Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I went and saw this movie at the Drive-In in Henderson last week. 5 dollars for 2 movies. It was a lot of fun. Cheap food and drink. Ashley and I probably spent 20 dollars for two large popcorn, 2 drinks, and a candy. Anyway, on to the movie. I have read all of the books (twice) and I had higher hopes for this movie because I felt that the Harry Potter series was getting better with each movie. I thought this movie was pretty terrible. I was definitely disappointed. I know they can't put everything in the book in the movie but they even added scenes that made no sense at all. I still can't figure out why they did that.

The Harry Potter series has garnered only 6 nominations through the first 5 movies. "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (#2) and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (#5) did not receive any nominations. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (#4) was nominated for art direction (losing to "Memoirs of a Geisha"). "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (#3) was nominated for for music score (losing to "Finding Neverland") and visual effects (losing to "Spider-Man 2"). I don't expect this to break into any of the major categories either. I would not see it again and I'd give it a 1.5 out of 5.
