Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was really good. Although I must say that I, once again, thought that too much got cut out. The book is, of course, better and is filled with a lot more information than the movie. I know that the movie people are separating the 7th movie into two parts. They probably could've done it with this book too.To me, this movie moved at a slower pace than the others that have came before it. The book most certainly was not that slow. It had more action and interesting things than they put in the movie. I know that they don't want movies that are extremely long, but I still believe that they left too much out.
I have been back and re-read the entire series and it was crazy how much the movie didn't have in it. I almost couldn't tell that they were the same. I am so excited for the 7 and 8th movie! It will be sad to see them go after the series has finished...but will they really have gone? No! Well, the people will be done, but the locations won't.
If you don't know, in Orlando, Florida, Universal Studios is making a new park. It is called The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. They will be re-creating Hogswarts, Hogsmeade, and I don't know what else. It sounds awesome! I would love to be there on opening day!
Last I have heard, they will be opening the park in September of 2010. If you would like to know more about this and even possibly sign up for their newsletter, you can go to the website at http://www.universalorlando.com/harrypotter/. I'm just incredibly excited, you just don't even know!
From what I've read, you will be able to walk around Hogsmeade and visit some of the shops like Zonko's Joke Shop, Dervish and Banges, and The Three Broomsticks. You will also be able to walk in and about Hogwarts itself! How fun will that be?! I can't wait till next year!
