I can't say I loved how the romantic relationships were translated to the screen in the HBP movie - they were so cut down and spliced together that it felt like a *lot* of nuance was missing from the book. And I didn't like some of the cuts that were made to the script. Particularly the fact that Ginny's presence on the tower at the end was originally planned in one of the script drafts (so that it would have been all four of them there and Ron wouldn't have been hanging out by himself in the back while Harry and Hermione talked) and was cut before the scene was filmed - making the end of the movie oddly stilted. Also, it didn't hit me at the time I saw it, but someone pointed out to me afterwards that unless you already knew the book, it didn't make much sense/matter very much when Snape revealed he was the Half-Blood Prince. It seemed to relate less to the overall plot.
28. Hogwarts subject you would most like to take
Definitely a toss up between Transfiguration and Charms. Both are useful, and seem like a lot of fun!!
