Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8060 Annouced Officially for Smartphones and Future Tablets

February 11, 2011 1 Comment

HP TouchPad became the first in line of pad to acquire the latest processor from Qualcomm. HP announced it earlier than Qualcomm could. However, after operating this 1.2GHz several reviewers have told that it works like a charm and is pretty good with multitasking.

Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8060 gets official

Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8060 gets official

Anyhow, Qualcomm has finally announced their new processor, Snapdragon APQ8060, after realising that there was no point in hiding it anymore. They have also mentioned the true power of this latest processor.

It will allow future smartphones (as close as this quarter) to gain camera levels all the way to 16 megapixels and will be able to capture 1080p 3d videos.

Touchpad excelled in every aspect in the reviews and I don’t know why it was in the competition with iPad anyway, because the specifications of iPad does not even lie close to Touchpad. However, I cannot say the same for iPad 2, which might be released by April 2011.

Other than taking awesome pictures in 3D, working with 3d projects will now become a reality with future tablets and pads and smartphones.

At least now we’ll not have to switch on our laptop (high-end) or desktop (high-end) to create an animation just for fun. I am pretty sure that things are going to change around here, starting from April 2011, when the competition will be mighty-tough.

It is going to be legen…wait for it… dary!!

Call of Duty: Black Ops First Strike | Download Content Available Now | Trailer and Review

February 4, 2011 Leave a Comment

Microsoft has released the expansion pack of Call of Duty: Black Ops named First Strike and I have some videos for you fans. Though this game cracked every chart and popped every stats in the FPS games category. It still received some of the most harsh comments in Call of Duty series.

For one thing, some played hated the zombie because they had several games, awesome at that, regarding zombie killings, like Left for Dead 2, Dead Space 2, etc. So, many were not that psyched about it. Anyway, this game still rocks and we hope the same for the DLC.

What’s new in Black Ops First Strike DLC?

  • You will have 5 new levels.
  • 1 zombie level is also included and that’s one of those 5 new levels.
  • 4 Multi-player maps.
  • It costs $15 (which is too pricey for only 5 levels and 4 maps, considering the DLC is not quarter to Black Ops in any manner).
  • You can buy it from Xbox Marketplace for 1200 points and that’s also a bit lot.
  • It weighs 646.37 MB in your hard disk.
  • It is just Pack I, so we might hope for Pack II, III, etc. and gamers are loving it. Black Ops First Strike at Xbox Market Place (hit it)

Unfortunately, I cannot entertain you with a gameplay video and a personal review of the download content, First Strike. I can still provide you a trailer and a review from Luke Connolly from Shadowlocked.com.

So enjoy fellas! :)

Android Market for Web is Live

February 3, 2011 1 Comment

Finally it’s here and live for everyone to use. Android Market is now open for business. It’s not like it was not before but everyone loves the easiness of purchase things online from PC as well, not just from an Android device, am I right?

Have a look at the picture and then we’ll discuss, how to purchase apps from Android Market website?

Android Market is Now LIve

Android Market Live

The images follow to Android Market website, so you may follow it as well without caring about any redirection. :)

Anyway, How to purchase apps from this new Android Market?

  • Let me first tell you that everything is neatly categorized and you’ll learn that only if you visit the website yourself.
  • You’ve got games and applications, and that is all you’re going to need.
  • Now when you click on some game or application, you’ll be taken to the page where you can have an overview of the game or application, have user reviews for your pleasure, see what’s new and view permissions involved with the app (games or applications).
  • Let’s say, we want to buy Need for Speed Shift for over high-class smartphone with Android.
  • You click on it and you’ll come to all those things that I mentioned above.
  • If you are not signed in, the website will tell you to sign-in before you can make a purchase (if you click on Buy). Don’t worry, you can sign-in with your Google account credentials.
  • The only problem is, you need to have an android smartphone linked to that particular google email account and I am pretty sure, if you are going to buy an app then you would have already linked your smartphone.
  • You have to access Android Market with an Android smartphone and they will be linked, so next time you’ll be able to purchase an app right from this web client and send it to your smartphone.
  • Purchasing is just as before. You have the option to pay via Credit cards, etc. We just have the option to view applications and games more clearly then before. Because, no matter what they say, 4.3-inch screen is still nowhere as close as to 40-inch, right?

