Everything Wrong With Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince 

"I'm just saying that if I had been Voldermort in this series,I would have won" ------ Cinema Sins

If Liquid Luck is "tricky to make", couldn't one chug Liquid Luck before creating Liquid Luck to reduce the chance of failure? And then mass-produce it?

“Why’d we teleport to outside of the cave professor?” “For a dramatic camera angle Harry.”

biggest sin: an amazing book about lord Voldemort's origin, revieling Horcruxes and harry learning CRUCIAL information was turned into a whole movie of love-triangle

"Oh, cool!... What?" is actually everyone's reaction to anything Luna says, ever

“All hogwarts students has survived all attempts at murder since year 1” Cedric?

Dumbledore: "Ah, to be young again and feel love's keen sting." Snape: "Fuck you, Albus."

The biggest sin of the entire movie is that they had tine for the spider's funeral but not for the Dumbledore's one

calling draco "evil harry potter" is the best thing

9:48 you actually reminded me to something that said “I love how Voldemort waits ‘till the end of the year to kill Harry, he cares about his education”

“Hmm. Storm clouds in London. Better go to the window to witness this extremely rare occurrence.” 😂

It was actually Moody who said "This conversation is no longer private" because he can see through everything with his magical eye.

How Voldemort could win- -in Voldemort's place- "So, hmm, maybe this would work..." -scribbles- 'Dear Harry, Can you please meet me in this forest because I wanna hang out. -Ginny' "Perfect!" Then boom, when Harry shows up, Avada Kedavra that sh*t!

So hold on, the invisibility cloak Harry has is a piece of Death's robe, as seen in the next 2 movies. It allowed that one guy to hide from *Death itself* for years. But those weird invisible things that Luna was talking about can find him under this absurdly powerful cloak? Can Death not see weird little bugs, yet mortal Luna just needs glasses?

10:05 No, it was Barty Crouch Jr. disguised as Mad-Eye Moody who knew Harry was eavesdropping. A sin for you!

"Oh, cool. What?" The in universe reaction to Luna.

At 10:18 Snape wasn't the one who said "This conversation is no longer private" It was Moody...

Why wouldn't voldemort just make a pebble a horcrux and throw it in the sea?

_"He's one of them."_ is a DOUBLE pronoun game!

"Hermione's got nice skin" What an oddly non-serial-killer thing to say all of a sudden...

You never appreciate how many loose ends are tied up by the books until you watch an "Everything Wrong With..."

One inconsistency I found is that in this movie, during the ice cream party Prof. Slughorn is hosting, Hermione says her parents are dentists, she has to explain it to to all them like dentistry is an unheard of profession to the magical community but in the first movie you can see at the Weasley home that their is a granfather clock with the faces of each of the Weasley children on a spoon that signal where each of them are and one of the labels the spoons can point to says "dentist".........nitpicky? who? me?

The entire movie in 3 lines Ron-I love Lavender Snape-I’m the half blood prince Dunbledore-guess I’ll die. Conclusion. This movie could’ve been three minutes long

Voldemort should’ve just turned 7 random rocks into horcruxes and fly over the ocean chucking them in at random times

So many people in the comments going ''Yeah, you are wrong, the book actually explains that''.. True, but the movie doesn't.

12:40 To be fair, the movies have already shown that magic can be done by accident: snake in the zoo, Aunt Marge, etc.

I love Ron’s wording in this. He says: “so you and Ginny did it?” Harry’s face makes me crack up every time.

In the books there WAS an anti-eavesdropping spell, but the movies thought: “nah, then we have to come up with creative ways of caracters finding out stuff...” And thats also a sin

"Voldemort split his soul into seven Horcruxes, but he decided that only one of them needed to be an RPG adventure to find." Hahahahahahaha xD

I would say 95% of sins were because of poor book adaptation.

