The Half Blood Prince Trailer And Thoughts On Books Vs Movies.

This is the Trailer of the new Harry Potter Movie, based on the number 6 Harry Potter Book The Half blood Prince.

I love Harry Potter books. I discovered Them by chance, when I had time to spend on the art of book choosing.

The first book in the series had just been published and there was no mass hysteria or phenomena yet…

Reading Harry Potter put me in the same happy mental place that kids books do, reminding me of my bookworm childhood and my happiest moments reading my fantasy books of the time - other worldly books like Frank Baum’s Oz series.

Harry Potter books are so amusing and rich in detail and imagination that they completely transport me to that same sort of state.

On the other hand I’m not such a great fan of the movies. Quidditch is better played in my head and and my imagination is capable of much better less limited descriptions the Hogwarts express, the sorting hat the spell gone wrong and so on. I will probably go and see this movie, find it both as fun and as disappointing as I did the previous movies in the series.

The only Fantasy movie based on book that has not come short of the book, thus far is Tolkien Lord of the Rings . (I have actually seen two versions of this Book in Movies - one is the recent release and another one from way back in the 70’s or maybe 80’s is an animated version that was quite wonderful as well)