Have fun using Android Market web client fellas! Ciao!

How to categorize music in Ipod Classic 120 GB using playlists?

January 9, 2011 Leave a Comment

You may have read my previous article in which I demonstrated the method of successfully updating or restoring your Ipod Classic in a step by step process(size doesn’t matter, whether it is 40GB or 120GB, the method is same). If not then feel free to read it here (link to my previous article).

In this article I will tell you an easy way of organizing your music or videos in way that is easier to manage than throwing lots of stuff in your Ipod irregularly. Obviously many of you know it already. But I think that, everyone is not the same hence this article is dedicated to make their work easier.

Things you need:

  1. ITunes Software – A must have software for your Ipod. It is usually shipped in the CD with your Ipod but please prefer the latest version because it increases the fluidity of process for your device. Install it on your system and you’ll get necessary drivers for your Ipod automatically.
  2. IPod’s USB connecting cable – You may want to keep this handy because Ipod Classic is not 3G or Wi-Fi enabled unlike Ipod Touch. This data cable is also shipped with the box but in case you have lost it then please consider buying it again or save a bit of money by borrowing it from someone. ITunes will automatically detect your Ipod when you connect it to your system.
  3. A computer, whether laptop or desktop, with operating system Windows XP or better or Mac OS (current version).

With all things assembled and done, you may proceed for the following steps:

  1. Connect your Ipod with the usb cable. ITunes will launch automatically when it detects the device.
  2. If it doesn’t for some reason (like you unchecked the box in Edit>Preferences to not let it launch automatically when a new device is connected) then you’ve to open it manually from Start>All Programs (Vista).
  3. Look in the leftmost pane. Your device (Ipod Classic) is listed beneath ‘Store’ with several options like Music, Movies, On the go (IPod’s default playlist where you can add songs directly from IPod’s screen), etc.
  4. Click on any of the above stated option so that ITunes can know that you want to work under your IPod’s options. Now click on ‘+’ sign deep below. If you station your mouse over it for some time, a tool tip will let you know that this option ‘adds a playlist’ to your device.
  5. Click on it and now you’ll see a new playlist under Ipod Classic’s options waiting for you to enter a name for your playlist. Name it anything, like Love Songs, Rocking Pop, Michael Jackson’s Evergreen, etc.
  6. Adding Songs :
    1. i.            If you want to add old songs (which are already in your Ipod) to your playlist so that you don’t have to search that song in the mess of thousands of other songs then all you have to do is click on ‘Music’ option (where each and every song of your collection is added when you transfer the song from your computer to Ipod with the help of ITunes) and just search your favorite song which you want to add.
    2. ii.            If you want to add new songs which aren’t in your iPod then you will have to search that song in main ‘Music’ option/folder of your ITunes beneath Library.
    3. iii.            If your song is not even in ITunes yet then you’ll have to add it to library before you can add to your Ipod. Click on ‘File’ and then ‘Add File to Library’ or ‘Add Folder to Library’ whichever suits you. Now your song has been added to ITunes.
  7. Best way to search a song is obviously by typing its name in the search bar stationed at the top of ITunes for a handy use.
  8. Now just drag it to your newly created playlist. Remember, dragging the file to your playlist doesn’t actually copy the whole song. All it does is create another address for the file which you can access by going inside your playlist.
  9. It means that if you delete the song from ‘Music’ option then it will be deleted from your Ipod as well. But if you want to delete the song from your playlist only, say Rocking Pop then it will stay in ‘Music’ option in case you need it later on in another playlist.
  10. You can follow the same procedure while managing your movies from the clutter of Music videos because ITunes consider all MP4 files as movies whether they run for just 5min (for a video song) or 2 hrs (for a movie).
  11. Just create another playlist with that ‘+’ sign and name it as Movies. Now click on default ‘Movies’ option under ‘Library’ of your ITunes where it stores all MP4 files and drag the particular movie file to your new playlist.
  12. In just a matter of seconds your whole Ipod will be neatly organized and you’ll have more fun in watching or listening than searching your stuff around.

