Here's a comparison and contrast essay I wrote for school - keep in mind my English teacher has never read Harry Potter, so I had to explain stuff.
When comparing a book and a film, au something similar, the first thing one thinks about is obviously the plot. And in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, at first glance, you'll find it's rather similar in both the book and the film. Harry, Ron and Hermione, the main trio, go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their sixth year. They're shocked when they find out that ex-Potions Master Severus Snape has been named Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor. They wonder who the mysterious Half-Blood Prince is, seeing as Harry has inherited his old Potions book. They start to suspect that fellow student Draco Malfoy has been made a Death Eater – follower of Lord Voldemort, their nemesis. They go to visit Hogsmeade, the wizarding village near Hogwarts, and are shocked when another fellow student, Katie Bell, is cursed. Basically, in both the book and the film, they have a normal start to their school mwaka – as normal as a mwaka at Hogwarts can be.
Now, this is where the plots begin to differ. In the book, Headmaster of Hogwarts Albus Dumbledore begins to give Harry private lessons, in which he shows Harry memories relating to Voldemort and his Horcruxes (pieces of his soul sealed in inanimate objects); whereas in the book, the school mwaka continues rather normally. During the krisimasi holidays, Harry visits his friend Ron's house, but where JK Rowling gave him the relief of a quiet krisimasi with his friends, Yates decided that now was the perfect opportunity for Death Eaters to attack the house and burn it to the ground. Not really such a wise move, seeing as a wedding is supposed to happen there the following summer... but if Yates got himself into that mess, I'll just suppose he can get himself out.
After a while of normal school in the Easter term, however, both the mwandishi and the director decide that something must happen, lest the story get too dull. So they both decide to have Harry meet Malfoy, resulting in a duel of sorts. Harry is running out of spells at this point, and decides to use one he saw in his Potions book: Sectumsempra. This spell basically tears great holes in your opponent, and Harry is horrified kwa the damage he has caused. He makes to run away, but is stopped kwa Snape, who 'just happened' on the scene – it probably has nothing to do with the fact that Malfoy's mother made Snape swear to protect Malfoy. So far, so similar... but apparently, JK Rowling favours stricter punishments than director David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves do. She has Snape give Harry Saturday detentions for the rest of the year, meaning he'll miss the Quidditch final – even though he's captain of his team. Whereas from the film duo... nothing. Nada. Nil. No punishments, even though Malfoy might have died, had Snape not 'happened' on the scene. However, the even convinces Harry he needs to hide the Prince's book, just in case something like this happened again.
His chosen place is the Room of Requirement, a room that will become whatever the user needs it to be. He leaves the Prince's book there, and the book tells us this is the end of it – but it seems David Yates had other ideas. He knew that this is the mwaka Harry gets together with Ginny Weasley, his future wife and best Marafiki little sister, but for some reason he ignored the perfectly good scene in the book where Harry kisses Ginny after she wins the Quidditch match for them, and instead had Ginny kiss Harry in the Room of Requirement. And as if that's not enough to make so-called Harry/Ginny-shippers (people who upendo the pair together) mad, he adds fuel to the moto kwa not inaonyesha their relationship at all throughout the rest of the film.
After this, the plots seem to meet each other again. In both versions, Dumbledore asks Harry to accompany him to a rock in the middle of the ocean, where he believes a Horcrux is hidden, and Harry agrees. They go there, get the Horcrux, come back... nothing wewe wouldn't expect – because that part starts after they return to Hogwarts. Death Eaters have invaded the castle, and are there to meet them once they arrive. They are very much caught unaware, and this results in many things, but most importantly Dumbledore dying while Harry watches, helpless, invisible and frozen (by magic).
Once Dumbledore is dead, the Full Body-Bind curse he put on Harry breaks, so he can move. But he doesn't, for a while; he is too shocked. When he finally does move, it's slightly too late – the Death Eaters have gone. So, long story short, he tracks them down and challenges Snape, the one who's hand Dumbledore died by, to a duel. In both the book and the film, they duel, but thanks to special effects the film is slightly zaidi effective in communicating the atmosphere to most readers/viewers.
