Half Blood Prince

[toad]

liked the movie A LOT! didn't seem like two and a half hours at all(actually the lame previews before it seemed longer). as others have mentioned - not exactly like the book, but still very good. they did add a couple things, however, i really liked. the hourglass in slughorn's office that slows down if the conversation is interesting - that's not in the book, right? also, the scene with harry in the diner getting hit on by the HOT waitress - pretty funny in an 'awkward teenager' sort of way. in fact, a lot of the movie had those 'awkward teenager' moments! wished we would have gotten to see more about the ring dumbledore had acquired(it is important to the story). finally, i thought the ending was done better in the book, but i won't say anything as to spoil for those who haven't seen it yet.