Navigating your Ipod for playlists:

  1. I really didn’t need to tell you this. But I guess this will act as filler for this article.
  2. All you have to do is navigate your wheel for ‘Music’ in the main screen and press ‘center’ to enter. Now just navigate to ‘Playlists’ with the wheel and enter.
  3. There you have it. Your playlists are listed there and ready to use. The procedure is same for Video Playlists also.

Thanks for sharing your precious time. Feel free to comment and if you have any suggestion for me then I’ll be grateful to have it.

How to restore Ipod Classic 120GB Easily?

January 9, 2011 7 Comments

An Apple’s Ipod Classic 120GB is a great treat or gift for someone who is fond of music and loves to store massive amount of music and stuff on his/her fingertips.

120GB is really a hell lot of space to store your stuff, whether it is music, videos, movies, pictures, etc. You can also use it as an external disk to store your non-iPod compatible stuff. That can be setups of your software, doc files, games setups, etc.

If I were to describe this device in one line then I would say that this iPod version from Apple is just awesome for multipurpose use.

But as you probably know that iPods are infamous for corrupt system software (referred as iPod itself), hence you must know how to deal with such situation without any extra cost or hassle.

Must have things:

  1. Latest version of ITunes – I am stating latest because latest version of Apple’s ITunes software can fix various bugs in your Ipod as well as in ITunes itself so that you can work smoothly from next time.
    You can always download latest version of ITunes for free from Apple’s website. Just type www.apple.com and then head for a link stating ITunes software. Clicking on that link or image will lead you to the main page where you can download ITunes for free.
  2. Ipod Classic 120 GB usb cable – This is a connectivity cable which is supplied with the box to connect your Ipod with your laptop or desktop. If you have lost it then you’ll not be able to restore your iPod as well as transfer data to your device.
  3. Internet Connection – After the above stated two things, this last one is the real deal which ensures the latest firmware version to your Ipod Classic 120 GB via Apple’s site.

That’s all, now follow this quick step by step procedure to successfully restore/update your Ipod Classic 120 GB.

  1. Install latest ITunes software on your computer after downloading it from Apple’s website. It is 8.0 as I write this.
  2. Connect your Ipod Classic 120 GB via usb cable with your computer. Your system will automatically detect a new hardware and with ITunes already installed in your system, all the necessary drivers will be installed automatically.
  3. Open ITunes when you successfully get this message stating that “New hardware is successfully installed and is ready to use” (obviously it may be something else depending on your operating system, but you get the idea).
  4. When you open ITunes for the first time after connecting your Ipod Classic, it will automatically detect its serial number, maximum disk capacity, data already installed in it and some other information.
  5. You will also see the current version of your Ipod Classic’s firmware. Latest ITunes version also contains the information of new firmware versions for  IPod’s hence if you’ve gotten a new version available then you won’t have to look anywhere else, ITunes will list it automatically. Along with the information about the firmware, you will also see two buttons stating, ‘Restore’ and ‘Update’.
    This is where you need an internet connection. Click on ‘Restore’ if your Ipod Classic’s firmware is corrupt and you want to reset it to factory settings with absolutely no data (i.e. no music, no videos, nothing).
    But if you just want to enhance some fluidity in your Ipod Classic with latest firmware and want to keep all your data and settings intact then you may want to click Update. Your data and settings will not be affected in any manner. New firmware may contain some bug fixes, performance boost, and extra fluidity for your device.
  6. Decide carefully whether you want a complete ‘Restore’ (deleting all data and reinstalling firmware) or you just want an ‘Update’ (keeping all data and enjoy new bug fixes).
  7. In my case, I had to restore my Ipod Classic because a noob friend of mine showed a little extra intelligence and formatted my Ipod via my computer’s built in ‘Full Format’ function (you know what I mean!).  This in turn corrupted my IPod’s firmware and ITunes could not detect the total disk space in my Ipod, let alone transferring the data.
  8. Alright, in any case, when I clicked restore, ITunes connected itself from Apple’s sever to find out any new version than my current corrupted version of Ipod. Luckily there was one. In a matter of time ITunes downloaded the firmware (57 MB) and saved it to a temporary location.
  9. Now you have to click on restore again to let ITunes install it to your Ipod successfully. Your Ipod will restart and now you’ve gotten the latest version of firmware available for your Ipod Classic or in other words, your Ipod Classic 120 GB is fixed without any extra cost apart from the internet charge if you had you use a cyber café.

