Very little other than conversation about Harry's new romance. And they did cut the ending when Harry tells his new girlfriend he has to run off and do some ass-kicking and wants her to stay behind. Wonder if any film nuts have noticed yet: in leau of a black guy to die/get hurt first, a redhead will always step up. Yay gingers! No Scrimgeour at all.

I did, however, read some of the director's comments on the movie. He said that they're done trying to appeal to everyone that has not read the books, because there is so much to include into just one movie. I would suspect that the next two will be similar. If you didn't read the book, you won't get everything that is going on in the movie. There were a lot of things that could have used a lot more explanation.

There's the whole explanation in the book as to why he is, what it means, etc. Especially because (and the whole ending was kind of like this) it happened so quickly that it seemed kind of like an afterthought.

The Half Blood Prince specifically tells Harry at the end of the movie. "How dare you use my own spells against me!" (Kicks the wand from Harry's hand) "I am the Half-Blood Prince" How could so many have missed this? Why is everyone saying that the Half Blood Prince was never revealed? The Half Blood Prince specifically tells Harry at the end of the movie. "How dare you use my own spells against me!" (Kicks the wand from Harry's hand) "I am the Half-Blood Prince"

How could so many have missed this?

But the ending was definitely off, it was like they ran out of time and just sorta cut it. Hopefully they next two will explain everything. And you're right about "that" scene. My partner turned to me and said 'look it's Gollum'. And even though I knew what was coming I still shrieked and jumped. I loved it, it was visually stunning.
