Monday can die

This post…I think I won’t let it be funny. Oh, and nothing about school. Seeing as an un-funny thing happened on Monday…
Anyway, I might as well continue on HP6.
Gong into the…romantics of the movie…
Basically, both Hermione and Lavender love Ron…and both Harry and Dean love Ginny Weasley.
In the Three Broomsticks… (Since when did the barkeeper become a male?)
Ron: Look at them! This is a public place!
Hermione: Relax Ron; they’re only holding hands… (Turns over to see Dean kissing Ginny)…and snogging…
In a small interlude, Katie Bell touches a cursed necklace outside the bar. Rushed to McGonagall’s office…
McGonagall: Why, is it that when something happens, do you three HAVE to be around?
Ron: To be honest, Professor, I’ve been asking myself the same question for the last six years.
On Harry’s return to the Burrow, Death Eaters launch an attack on the Burrow and
So, Ron has to be greedy and eats chocolates laced with love potion meant for Harry.
In Slughorn’s Office…
Slughorn: With a genius like you, Harry, I reckoned you could have whipped up a cure in no time!
Harry: Well, looking at the circumstances, I think a more experienced hand was necessary.
(Ron hugs Slughorn)
Slughorn: Maybe…you’re right
Basically, Ron ends up in hospital (not telling you how!) While he’s in a coma…
Lavender: I happen to be his girlfriend!
Hermione: I happen to be his…friend.
Ron: Mmf…
Lavender: Yes, Won-won (that always makes me crack up) I’m here!
Ron: Her…mione….
(Lavender bursts into tears and runs away)
Great job, Ron…
Later, Harry extracts the memory from Slughorn Dumbledore requires, and proves his abilities. Dumbledore agrees to take Harry to join him in cutting away another of Voldemort’s life-strings. Taking him by Apparition out of the school, (apparently being headmasters means you CAN bend some school rules). The waves crashing upon that pathetic outcrop they end up on is grand…
Personally, I thought the sight of Dumbledore conjuring the twisting inferno is the best scene in the film. Personally. He is THE wizard to beat. How The Hell can he do magic at his weakened state?
Still, being so powerful, he is THE target for the other powerful one in the wizarding world, and upon his return to Hogwarts, who should he meet but Voldemort’s assassin, Draco Malfoy.
Now, see, Mr. Malfoy has been preparing carefully for this. Actually, failed the first few times and had to resort to this. Failing to curse the Hogwarts headmaster or poison him, he lets the Death Eaters into the heavily defended school through the Vanishing Cabinet. As the Death Eaters rush up to surround the severely enervated Dumbledore, (funny, Harry was trying to use Enervate in the book to revive Dumbledore’s strength), Snape sneaks past Harry, and snuffs out Dumbledore’s light. Harry attempts to curse Snape, but Snape reveals that he is the Half-Blood Prince.
Near the end of the movie, students and teachers alike raise their wands in a tribute to their fallen headmaster, and the light from their wands and the sun dispel the Death Mark cast by Lestrange, and the movie sets the undertone that darkness, no matter how powerful or debilitating, will be defeated by the light of day.
