Harry Potter and the Self-Perpetuating Gravy Train

Not going to apologise for lack of updates again, needless to say dying of flu isn't fun. Anyway onto film related business: The Telegraph has reported that followers of the Harry Potter franchise were disappointed after being treated to a special preview of the latest incarnation of the almighty cash-cow, entitled Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (link to the trailer is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBGbKCm_pQQ) due to ""pointless" scenes and missed out many crucial characters and plot lines."

An over abundance on romance between the central characters is also credited for being part of the film's downfall, along with several key scenes and important characters to the story being omitted.

Whilst personally I'm not a fan of the series, the books included, it'll be interesting to see whether or not if the film series can please it's die hard fans in the end, so i'll be keeping track of this story with more to come, the link to The Telegraph article is here - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/4977774/Harry-Potter-fans-of-JK-Rowling-series-disappointed-at-preview-of-latest-film-Half-Blood-Prince.html

Also expect a full review of Watchmen up in the next couple of days, that's it for now
