Someone explain this to me. I don't read the books. why would you name the movie after the book and make it such a plot point and then not explain it? they totally wasted that actors time (and he's such a good actor)!

one thing i did love was helena bonham carter, they kept making excuses to show her (yay!) but gave her nothing much to do (boo!).

I won't even go through my whole schpiel about how much I loved the movie even though I was totally distracted by how many things were left out--too tired, I'll do it later, but I can answer this question right quick. (I think you literally did want to know? If not, well then I'm explaining it for the other people who didn't read the books. )

"Half-Blood Prince" is the nickname Snape gave to himself while in school. His mother, Eileen Prince was a witch and his father was a Muggle (no magical blood). As far as wizarding genes goes, he's only a half-blood, thanks to the Prince side of the family.

But I did wonder (and I may have said this before, I'm sleepy, I can't remember)...who noticed that Lavender was a black girl three movies ago? I caught the change immediately (and confirmed it through Wiki), but I'm not sure if anyone else was looking that closely.

She was such a minor character few would have noticed or cared.