At this point, apparently, the film duo had long since run out of ideas for their own little side trips and decided to keep to the plot, because the rest is rather similar, with one final exception: Dumbledore's funeral. In the book, it is a magnificent affair, but perhaps the film was edging closer to it's time limit, since it was completely left out.
Both the book and the film end with the same scene, which is rather atypical for this franchise: Harry telling Ron and Hermione that the Horcrux was, in fact, a fake, and that he is going to look for it and others of its kind instead of going back to school inayofuata year. Of course, Ron and Hermione immediately declare their intentions to follow him, and Harry oh-so-nobly denies them – initially. He does give in rather fast, seeing as nobody would want to embark on such an adventure alone.
As probably everyone knows, films are rather expensive projects. This one, for example, had an estimated budget of £250,000,000. That's two hundred and fifty million pounds, folks. However, one might say that it paid itself back, since it grossed over £76,000,000 on it's opening weekend alone – and that figure only includes data from five countries. It's ujumla, jumla gross as of December 17 2009 was dancing around £254,000,000, and Merlin only knows how much it's earned since then.
Controversially, while the book cost near nothing to write – if we assume that Rowling was already in possession of a computer with a word processing program – it sold 9,000,000 copies in the first 24 hours in the UK and USA. And remember: this was 2005.
The cast and crew of the film was reported to number some few hundred people, starting with the actors and ending with the director's assistants and minibus drivers. They all came together to create a 2,5 saa film, which is generally viewed in one sitting, while Rowling, working alone, wrote 600 pages. Considering how fast a somewhat normal person reads, this guarantees at least 7-10 hours enjoyment that can be interrupted, carried around and experienced over and over.
So I guess what I'm trying to say with that last sentence is that the experience of kusoma a book is completely different to the experience of watching a film, and nobody has a right to declare that one is better than the other. This is an issue that will always be discussed, especially now that zaidi and zaidi vitabu are being turned into films and zaidi stand-alone films are being made simply in the hopes of making profit, and not because they have a story to tell. But, I digress: as I was saying, nobody can declare ones superiority over the other. A person like me would be the first to say that, in my opinion, vitabu are better since they really give wewe an in-depth look into the thoughts and emotions of characters, and since an mwandishi can spend five pages describing a sweet duka if (s)he so wants, and because most often written action sequences are easier to understand than ones wewe see. However, a person less literately inclined would prefer films, because wewe can see the environment, and the action, and because wewe can hear the sounds, and in the future you'll probably be able to smell the blood – au the roses, whichever one relates to the situation. They are both right, since it's entirely a matter of opinion.
So, in other words, there is a lot of the same material in both the book and the film, even if they are fundamentally different. This leads to the fact that while they have the same target audiences, some will favour the book and some will favour the film. This is how it's been up until now, and this is probably how it'll continue until a time when (shudder) vitabu have become obsolete.

Severus Snape was, in fact The Bravest Man I Ever Knew. "Albus Severus, wewe were named for two headmasters at Hogwarts, one of them was a Slytherin. And he was, probably, the bravest man I ever knew." Severus Snape fought for what was right. "A true wizard on the inside. Not afraid of what he had to do" "Long zamani I had a teacher. A sallow skinned Slytherin with long black hair. I hated him and he seemed to hate me too. Though I branded him a coward, he was, in fact, the bravest man I ever knew."
So, I say, to Severus Snape, 'You were the Bravest Man I Ever Knew. Long live Snape! He was "a true wizard on the inside."'
To Snape!

We don't have a set tarehe for when the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open, but today from Orlando, Florida, Universal Studios confirmed that the park would be opening in Spring of 2010. The three main rides that will be found there are Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Flight of the Hippogriff and Dragon Challenge. On Flight of the Hippogriff wewe can interact with Hagrid as wewe learn to fly a Hippogriff. Dragon Challenge will recreate the first task of the Triwizard tournament and wewe can fly either a Hungarian Horntail au a Chinese Fireball Dragon.
Some other places that will be found at the park are: Ollivander's Wand Shop, Owl Post, Dervish and Banges, Three Broomsticks, Honeydukes, Zonko's and Filch Emporium.