Things to remember

  1. Never disconnect the Ipod while ITunes is installing the latest firmware.
  2. Never copy applications or music or any data that you want to play on your Ipod directly. Always use ITunes to transfer music and movies. Because Ipod will detect all your data as external, just to store it for sometime if you copy and paste it directly.
  3. You don’t have to download the firmware from Apple’s website whenever you need to restore your Ipod. ITunes will keep it safe for future use until you uninstall ITunes application from your computer.

That’s all, thanks for sharing time to read this article. Please feel free to comment or leave any question or suggestion you may have.

How I met your mother Season 6 Bad News Review

January 6, 2011 2 Comments

Note: Reader Discretion advised and this goes without saying, if you care about spoilers a lot then this article is going to spoil the whole episode for you.

I’ve recently watched Episode 13 (season 6) of How I met your Mother that was aired on 3rd January 2011 and I do have some things to tell you about it. So let’s get started.

This episode can be considered as the best and the saddest episode of the whole season (6) and I know that you might take that line as a negative comment, but please don’t! It is very hard to create two of the most shaking feelings in the same episode and Pamela Fryman (Director) has well directed those feelings.

This episode made me laugh so hard that I really, truly, literally (whatever impresses you) fell off my couch. I didn’t know that the concept of two Barney’s could be so hilarious that I’d remember this episode forever. I knew that sooner or later, we will eventually see Barney Stinson’s doppelganger, however, the doppelganger Barney (Dr. Stangel) was a completely different person. When he saw Barney (and his ridiculous acts), he had only one thing to say, ‘Ok, You have to go’.

This moment is definitely not looking that funny right now because you can’t see ‘expressions’, but wait till you watch the episode in person.

Now it is the time for some big spoilers, so read with caution.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I Review

December 17, 2010 Leave a Comment
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part I
 Itdefinitely left me wanting for more and I am desperately looking forward forthe second part in 2011. Read on to find if it’s worth your time or not.
·        Themovie starts with a wonderful pace and we soon find ourselves watching Harryand Hagrid being chased by death eaters. The thrill was awesome and the pointwas included well about Harry being recognized as the real one with the help ofHedwig (and her death made many of us say ‘ohh’).

