I wish I had more than 2 thumbs so that I could give it more than a 2 thumbs up! It was an amazingly good story! You will need tissues....me and many others cried openly more than once! There were a few things that were drastically different from the book, but the movie was awesome enough that I could overlook the differences. I would definitely recommend this movie. I left feeling wonderful, sad that this is the end, and overall emotionally drained.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was much better than Order of the Phoenix! I was disappointed that there was no big fight scene, but I understand why they didn't put it in when the last book has the ultimate fight scene in it. Of course, since the last book is being made into 2 movies, they could have had some fight scenes without it being redundant since the ultimate fight will be in the final movie. I also was disappointed that we could not see Dumbledore's funeral. I'm not sure I would have put it in this book, but I would definitely start the next movie with it! Overall, this Harry Potter movie was one of the better ones.