"What if that had been poop?" I died 😂😂😂

"Surely there's a spell that could make you forget something completely." Its not like that was a majot plot point in the second movoe or anything

I know this is three years after this video came out, but I’m still upset about this goddamn movie. It was my absolute favorite book because so much was explained and explored and the movie threw away all the good parts (including the entire Riddle family backstory) just to focus on hormonal teenagers. This could have easily been the best movie of the series and they ruined it.

"go to hufflepuff to stick your slytherin in someones gryffindor" cRying

id start each HP video with 100 sins for the quidditch rules off the bat

"So that means you're carrying around 19 framed pictures to a new place every week?" No. It means that every week he has to wave a wand a few times and his packing is done for him. Then then again a bit later after instantly apporating to a new place, and his unpacking is done for him. You'd think CinemaSins had never watched a wizard pack their things before, despite this being the 6th movie in the series. (I would also be good at CinemaSins) PS: I loved your use of the Die Hard music for when Dumbledore is falling off of the astronomy tower. Perfect!

To everyone saying "Most of these sins are explained in the books", a stand alone movie should be able to hold up as an adaptation without needing you to go ahead and read the book. If they expect you to read the book to get the full story, then there's no point to having a movie.

"Luna is the Lada Gaga of this group" 😂😂😂

sin 28: (they explain this in the movie its not just a book thing) The Unbreakable Vow isnt unbreakable because you magically have to do it, its unbreakable because if you do break it you die. Vowing to impress Kate Upton with your math skills would be suicide.

"Leaving the Assassination to Draco, who thought this was a good idea?" It wasn', Draco was supposed to fail and then Voldemort would kill him. It was supposed to be Voldemort's revenge to Lucius for the Ministry of Magic fiasco and for losing Riddle's diary. Dumbledore and Snape saved Draco's life.

Take the luck potion then make more luck potion can't go wrong

3:05 it sounds like in that scene Bellatrix is trying to do ASMR

Speaking of chemistry, there actually WAS SOME between Harry and Hermione throughout the movie series. Just think Prisoner of Azkaban rescue, Goblet of Fire brainstorming sessions and Deathly Hallows when they were left alone. And she got Ron because... pairing.

He should have removed a sin for the casting of Bellatrix LeStrange. Helena Bonham Carter is the perfect choice to play her and her acting to portray an insane witch is bloody incredible and doesn't get enough credit

no there is an anti evesdropping spell, its called muffliato

Moody, Snape... the point is powerful teachers shouldn't get eavesdropped on. But still, sin on us for mixing up the names of teachers in a franchise we're getting tired of watching.

"It's RON WEASLEY" My thoughts exactly when I first watched it.

He said he’d do a “Merlin’s Beard” bonus round if Slughorn said it one more time, but then he narrates over the next time he does it. DING!

We need to see the Quidditch matches because YOU CAN'T CANCEL QUIDDITCH

The Harry Potter ones are always the one I dislike the most because they're grasping for straws throughout the whole thing. My biggest issue this time was the complaint about the Room of Requirement being different when they have expressly said it becomes what you need it to be. In this case, it's a room where students have gotten rid of unwanted items for decades. The other thing that bothered me was everything about the vanishing cabinet. It was broken and Malfoy had to learn how to repair it. It's not super well explained in the movies, but it's not like it's not hinted at all.

Everyone knows Harry and Hermione were meant for each other,its so clear in the books and early movies. Even JK Rowling said it was a mistake putting Ron and Hermione together. But whatever I love these movies and books, they were a big staple in my childhood.

"Draco always have an apple on hand, just in case he needs to eat it" Drapple is amazing

The liquid luck potion is the stupides thing in the universe already as it is but not the least because it indeed utterly hurts the whole storyline, for the reasons mentioned in this video. If it hadn't been made a crucial and unavoidable part of the sixth book's plot, I would totally remove its existence in my fanfiction universe. But as it is, I can't and have to just ignore it while it exists. Don't get me wrong, I love the HP books and universe, I live and breathe them and I love Rowling for writing them. But it doesn't mean I have to like everything she wrote into them. The liquid luck is just so lazy and unnescessary part of the universe and story.

