I saw Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince tonight. It was
fantastic! I have read or listened to the book multiple times and, with
two exceptions, the movie captured the book marvelously.
I will talk about some scenes from the movie, so if you want no spoilers you might want to stop reading here...

Still reading? good
First,
I cannot get over how grown those kids are! They are so adorable and
have become much better actors over time. Tom Felton was perfect as a
tormented Draco Malfoy.
I thought that, given the limited time, they
covered the majority of the major points from the book (except that
Bill was not in it so he wasn't mauled by Greyback)
And speaking
of the Weasleys.....my wtf moment came when the Burrow was attacked and
burned. Not only was it not in the book at all, I didn't see where it
served any purpose in the story. To show that Harry can be tracked
down? The Burrow is supposed to have almost as many protections while
Harry is there as Hogwarts. I'm not buying it. That was the most
troubling bit.
The second bothersome part was that Harry was not
stupefied under his invisibility cloak during the Astronomy Tower
scene. Harry would not just stand there. Maybe, just maybe, he thought Snape was really going to help but still, DD could have stupefied him after he went down a level.
Other
than those two bits, I was extremely happy with how this movie was
done. I thought the death scene was well done (and the "Severus,
Please" part-wow) I (along with about everyone else in the theater)
cried when everyone held their lit wands up.
This is the best movie of the series so far and I cannot wait to see how they do Deathly Hallows.
