The beginning of the film, Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince, isn"t nearly as grim as the opening pages of its literary source.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth chapter in the franchise & perhaps the most important for Harry & his friends, when Voldemort is back in full force and menacing both the Muggle and the wizard worlds. But the story begins its narrative much differently in the film version than in the book. Although its intention is the same, & both versions carry a rather similar tone, they're much different in scope và spectacle.

The Half-Blood Prince film starts with the somber shadow of Voldemort's return pouring into the Muggle world by showing a group of Death Eaters flying through the streets of London in smoke size until Diagon Alley, where they kidnap wandmaker Ollivander. They then proceed lớn damage the Millennium Bridge in the city, causing its collapse amid much chaos. Whereas the book begins with an odd meeting between the recently sacked Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, và the Muggle Prime Minister, where Fudge conveys his fear and the seriousness of the situation by announcing that Voldemort is back -- and that means war.
The Half-Blood Prince film is carefully centered on the relationship between Dumbledore & Harry, và filmmakers decided lớn pick up exactly from the over of The Order of the Phoenix. Therefore, và after witnessing the tragic death of Sirius Black, the first shot is an emotionally and physically shattered Harry being carefully guided by Dumbledore through a crowd of flashing journalists. The dark tone is subsequently enhanced by the state of fear that follows. With no more need for secrecy, Death Eaters now roam even more freely, forging grim weather & causing havoc in both worlds.
In the book version, the Muggle Prime Minister, who is not given a name, is unable to grasp the cause of such chaos. That is, until Fudge calls for an audience and explains that despite countless efforts to erase memories và sustain damages, war is upon them & will definitely affect both worlds. Fudge proceeds to lớn tell him he’s been replaced by a new Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, who arrives moments later. The meeting is a sinister warning & becomes even grimmer given the broad scale of the threat. It also mentions an incident with a bridge that might have inspired filmmakers to use it as the main threat lớn the Muggles at the start of the film.
The ministers' meeting serves lớn underline the seriousness of the situation, even lớn the Muggle world, which had always been surrounded by a layer of oblivion & protection. Its simplicity và dialogue casts an ominous tone far greater than any other incident. But, by being replaced with the attack on the bridge, the filmmakers are conveying the same message, albeit with more spectacle và a larger scope, which enhances the threat of the dark forces. Yet, it also leaves audiences wondering which would've been the better choice.
The chapter, titled "The Other Minister," shares much of the Muggle world's point of view, which would've pulled audiences away from the main storyline. Ultimately, since the Muggle world isn't often approached in the movies, the ministers' meeting remains another cut from the big screen adaptation that leaves fans wondering how something with great potential could've worked.
Dark, thrilling, and occasionally quite funny, Harry Potter và the Half-Blood Prince is also visually stunning & emotionally satisfying. Read critic reviews
