapointed with the end. I mean, they portrayed Harry as a bumbling teenager without much courage, skunking the shadows while his mentor life's at risk!! But anyone who has read even some of the hp books would know that courage is one of his biggest strengths and he is always willing to put his life at risk, even to the point of being impetous and that unless he is forced by magic - like the body-binding spell that Dumbledore casts on harry after he makes him wear his invisibity cloak in the book, he would never just stand there looking stupid. I really don't understand how JKR allowed this to pass!! And lets not even get started on not showing Dumbledore's moving funeral or Hawkes soul-tearing cries. Sigh.They totally tore up Dumbledore's and Harry very basic characters that has been so beautifully portrayed by JRK and loved by millions. What a waste of a movie. This was a total letdown.

Not that I feel a lot better after this gripe but it would be really nice if there was some way to get some magic in this muggle world to set this right.
