Summary
The sixth Harry Potter movie confuses us. Here we are for Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, but this time, Draco is up to no good. Well, to be honest, he spends most of his time crying. There is a lot of drama over all this angst and teen romance. And despite all this, there is somehow nothing really happening. The structure is very curious. We review the different pros and cons, and Ryan cannot help but bring up various comparisons between the book and the movie versions. We address this film's structure, talk about various ethical choices the characters make, the concept of murder splitting a soul, evil buried within us, and how confidence and fear come from our minds!