Though you did this video forever ago, just one small note. Snape didn't say that line in the 4th movie about the conversation no longer being private. It was Mad Eye Moody who said it so it makes sense that he wouldn't know Harry was eavesdropping.

For sin 95 it's actually mad-eye not snape who says that

Could we get a sin of for Draco in the all-black suit? Because that almost took my breath away like a dementor

QUIDDITCH. IS. IMPORTANT. They didn't have enough Quidditch damn it! I want to see a MOVIE about Quidditch! I want to have a ENTIRE MOVIE about the Quidditch Cup! I'D WATCH a movie about Quidditch! Only a Quidditch Match !

There actually is an anti-eavesdropping spell. Snape created it

They didn't properly explain that the luck potion can get super addictive and have really bad side effects that can get you killed, hence why he's only made a tiny bit... The film really just sucks. The broken vanishing cabinet was introduced in the second book

Slughorn does travel with all his photos. It shows how he prioritizes his connections and prides himself on finding and nurturing talented people, even over his own convenience. Tonks was the one who found Harry on the train in the books, and it's because she was watching for Harry and didn't see him leave the train. The sorting hat always gives a speech, Harry is just usually off doing things like getting his car stuck in a tree and misses it every year, or the movies cut it out because nobody really needs to see it. If you drink liquid luck too often, bad things happen. It's toxic in high doses and makes you giddy, overconfident and reckless. Dumbledore's memory doesn't have to be vivid upon regular recall. That's why the pensieve is so important. When you extract the memories and view them in it, you can see all the little details the fallible human mind can't focus on. Wands focus magical energy and are a powerful tool. However, there are entire cultures where witches and wizards practice wandless magic, such as Native American wizarding communities, and it's definitely possible even for wizards who typically use wands. Tom Riddle was a sociopath. He wanted the full benefit of a magical education, read Dumbledore's body language and noted that even a powerful wizard didn't think his methods and demeanor were cool. So he made sure to reinvent himself before school started. Sociopaths have a remarkable ability to turn on the charm. Also, given Slughorn's surprise at the way Tom was acting in his memory, it's clear it was out of the ordinary for him at that time. We only got to see glimpses of Tom Riddle when he wasn't being careful to conceal himself. He was too excited and forgot to act innocent. There is no such phrase as "on accident". It's "by accident". Making an unbreakable vow doesn't mean that what you vowed will automatically happen. It just means you'd better try your darndest to do the thing, because if you don't complete your task you die. Snape made Dumbledore promise to never reveal the real reason he decided to work for good. Dumbledore isn't the best at revealing things at the best of times. He certainly wouldn't go out of his way to betray Snape's confidence just to set some peoples' minds at ease. The Vanishing cabinet appeared much earlier in an offhand comment in the books, as did many other magical objects that would become important later, like the diadem and the locket. It's one of the many reasons that the books are praised so highly for their world-building. It isn't coincidence that Harry keeps finding Draco, he's stalking him using the Map. Draco isn't experimenting with the cabinet, he's fixing it. It was badly broken, which is why somebody threw it in the room of requirement. Which, by the way appears in many forms according to the user's needs. Its catch-all storage space form appears to anybody who needs to hide something or throw something away, and people have been getting rid of things in there for centuries. And the room doesn't see good and evil, it only sees need. And Draco badly needed to fix that cabinet or risk Voldemort's wrath. He's in full-on panic mode the whole second half of the movie. To get in, you have to know where it typically appears, and walk past it three times while thinking very hard about what you require. Neville found it by accident while pacing, and everybody else (including Draco) can find it now by repeating what he did. Dumbledore knew Voldemort split his soul multiple times and why, but he wanted confirmation, and he wanted to know exactly how many times. He was surprised to learn it was seven because even he didn't think Voldemort was that awful. The cave had a spell on it that prevented regular magical spells like conjuring boats, apparating or summoning water. Muffliato is the anti-eavesdropping spell, but in the heat of the moment one forgets. In the book Dumbledore also put a body-bind curse on Harry to prevent him from interfering in his death. When Snape and Dumbledore make their plans, Dumbledore mentions he doesn't want Draco's soul split. When Snape asks Dumbledore why he isn't worried about Snape's soul, Dumbledore points out that the "murder" would instead be an act of mercy since Dumbledore is dying a slow and painful death already. Draco might not know this, but Snape does, and intentions affect magic.

