Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Yesterday, my Dad, a family friend named Kiara, Maria, and myself went to a one o'clock showing of the newest Harry Potter movie. For this blog post we decided to do something a little different!

Pros

1. It was very funny
2. The acting was better than it was in the first 5 movies
3. Fred and George's shop was good
4. The scenes where the Death Eaters were terrorizing Muggles were really realistic.

Cons

1. They skipped the Quidditch Cup
2. Harry and Ginny kiss in the wrong room at the wrong time. It was extremely cheesy.
3. Harry gets away with using a really bad curse. In the book he gets detention.
4. They burn down the Burrow! That was uncalled for.
5. They only show two memories
6. They completely skip Apparition! What the heck!
7. Dumbledore gives Harry no ideas about where the next five Horcruxes are. How will he know that something is a Horcrux!
8. They SKIP Dumbledore's funeral! That is a really important part.
9. They didn't have the Hogwarts fight scene! Bellatrix just smashed up the Great Hall and that was it.
10. Neville did absolutely NOTHING!
11. The ending left you clueless. How will the Trio know where the Horcruxes are and what they are! Are they just gonna wander around England, guessing that random things are Horcruxes? The ending was the worst part.
12. The scene where Dumbledore drinks that bad potion to get to the fake Horcrux was too short and not painful enough.
13. It wasn't dark enough. I don't mean like lighting, but you didn't get the dark and dangerous times feeling. In the book they really stress how evil the times are and how uptight people are about security and what not.

We give it a 6 out of 10. Now you've heard our thoughts on the movie, and if you want to see how other people reacted check out our list of links. If you saw the movie please comment about it below. For those of you who are going to see the movie, Be Warned!

Two Babies

Yesterday we had David and Jacob over. After playing baseball for a while we decided it was time for a snack so we went inside to get some ice cream. After both babies gulped down their first bowl of ice cream they made sure that everyone knew they wanted more. When my dad decided that they had enough we got out the yogurt. It was the same thing all over again. If you watch the video you'll see what I mean. Ah blissful Summer!
