Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Oh, how I love the perks of being a Warner Brothers Employee. My most recent perk included receiving a free Family Screening Pass to see Harry Potter 6 on Saturday, July 11th, 2009. Four days ahead of the worldwide release of the movie. And one even better, was that fact that my screening was held at the world renown Grauman's Chinese Theater situated in Hollywood. We were also given a free soda and a bag of popcorn.

I was fortunate enough to find true Harry Potter fans to go with me. We all wore red and gold to show our support for Gryffindor. They were just as excited as me to be seeing the movie early. Unfortunately for me, I had to use the restroom during the middle of the movie and for some reason the bathrooms in Grauman's feel very far away, so it seemed like forever before I made my way back to my seat. I missed the kiss between Harry & Ginny. I knew the moment I stepped behind the curtain that I had missed it.

I enjoyed the movie, especially if I separate it from the book. If it had not been based on a book, then it was a very good film, but because it was based on a book, there were some let downs. I was bummed that certain things were taken out of it. But I know they can't put everything in the movie. I just wish, I just wish they had left the battle at Hogwarts in the film. And the invisibility cloak in the end of the film.
