B/c it shows up if someone quotes it.

No, it doesn't, at least not legibly without some effort -- not if you use whitesmoke instead of just white:

"This is a quoted spoiler" in white: "This is a quoted spoiler"
"This is a quoted spoiler" in whitesmoke: "This is a quoted spoiler"

Of course, nobody should be quoting spoilers anyway -- there's no need.

I guess my eyes are the bomb because I can read both of those colors without highlighting. Maybe it's good that she didn't post it? lol

Thanks for the PM. That's nuts! I need this movie to hurry up because I have a NEED for understanding!!! *falls to knees in desperation*

[nikki1920]

All right, all right. (But if you change the the color to "gainsboro" when you quote, you really can't read it.

SEE WHAT I MEAN?

Yeah, I know nobody's going to do that.

So PM me please, lauralaylin.

[lauralaylin]

I'll PM you MysticCat! Anyone else that wants me to as well. I understand not wanting to know, and I'm a spaz with html, so I am not going to post it here..

[AOII_LB93]

I'll take that spoiler please.

I have purchased tickets for 12:01 am on July 14th at a brand new theater that just opened by my house. I will be taking my two kids and two of their friends. This theater has assigned seating so we already have our seats and won't have to wait in line for hours to get good seats. Yay!

ETA: and yes, I have to work the next morning... my first day back from a vacation too. I may have to ask for a couple hours off that morning.

I read these books so long ago, I can't even remember who the Half-Blood Prince is.

That is why I just reread the book. I'm pretty excited after the reread.

Since it really ruins nothing of the plot of the movie or the book (impo), the Half-Blood Prince is Snape.

Other than that, the horcruxes, Draco's task, defense against the dark arts teacher, I don't remember most of the book.

Also, I don't recall Quidditch being played in this book at all, but yet there are supposed to be scenes in the movie. Didn't Ron become a member of the team in book 5 (although it wasn't shown).

This is the book in which Harry becomes the Quidditch captain.

The people at this theater are whacked and I'm surprised nobody here pointed it out... Yes, my ticket confirmation says Tue, Jul 14 12:01 am, which was LAST night. I had requested time off for this morning, to go to work at noon. Thankfully, my daughter said something to me yesterday and I called the theater. "Yes, that's Tuesday night" and my boss was kind enough to switch my time off to tomorrow. MORONS! Tue, Jul 14 at 12:01 am is NOT Tuesday night to Wednesday. But their website says it is. I kind of wonder how many showed up last night. The movie is Wed, July 15 at 12:01 am. Sheesh. So glad my daughter caught it in time. I'm supposed to be taking a nap, but can't get sleepy.

Just saw it today

So far...my favorite summer movie


SPOILERS TO FOLLOW...DO NOT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW And DO NOT QUOTE THIS BECAUSE THE SPOILERS WILL SHOW UP!!!!!
































Pacing focused more on the love lives of Potter and Jenny and Ron and Hermoine


If I remember from the book, there was a deeper explanation of why Snape was the 1/2 Blood Prince as well as some memories with Snape being teased by James that did not appear in the movie.

No revelation as to who exactly the Prince was (if you have read the book you know what I mean)

There was no big wizard battle at the end, nor was there a big funeral for Dumbledore and I was kinda disappointed with that.

Otherwise while there a very dark element to this movie, there was a lot of funny moments.


Scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 6 (Edited after a convo with MysticCat in PM and after my brother saw it who just re-read the book, my score lowers)

Loved it but haven't read the book in a long long time so I don't know what was missing... need sleep.
