Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince should have been two different movies
We all know that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince isn’t the greatest Harry Potter movie but maybe if it was two different movies, it would have been better.
It is a universal truth that not every movie in a series can be incredible and the Harry Potter series is no exception. You have your Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menaces and you have your Batman v. Supermans out there in the world and then, of course, you have Half-Blood Prince.
The movie tried to smash too much story into one movie. Rushing a storyline and revealing who the Half-Blood Prince was in very quick succession all because we were trying to fit it into a 2 hour movie? Please, at least give Snape a bit more time than that. The reveal that he was the Half-Blood Prince was so rushed and unnecessary that it felt like a cheap shot at what this movie could have been.
So what if it was actually 2 movies? Just let the story flow through two movies and let us really understand the story of the Half-Blood Prince? They introduce so much in the book that it is honestly a disservice to rush that story and it definitely shows in the movie. Then again, if we remake these movies any time soon, they should just be a television series so we can really get into every aspect of the Harry Potter series that we want to explore that the movies didn’t get to.
Do you think Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince would have worked with two movies or does the movie we have no stand on its own? Sound off in the comments below and let us know what you think!