This is my least favorite HP movie, but these criticisms have a few flaws. - That's not how unbreakable vows work. - Liquid luck is poisonous in high doses and also takes a REALLY long time to make. - Seeing memories in vivid detail is KIND OF THE POINT OF A PENSIEVE. because you can't see those kinds of details when you're just recalling it in your head. - The spectator turnout is so big for the Gryffindor tryouts because HARRY POTTER, THE CHOSEN ONE WHO IS ALL OVER THE MEDIA is now team captain. You don't even have to read the book to figure that one out. - McLaggen is also the biggest douche in all of Hogwarts, which is why he asks Ron to introduce them. - Hermione has her wand hidden. She's holding it low so it's not in the shot. - You forgot "Why is Hermione acting like she's a bit tipsy? She's a minor and Butterbeer is non-alcoholic." - None of these students with magical powers do anything when this girl is hovering in the air because they are STUDENTS and this is OBVIOUSLY dark magic. Trying to do something would probably just make the situation worse. Also, let's see you keep you wits about you and think of a helpful spell when a girl has just been hoisted into the air by some unknown force. - The cabinet was broken (As draco later says). - Wrong - that was Crouch Jr. disguised as Moody - Wouldn't you want a dancing cake topper to brighten things up if your society was on the brink of war? - Yeah, wizards producing magic un-intentionally totally didn't happen in the first movie when harry made that glass disappear - The Room of Requiremnt is always equipped with whatever a person may need. The room they are in there is a facet of the RoR which exists SPECIFICALLY for people to stash illicit items. That's the accumulated junk of probably over 1,000 years. Yes because he really needed it IT'S THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT IT'S SOLE PURPOSE IS TO ONLY APPEAR WHEN SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS IT. - Yeah because Voldemort would totes have not put an anti-apparition enchantment on his cave where he's hidden part of his soul. - Augamenti wouldn't have worked. because SECURITY ENCHANTMENTS - It wasn't a good idea. Voldemort knew Draco would fail so he could kill draco and further cause his disgraced family distress because he's a sadistic bastard. - The splitting of the soul doesn't JUST happen. It has to happen in order for a horcrux to be made, but it has to be intentional. - You also forgot the biggest hole in this entire movie (and this is personal for me, because if I had a galleon for every time I was asked this I could buy a years supply of chocolate frogs THEY NEVER EXPLAIN WHY SNAPE IS CALLED THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE. books orno books i think that bears some kind of bsck story or explanation. Otherwise it is totally random. That's a Cinema Sin if ever I saw one.

IT"S RON WEASLY!! lmao

Just to let you know the luck potion, if someone takes too many doses then the person will experience strange side effects

Where is my "Hermione isn't old enough to be hot"?

Holy shit how can people still not understand this? The books don't fucking matter, the movie should stand on it's on, it's not a companion thing or whatever, it's a standalone product, so before you start bitching about this and say the book explained it, think again

I'm laughing at all the salty comments. This is CINEMA sins, not BOOK sins.

I feel like a number of the sins here were counted due to lack of understanding, but then I also read the books before seeing the movies so maybe I've got more background info than your average Joe.

Why don't they just make all the kids take the unbreakable vow to never use the magic they're taught for evil?

