The Sun in the UK apparently spoke to a few of the viewers or at least knows someone that was there and overheard. Here's what they said, THRILLED Harry Potter fans went to a secret test screening of his sixth movie  only to brand it a load of old HOGWARTS yesterday. The handful of devotees came out blasting film bosses for making key characters and plot-lines from JK ROWLINGs best-seller disappear...as if by magic. New scenes in Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince  out here on July 17  were branded pointless. Meanwhile the Half-Blood Prince of the title barely features. Worse still the film was slammed as too SOPPY. One gutted fan raged: The film is dominated by romance  Ron with Lavender Brown, Ginny with Dean Thomas, Hermiones growing love for Ron, Rons potion-affected desire for Romilda Vane, and ultimately Harry and Ginny. Another warned The Sun: Anyone who has read the book will be severely disappointed. The latest adventure sees schoolboy wizard Harry  played by DANIEL RADCLIFFE  taught by mentor Dumbledore how to defeat his arch-enemy Voldemort. In the book Harry has a series of crucial memories. But the film slashes these to just two. Even the death of a major character proves to be so hamfisted it fails to make the Warner Bros movie less of a dumblebore. One enraged fan said: It partially blows what may be the biggest surprise of the entire franchise. Another who was at the US screening moaned: The last third of this movie is so incredibly mishandled the death feels more like an unfortunate accident than genuine tragedy. A crumb of good news for director DAVID YATES is that a fight scene not in the book  featuring an attack by Death Eaters on the Millennium Bridge  got the thumbs-up. http://etext.virginia.edu /kjv.browse.html ----------- http://www.youtube.com/pr ofile?user=Its1Just3Me&vi ew=playlists Edit  Reply w/quote Chou_Zu Member Winchester, England, YOO-KAY,in POSTS: 5011 MEMBER SINCE: 2002-09-04 READ MY PROFILE ADD TO FRIENDS VOTE FOR ME E-MAIL ME REPLIED Thursday, March 12, 2009 02:39:52 PM I'm really not surprised by any of that. I had heard there was a rumour that the memory lessons were cut to two. That equals epic failure imo. No Gaunts, no Hepzibah Smith scene, no Voldemort asking for a teaching job. All amazing scenes left out in favour of showing childhood romance David Yates continues to prove he's the wrong man for the job. "Surprised to see your old nemesis, Optimus Primal?

Ideally, they'd still film a few of these scenes and included them in extended DVD editions of the movies, but that obviously won't happen. My top movies of 2009 1.

He is the worst director in the franchise, and that's the truth.

Peter Jackson and LoTR proved people will sit through a three hour movie if it is good and the source material is done justice. This isn't that hard WB!! A monkey good make a good film out of this! All the writing has been done for you!! The plot has been settled for you!!! The fan base loves what IS in the books NOT what is in the minds of WB!! F*CK all of this, I'm outta here . . .

What a shocker!!! As of PoA the series has continued to slide down into a swirling pool of WTF?!? Changing the crew from the first 2 films was one big clusterf**k from the studio... but with the way most conversions turn out, I for one aren't shocked in the slightest. I petition that we start calling this trend "Fox Syndrome" in honor of the kings of screwing up good things. I find your lack of faith disturbing.
