At the midpoint of the film, the Death Eaters attack and burn down the Burrow, in a scene not in the books.Draco's efforts in the Room of Requirement are shown much earlier in the film for the sake of Dramatic Irony - including using an apple and two birds to test the Vanishing Cabinet.He lost it 16 years ago, the very day Lily Potter was killed, a fact which makes Slughorn guilty enough to help Lily's son at the expense of his own security. Exclusive to the film is Slughorn's story about Francis, a fish Lily Evans made out of a lily petal as a student which she gave to Slughorn.And Narcissa is a combination - where she's completely blonde in the book but gets two-toned hair (blonde and black) for the film.Cormac MacLaggen is the other way around black haired in the book and blond in the film.Slughorn is strawberry blond in the book (in flashbacks to him as a younger man), but his younger self is black haired in the film.We actually get to see it this time, with more foreshadowing (given the script was written after the final book's release). Adaptational Context Change: The conversation between Dumbledore and Snape before the former leaves with Harry for the locket is based on their conversation they had in the Forbidden Forest, which was only mentioned by Hagrid in the book.Actor Allusion: Alan Rickman had a reaction like this when filming Dumbledore's death scene, since it wasn't the first time he'd been involved in someone being shot off a high building.In the film, Harry and Malfoy shoot several spells at each other, hide behind stalls and shoot spells at each other underneath the stalls, run around the stalls while shooting spells at each other and finally Harry uses Sectumsempra on Draco when he sees him standing on the other side of the bathroom, directly after coming out from under cover. In the book, Malfoy turns around and attacks, and Harry almost immediately uses sectumsempra after the two of them cast about two spells each at each other. ![]() Harry and Draco's duel is longer and more intense in the film.By the time Harry returns to it in the film adaptation Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the Burrow had already been rebuilt. The Burrow was supposed to be protected against the Death Eaters, and they simply set fire to it with no effort. There is no further mention in the film of how the home is restored or what happened to it afterwards. While the five are lost in the field, looking for the Death Eaters, the Death Eaters take off and set the Burrow aflame, burning it presumably to the ground, before leaving. Lupin, Tonks, and Arthur Weasley follow them into the grassy marsh. Ginny takes off after him, trying to stop him. Lestrange lands in black smoke and taunts Harry, chanting "I killed Sirius Black! I killed Sirius Black!" Harry takes off after her in rage. Greyback flies and lands in a ball of flame and casts a ring of fire around the Burrow (possibly Fiendfyre, as the flames are quite large and take the form of a serpent). Bellatrix Lestrange and Fenrir Greyback are the only Death Eaters shown. The Burrow is attacked by Death Eaters during the Christmas holidays. There has been an additional scene in the film which has no book equivalent.Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince contains examples of: This film is notable for being the first movie written and produced after the release of the final book, allowing it to begin some heavier foreshadowing of the next films since the ending of the story was finally known.įollowed by the final story, which was split into two films: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Parts 1 and 2. ![]() Furthermore, Draco Malfoy is tasked with something by Voldemort himself, and wacky romantic hijinks ensue for everyone. Harry learns more about Voldemort's Backstory, becomes increasingly suspicious of Snape's loyalty, and discovers an old potions textbook annotated with powerful spells and useful notes from its previous owner who identifies himself only as " The Half-Blood Prince". With everyone terrified, obviously unjustifiable arrests, and misinformation still being printed, just in the other way, and events play out to show that the Ministry can't really stop Voldemort in its current form.īut while those events linger over the plot, the action stays fully grounded at Hogwarts. ![]() The Ministry of Magic has finally accepted that Voldemort is back, but that's not really making the situation any better. ![]() Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth Harry Potter film, directed by David Yates and released in 2009.

The results of this study show that teenagers with synesthesia have a memory advantage in matrix recall memory, leading to the conclusion that, for some types of memory, synesthesia begins to provide a benefit in the years of adolescence.īanissy, M. This study conducts an experimental analysis on the relationship between synesthesia and advantageous memory in teenagers for immediate, delayed, and matrix recall memory. However, a group study of this nature has never been conducted on teenagers with synesthesia, despite this being the age range where advantageous memory would seem likely to manifest. Children with synesthesia in group studies have not been shown to have advantageous memory, while adults with synesthesia in group studies have shown the opposite. Very little is known about what causes this phenomenon, although due to a recent influx of research, it has been recorded that synesthesia provides a wide array of cognitive benefits to those who experience it, with the most notable being memory. Synesthesia is a rare phenomenon in which people associate an inducer, such as a sound, song, or sequence of time, with a specific concurrent, such as a color, shape, or physical sensation. |
