Where I totally do not give away spoilers but comment on tiny, insignificant moments in the film.

Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince.

May I say that it's my favourite film of the bunch?
God bless David Yates, he does make a cracking film.

None of the HP films have met my expectations yet but this one came the closest. 
And hey! It only took six films but Daniel Radcliffe can finally act! Granted, he's acting like David Tennant but he's getting rather good. Nice comic timing, Sir.

Another thing I noticed... possibly the most homoerotic film of the bunch.
If it weren't for Ginny and Hermione it'd be a veritable slash-fest.
If you've already seen it you might have been giggling immaturely just as much as I was when Snape scolded Malfoy for not being able to conceal himself and that he was going to need some assistance... quite.

I particularly liked a moment (completely un-slash related) where Dumbledore told Harry he needed a shave.
"Really?", quothe the audience, "Because we've been watching this in HD for two hours and he's as smooth as a baby's behind."
This was followed by Dumbledore remarking on how different Harry looks now compared to how he looked when they met that fateful night at The Dursley's.

Harry responded wistfully, "You still look the same, Professor. "

"...Really?!" quothe the audience once more, choking on their popcorn, "Because he looked a lot like Richard Harris a couple of years ago.

My favourite scene had to be the one where Harry and Dumbledore enter the post-global warming Fortress of Solitude, and our trusty teacher becomes both a Jedi and Moses in the space of five minutes. 
Brilliant. 
Not quite how I pictured that scene when reading the books but a pleasant surprise all the same.

Anyway, that ends a slightly tipsy blog.
Still no mention of the comedy from last night, I know.
But it's coming, honest.




(That's what she said. Heyooooooh!)


And goodnight.
