>movie named Half Blood Prince
>find out it was some character's old nickname
>it has no bearing on the story whatsoever

Does it make more sense in the book or what?

>make sense
Pick on

Try The board accepts it now that the new book "ruined" the "legacy"

I haven't read the book so I don't wanna listen to bookfags. I wanted to talk about the movie, which I did watch.

It was a why was Snape the way he was backstory in a sense

Then came the pensive of Snape's memories to tie to all together

Ooh I can't wait for that faggot to post the copypasta

You know what makes more sense? This was one the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

>God tier: The Great Gatsby
Dropped.

Nope, it was pretty much a side story.

It made more sense in the book because the book of the Half Blood Prince and finding out who he was, was a central plot point in the book.
In the movie it's about who makes out with whom and the story just gets dragged along somehow.
