Well, WB might have delayed the release of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” until July of next year, but the promised test screenings of the movie are taking place this month as announced previously by director David Yates. Tonight, one such test screening was held in Chicago and there is a thread ongoing in our forum that contains a report of the film, including a description on the Harry Ginny kiss, Slughorn and more. CAUTION MAJOR SPOILER ALERT at this link. We hope to have more on this shortly and will update here as soon as we can.
HOLY CRAP THE LUCKY CHICAGO PEOPLE GET TO SEE HBP!!!! At least from what I read Harry and Ginny barely kiss. THANK THE HEAVENS. Bonnie Wright does not deserve Dan Radcliffe, I DO. And too bad about Sluggy….
1. Is Alan Rickman good in HBP?
2. How were the Ron/LavLav scenes handled?
3. Is the Felix Felicis part handled well?
4. How did they fit the Levicorpus stuff in? (since the spell was used in the 5th movie for some reason)
Did they show the hole movie or just parts of it. I don’t think they would have levicorpous there they would probably change it with a different spell since they used it in number 5. Wonder how they are going to work that or unless they did the ron eating the chocolate scene without the spell.
Wow. OMG, is this real? The kiss scene sounds like a real dud. i don’t know what i expected but definitely NOT that. ): What is WB playing at? The kiss was a cool moment in the book and it sounds like it’s a non-event in the movie and easily forgettable. I’m so disappointed.
I hope it doesn’t look as bad as it sounds. Do Harry and Ginny even date in this movie? Is there any acknowledgment of their feelings beyond this kiss? It’s so weird.
well after reading dan say he thought bonnie was really nervous and he liked the darker stuff more I expected a dud. Plus he told Emma is was boring kissing. Not a good sign. Maybe bonnie just choked under the pressure.
Bonnie did not choke under pressure, that’s the way the script called it. It’s different from the book, and it’s disappointing they changed it, but don’t blame the actors. Blame Steve Kloves.
I am curious though about them almost kissing before the DE attack though. I thought that whole shoelace thing took place before she was in a bathrobe? Does that mean there’s two different moments here?
"And Potter -- [i]do[/i] try and win, won't you? Or we'll be out of the running for the eighth year in a row, as Professor Snape was kind enough to remind me only last night...."
I wish I could have gon *pout
