Liss and I went to Redbank Plaza to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last Saturday, and we both enjoyed it. Liss said she enjoyed watching the witches and wizards apparating and I did too. Also for them to do that they have to turn around on the spot while they concentrate very hard on the place they want to be. The movie was also plotted differently from the book but it didn’t bother me, as for example instead of Dumbledore collecting Harry from the Dursleys, Harry waits for Dumbledore inside a cafe.

And then Harry is taken by side long apparation as Dumbledore needed to talk or rather needed Harry to talk Horace Slughorn into agreeing to teach at Hogwarts again. Liss thought that Professor Snape killed Professor Dumbledore. But I explained that Dumbledore was dying in the movie, and it was also what he wanted Snape to do as I told Liss that Professor Snape is on Dumbledore’s side and Harry’s. I also told Liss that I thought the potion book that Harry gets was probably put there on purpose for Harry, but Liss didn’t agree with that theory. I then told her that I think that Dumbledore may have helped Snape to close his mind to such a degree that Voldemort couldn’t read him and Liss could see this happening. Liss then asked me a question about Draco Malfoy as he had been made a death eater and she knew that I have read all the books about Harry Potter. And I told Liss that when Harry defeats Voldemort I think that Draco would have been very grateful and relieved as it meant that Draco was now free from Voldemort.
