As a link between the previous and the next and mainly used to pave the way for the finale, "The Half-Blood Prince" has inherent shortcomings, and the original is relatively dull. The whole book is always in a depressive atmosphere, with many clues, which seems a bit messy. But as a foreshadowing for the finale, many plots of the Half-Blood Prince have clue functions, which are actually indispensable. However, in the process of adapting into a movie, many important plots were deleted due to the length of the film, but no corresponding remedy was made. As a result, Ha Liu has become a typical fan movie, and you must have seen the original work in the near future. Many plot logics need to be completed by brain. Otherwise, you will be very confused. You will keep asking "why", "how is it like this" and "why not like that" when watching a movie. In short, you need to have someone who has read the original to explain to you, otherwise Do not understand. And people like me who watch the movie right after reading the original will have another kind of anger. Why do you want to shoot this way? The nearly five-hundred pages of the original work must be edited to become a script, but why are these deleted instead of those?
Here are the parts that I think should be deleted:
1/The ambiguous relationship between Ron and Hermione, my God, this film should be renamed "Ron's Love". The adolescent commotion of the two of them, which is greasy and crooked, runs through the film. The question is whether to use so much space. Ron mistakenly took the fascination agent and became a nympho, and watching the moon can even give such a long shot. When I think of the deleted clips, my heart is broken.
2/ Malfoy’s little conspiracy In the original book, what Malfoy did for Voldemort was a secret that was not revealed until the end. Harry had been suspicious of him, but there was no evidence, and those closest to him did not believe him. . This is a plot with more plot tension. When it was in the movie, the three protagonists saw Malfoy touching the cabinet as soon as they came up. Later, I shot him over and over again in the cabinet repairing in the responsive room, putting apples and birds for a while, making people almost fall asleep. This episode can be explained by Malfoy and Dumbledore through dialogue according to the original work. There is really no need to waste these films.
3/ Professor Slughorn’s banquet took two banquets, but did not convey any effective information. It's all Hermione and Ron jealous of each other, boring.
4/ Quidditch trials are related to two factors, one is the relationship between Ron and Hermione, and the other is the psychological comfort of the blessing potion. Given that this story only plays a limited role in this episode, it can be deleted when the duration of the movie is limited. If you keep it, you should at least reduce the length.
The following is the part that I think shouldn’t be deleted:
1/Voldemort’s life experience. I think Snape didn’t jump out to announce that he was the "Half-Blood Prince." "With the Half-Blood Prince" now. Because the movie does not show anything to do with the "Half-Blood Prince" at all, but the original book does. The half-blood prince refers not only to Snape, but also Voldemort and Harry. Harry saw Voldemort's life experience and his childhood in the penis basin, which gave Harry a kind of introspection, and he might also become Voldemort. This is the most important foreshadowing of the finale. Therefore, Voldemort's life experience is very important and must not be omitted. What's more, his life experience and youth involved at least three Horcruxes: the ring passed down by his grandfather, the locket, and the gold cup he stole when he was young. And these Horcruxes appeared in the movie for no apparent reason, without cause and effect, making people confused.
2/ The content of the Silent Curse Defense Against the Dark Arts class has always been the highlight, but it is completely absent in this episode of the movie. Snape finally had a long-cherished wish to become a teacher in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but he didn't even give a scene of the lesson, which was too sad. Dumbledore's death related to it is even more tragic. In the original book, Dumbledore was disarmed by Malfoy because he recited a silent spell to protect Harry in invisibility, thus wasting a precious second. In the movie, Harry was hiding in a room under the roof. Dumbledore stood opposite Malfoy and was disarmed. Please, he is one of the greatest wizards, even if In a serious injury, it is impossible to be disarmed by a minor wizard under prepared conditions. Obviously, the will to die is determined, and there is no suspense at all.
3/ Apparition should at least appear in the teaching and learning process, and must appear "split". This skill, which is very important in the finale, was only learned by the protagonists in this episode, but it did not appear in this film at all. However, in the movie Ha Qi, Ron was injured and bleeds because of the split. Those who have never read the book must find it inexplicable.
4/ The love between Lupin and Tonks is very moving in the original book. Although there is not much writing, it is mentioned from their love, entanglement to marriage and childbirth. Because of this, their final sacrifice is moving. All were deleted in the movie, so in the end their bodies were completely untouched when they lay there side by side.
5/ The school battle after Dumbledore's death. This was originally the only thrilling wizard war in the original book, and it can be regarded as a vent for the dull book. When it came to the movie, it was gone. A group of Death Eaters left like this under the good situation of Dumbledore's death. There was such a big incident in the school that no teacher or student chased it out. This logic...how does it make sense.
6/ The original book of Dumbledore's funeral is very beautiful, and it does not appear in the movie. What a sad and solemn ending should have been, it turned out to be the three main protagonists looking at the scenery on the top of the building. My blood is not enough to vomit.
