Could it be that genius of Flossdom, Ransom Riggs, wrote and directed the short film "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters"? Pure brilliance, old man! Why, do my eyes yet deceive me?

If you know of a movie that is better than the book, please do share. I have yet to see a movie live up to the book so if I read the book I don’t watch the movie, and vice versa.

This book happened to be my favorite of all the series and I anticipated the movie to live up to the book, and was disappointed. In addition, I was disappointed in the fact that they didn't spend enough time on why the movie is called THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE. They didn't show how obsessed Harry became with the book, nor did they show how Snape became suspicious of him having the book, or the true identity behind the book. Snape may have been the Half-Blood Prince but the movie didn't reveal why or how, or the fact that the book belonged to his mother 50 years prior, and the fact that Snape is "half-blood" and no one expected that. The movie just very flatly announced at the end that Snape was the Half-Blood Prince, period - the end. My favorite still remains HP3: Prisoner of Azkaban. Being a great fan I have collected a list of good sites and articles (may be around 200) related to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (movie information, movie schedule, movie reviews, books, games, news, wallpapers and many more).