CinemaSins bring up a good point. Why would someone like HERMIONE GRANGER want to date someone like..well..Ron? What does he have going for him? He's immature to a fault, can't mind his own goddamn business, is a bleeding hypocrite when it comes to romance, has no special talent worth mentioning whatsoever, (there's a reason why he's got that massive inferiority complex), and is the very essence of mediocrity. I just can't figure out why ANYONE would like this dude, especially if they look like Emma Watson and have the brains of Hermione Granger. People tell me that Ron's special because he's "loyal". Please. Who ditched Harry in the fourth book because he thought Harry had conned the goblet, rather than that someone was trying to actively kill him? Ron. Who abandoned Harry and Hermione in the seventh book because he just couldn't handle camping out and having a shitty locket? Ron. Dumbledore even *specifically* gave Ron a tool to help him find his way back to Harry and Hermione because he knew Ron would ditch them. Ron's ditched people more than anyone in the series has ditched anyone else, ever. If that's "loyal" then I'll eat my left foot.

Funny, but arguably somewhat inaccurate in some places. Now, I'm not an expert on Harry Potter but for example, if I'm not mistaken the vanishing cabinet was originally broken and that's why he had to test it. Plus, it's really not that crazy Dumbledore wouldn't tell everyone everything in a world where mind reading is a thing. Keeping your cards close to your chest and telling people things only on a need to know basis is often not a bad idea, if a bit Machiavellian. Slughorn saying that Voldemort's monster was buried deep down was also later revealed to be him just being evasive. And not doing anything with the cursed girl, well... yes they know magic, but they're only young students. It's not that crazy to think they wouldn't know the right spells to coutneract whatever was happening or being able to figure out what WAS happening. Also, magic NEVER had to be done on purpose to happen. Plus, the snow was more an existing spell interacting with an emotion, near as I can figure.

1. An unbreakable vow can't aid you in your task, only kill you if you don't complete it. 2. It's specified in the book that Liquid Luck can only be used a few times in a single person's lifetime. 3. Wandless magic has always been possible, only harder and less powerful. 4. There must've been a Death Eater at the other vanishing cabinet which was who bit the apple and sent it back, otherwise how would Draco ever know it had arrived? 5. It's specified later on in the movie Draco was fixing the vanishing cabinet, which is why it needed testing. 6. In the Goblet of Fire it was Mad-eye Moody (or Barty Crouch Jr.) who said "this conversation is no longer private", not Snape. 7. No, they can't just magic up a new house, if they could that would be in the sin-count. 8. You're questioning why Ron doesn't need to intend to make it snow to make it snow, while he's sitting below a magic ceiling with changing weather. 9. The room of requirement contains whatever you need, therefore if you need somewhere to learn to fight, it contains books on the subject and training dummies, while if you need to hide something it reveals a room in which people have hidden things before, which is where Draco could find a hidden vanishing cabinet. 10. Yes, the Patronus Charm is strictly for Dementors. No, it couldn't help in this situation too. Video Sin Tally: 10 Sentence: Split it in SEVEN!!!

3:51 That’s not a sin, that’s Luna lovegood

Here's a question, why is Draco wearing the same suit for the entire 6th year?

A sin you forgot: If Snape gives you a months detention for throwing up, why doesn't he give any disiplint to Harry for almost killing a student. But not only that a student from the house he supposed to keep track off!

HERMIONE'S FINALLY OLD ENOUGH TO BE HOT

I DID wonder about that. If killing someone makes your soul split, would it still split if you and the person you're killing had a mutual agreement beforehand?

Ginny just goes through the fire like Tra-la-la are u fuckin kiddin me? Lel good one :D

15:56 The thing is that there is an "anti-eavesdropping" spell they just never use it. It's called Muffliato and fills the ears of those who are in the area casted on with a loud unidentifiable buzzing.

