I don't know how many people are as in love with Harry Potter as me, but it seemed like there were quite a few who were pretty darn close at the midnight screening of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last night/this morning at the Rio. Granted, I didn't dress up, because I had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction, but I really was Hermione in spirit.
The movie itself though...I'm not so sure. It seemed like they were trying to make it more of a comedy than it was supposed to be - Ron wasn't the only funny one, like he was in the books. Instead, Dumbledore had some of the funniest moments in the film, and most of Harry's lines are all sarcastic and directed towards the headmaster, which would NEVER have happened in any of the other books or movies.
One of the biggest issues in the movie, for the characters, is love, or their lack thereof. In one scene, Hermione bursts into tears when Ron and Lavender are making out, and Harry has to go and comfort her. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. I understand the need for a bit more drama in a movie, because it keeps people interested, but it doesn't work the same way when the whole story is from a best selling book.
