Harry Potter latest fails to fascinate

Very few things is successful in taking us to a virtual world. The Harry Potter series is one of them.
I have been a avid reader of the books rite from when it started. Like all the pottermaniacs and potterphiles I also have been a sucker to all the potter accomplishments and his antiques. Even all the pottermaniacs and potterphiles will agree that the books are far better than the movies this franchise warner brothers is making.
The latest addition from the series in the cinemas is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
Well, if u havent read the book please go and watch the movie. It will give you probably the same excitement the previous movies have been offering.
The movie infact overlooks all the interesting parts in the book and is centered along the romance among the young schoolgoers in the first half and rather vapid climax scenes in the later half. Its as if the film-makers and scriptwriters were dozing off when the script was written. David Yates (the director) has done a wonderful job in the previous movie. But here scores a major dud in filming major scenes and even chartimg out succesfully any character. Even the central Harry Potter. Daniel Radcliffe was usual his bumbling self and his friends as usual given much less importance. The only bright characters were that of Professor Slughorn, a new potions teacher, and Professor Snape.
The film starts on the same note as the book in which the death eaters create havoc along the city of muggles. But goes completely offtrack after that with Harry roaming arnd in muggle world as if he has all d protection in the world. the first episode of the book in which the minister of magic discusses the prospects of dark lord with the american president is not included. The viewers are rendered clueless from the start of the fil abt what is happening.
Then all the Voldemorts past is half baked in the movie. The main part of his maternal family which are called Gaunts and are ugly looking magicians is not shown. In that his ugly mother casts a spell upon her hansome muggle neighbour and settles with him for two years. after which voldemort is born. His creating of seven Horcruxes(parts of soul) is also unconvincing. The death of Albus Dumbledore is shown as if nothing has happened. The viewers will settle in two minds that if he is really dead or no. The raging battle between the students and teachers and the death eaters after they enter the school is completely skipped. And the half blood prince? I doubt many will remember who he was.
On the plus side the movie has all its visual brilliance. Especially the scenes when Dumbledore and Harry go on discovering the horcrux in the dark caves.
All said I had a hard Friday watching my favrt character getting an unfaithful visual interpretation. Thank God I have the books which I can reread to keep my interests alive.