“But Draco was allowed into the Room of Requirement because he REALLY needed it? Like what?” Me: um..... yeah that’s how the damn room works bruh

Ron and Hermione have had chemistry throughout all the films. Look at Chamber of Secrets - Ron and Hermione don’t hug at the end, but shake hands. In Goblet of Fire Ron is jealous of Hermione and Viktor at the Yule Ball, and Hermione gets overly mad at Ron for not asking her. In Prisoner of Azkaban and Order of the Phoenix, Ron and Hermione have a kind of awkward chemistry throughout the entire film. They’ve been building them up since at least film two.

I usually like CinemaSins, but it does seem a bit like he's never watched any of the other films or really paid much attention to this one. I mean the room of requirement is pretty clearly explained... as is the stuff about not being able to solve all the problems just using magic... as is how slughorn carries stuff tons of stuff around... as is most of the stuff sinned in this video

Professor McGonagle would be great at Cinema Sins.

"11.. That's when I get off." "Damn, that's specific."

It says “bridge collapsed: Death toll rises” despite the fact that nobody on that bridge died.. ya missed that one

"Evil Harry Potter" 😂😂😂😂😂

7:00 OMG 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t know why, but that bunny-bear thing made me laugh so hard!

*watches first version of these* *GETS ADDICTED AND WATCHES ALL OF THEM*

"if i was voldemort in this series i would have won." Everyone would have have won if theyd been voldemort, i wouldn't have even used a curse on baby harry. I'd have just put a few pillows over his face, and walked away.

That sin for the wrackspurts was shitty. Everyone knows Luna is crazy, you can't sin the odd girl for being odd. The textbook's recipe isn't wrong necessarily, it's just that the half-blood prince's revisions make the potion brewing easier. It's like taking a short cut. Why the potion isn't used all the time: "Brewed correctly the drinker of this potion will be lucky in all their endeavours, but be warned … excessive consumption is highly toxic and can cause extreme recklessness." And Voldemort had to make a passage to access the Horcrux because like the Journal from the Chamber of Secrets, it has to be found by someone to restore him. If he locks it up for no one to access he wouldn't be able to get out of the Horcrux, or wherever it is locked up.

I honestly feel Harry Potter would of made a much better long running TV series. That would fix some inconsistencies and important plot elements lost in the movies.

how to be immortal step one, make someone your horcrux step two, make them make someone their horcrux step three, make that guy do the same thing step four, repeat for as long as you want step five, make thefinal person cast a horcrux on an average stone step six, throw that stone into ocean step seven, keep calm and live forever

So, he's totally right, if literally ANYone else had been voldemort in the series, they would have won.

10:12 i think mad-eye moody told this in the goblet of fire

There's multiple anti-eavesdropping spells. There's one that Snape invented and wrote in his potions book. Its called Muffalo but that means that only Snape and Harry know it.

damn, half-blood prince is my fav book. rewatching the movie (even in this situation, and even thru the amount of times ive already watched this so many times) breaks my heart someone help me edit: DRAPPLE :)))

1. Draco had to fix the vanishing cabinet cos there were issues so it took a long time hence why he tested 2. It was Moody who once said 'this convo is no longer private' not Snape. 2 different people with one having an eye that can see beyond surfaces and behind him. 3. Snape's soul won't split in two if you read the book you'd realise it wouldn't account for murder but more putting Dumbledore out of his misery rather than let him prolong an eventual death seeing as he was cursed.

This one is honestly my favorite. Tom Felton's criminally underrated ELECTRIC performance which allows us to feel sympathy for Draco without immediately forgetting the bad stuff he has done. You learn that he isn't evil, but he isn't good either. A very complex character who's the product of environment and his upbringing, yet, even with those factors he still managed to retain some semblance of "goodness" that his father did not display unto him.

Missed sin: none of this would’ve happened had dumbledore not sent tom riddle to go to school

16:39 I gasped so loudly at how casually you blew off Dumblodore's death my entire family looked at me like I was crazy

@6:08 book: "it's unusual, but not unheard of."
