Half-blood prince

The Harry Potter mania hardly seems to die even as J. K. Rowling is all set & cozy after wrapping up the seventh & final installment of the series: The Deathly Hallows. Movies have always been a disappointment granted you have read the original version in the books. But for HP fans even if they already know the ins & outs of all sequences in the movies, shelling out a couple of hundred bucks to watch an HP movie in a multiplex hardly seems a problem.
This was my state when HBP was released on 16th July. HBP is my favourite book in the series. JKR has very skilfully shaded the dark & sinister past of Voldemort (read Tom Riddle) with the tinge of romanticism & adolescence. Then again many secrets are disclosed & you get to learn Dumbledore’s true level of involvement in the Phoenix. I can’t help but marvel at this man…Dumbledore. He is simply brilliant. Each one of his words, thoughts actions, seem to be directed towards some end & yet u do not know where. He could do no mistake & he is the true hero of the series….talented, humble, old, wise & rational.
Coming back to the movie, I must appreciate the dialogues written for the Half bLood Prince. You see, if u try to copy all the words uttered in the books by the characters, u can’t have a two n a half hour movie. So u will be forced to cut “Yes, Harry you are the only one who can finish Voldemort…,” for example to an awkward “Yes.” Pretty dumb, huh???
This is where HBP movie scored. All of the dialogues were entirely according to the movie. And it was refreshing to actually anticipate what will happen in the movie rather than lie bored on ur seat reciting what’s coming next. No shoddy work here. The film has scored.
Now what??? Of course the final two movies. The last book was too fast-paced to incorporate it into a single movie. So it has been split into two. I personally think there must be more confrontations between Harry & Voldemort like in
GOF. So folks, we wait & pray that the next movie is absolutely smashing
