Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (Warning - Contain's movie spoilers)

I saw the movie, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, last Thursday, and once again it was a thoroughly enjoyable Harry Potter experience. I must say though that many things in the film were different to the book. The entire Dursley scene, complete with Dudley's eversized tongue, was completely written out of the movie. That would have been a laugh. Everything Post Dumbledore's death scene was different from the book, which was one of the dissappointments, because i would have loved to see what they did with a funeral of that nature. Morbid, i know, but it was written so beautifully in the book that I wanted to see it.
The Arogog thing was funny as ever I have to say, with Hagrid blubbering over his dead pet spider, Slughorn waited for an opportunity to cut it's limbs to use it for a potion. All the while Harry has this perplexed and slightly amused expression on his face which is priceless.
The Ron/Lavenda scenes were too funny, the way he swooned over her, but then when he was given a potion to counteract the effect of Romilda Vain's chocolates, that was even funnier. You have to watch it to know what I mean.
You can see the tension between Ron and Hermione, just as you can see it between Harry and Ginny. The times they almost kissed, interrupted by Ron or Hermione or Slughorn, added to the tension and you just know something is brewing between them.
