movie review - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2011.08.15

Sadly, the ground broken with the previous Harry Potter movies is forgotten in this confused mess. I feel like I needed to have read the book to understand this thing, and because I didn't -- and won't -- I guess I never will. I honestly don't feel like I'm missing much. I mean, there's a lot of time with this or that teen falling in love or being jealous or envious. I mean .. a lot. I felt like it wasn't necessary for me as a forty-year-old to see this.

Not recommended.

The problem is not people being uneducated. The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught.