·        Somescenes were edited heavily (again) to suit the pace of movie. However, therewere some scenes that I wanted to see for real in the movie (starting). Forexample, I wanted to see Dudley thanking Harry for saving his life and actuallyconsidering Harry as a ‘normal’ person.
·        Nevertheless,the chase sequence dealt with this. Now that I think of it, chase scenes acrossLondon were far more appealing in the movie than in the novel. They actuallyinvolved the oncoming traffic and tunnel with the chase sequence and it wasmarvelous.
·        Dialoguedelivery and moments of awkwardness were delightful and convincing at the sametime and I could feel the friendship building up between our three wizards.
·        Somescenes, which were actually just time consuming were omitted (thank for that),like Ron explaining how he is going to get out of his house without theMinistry getting involved and Hermione working hours for the run and somescenes, that actually slowed down the movie a little were ‘boring’, e.g. Harrydancing with Hermione to cheer her up after Ron left.
·        Otherdialogues (like Hermione telling that she erased her parent’s memory to keepthem out of danger and I am glad that they included it with some heart-touchingscenes) were successfully embedded as the movie was progressing. It was notcompletely in sync with the novel, but, was definitely in sync with the passingmoments.
·        Ifelt some seriousness building inside the audience (everyone around me) whenthe fight broke between Ron and Harry regarding his (Harry’s) blind-journeytowards finding Horcruxes.
·        Anyway,for people who didn’t read the novel and never had a clue that Ron was going toreturn, were taken aback by this (missing out the point completely that it wasthe doing of that Horcrux).
·        However,when he finally returned and saved Harry from that chilly pond, things startedto tense, on the screen and around me as well. People were completely absorbedas to what is going to happen now (when Harry said Ron must destroy the Horcruxwith the sword and Ron felt that he can’t) and those people (again, who didn’tread the novel) were focusing on the screen so tensely, that for a moment, Ithought that J. K. Rowling’s virtual world is definitely coinciding with ours.
·        Atthis point, things got a little hot when evil Harry and Hermione startedkissing in front of Ron after breaking every thread of self-respect of hissoul. But there was one thing strange! When scenes like these happen, people usuallyscream and whistle a lot. But when this scene was happening, everyone washolding their breath and Ron finally overcame that nightmare (after constantshouting of Harry to kill that Horcrux) and killed that filthy part ofVoldemort’s soul for good. To my surprise, everyone was clapping as if they(our wizards) could hear them cheering.
·        Thatscene became so hot because of Emma Watson. When I pictured that scene as I wasgoing through the novel, I could picture Emma (because of these movies) butcouldn’t believe that she could look this beautiful and evil at the same time.I want to use that special word, but I am afraid I can’t.
·        WhenHarry called out Hermione and she saw Ron, it was the most amazing moment inthe whole movie. People were laughing as to what happened next and everyone wasjust smiling after that.
·        Asthe movie was progressing further, everyone was just hoping to keep going.Nobody knew the exact timing (nobody cared for that license screen) so theywere just praying for a little more.
·        Scenesat Malfoy’s manor were too exciting to get out of them. One of the mosttroublesome and I-want-to-kill-her moment came when tears rolled out fromHermione’s eyes with her left hand stretched out and there it was, carved outof her flesh ‘MUDBLOOD’. I don’t know about others at this point, but Idefinitely wanted to kill that Ballatrix and I was too damn happy for Ron’sreaction on Hermione’s tears.
·        Well,it did come to an end, no matter how much everyone prayed. Dobby, the houseelse, kept saying that he was happy to have such good friends and Harry kept askingHermione for help and I still wonder (even when I was reading novel), whycouldn’t she do anything. Was that blade cursed or something? But he died andthey had to move on.
·        Anyway,everyone enjoyed the movie and kept talking about it (including myself) andwhat’s going to happen next.
·        Peoplewho have read the novel (like me) do know what’s going to happen next. However,if our imagination were so wonderful, I don’t think that they would be makingHarry Potter movies from the very start.
·        Andthere is one more point. I still want to see Ron and Hermione kiss each other. Boydo I sound like a pervert?! Nope! I am just a hopeless romantic, you know,right?

Harry Potter vs. Lord Voldemort aka Tom Morvolo Riddle

October 4, 2009 Leave a Comment



Harry Potter and Friends

Hi, I want to share all fights between harry potter &lord Voldemort. 
So, here we go:
1. Harry defeatedVoldemort two times in this part.
i. when he was only ayear old, Voldemort came to kill him, for he was thinking that harry potter wasthe boy of prophecy.
He could find Potter’s secret hideout because their friendPeter Pettigrew betrayed them.
This fight can be called between Avada Kedavra and AMother’s Love Charm.
Harry survived with a curse mark on his forehead, butVoldemort could barely survive from his own curse attack.

ii. This happened when1st part was about to end, Voldemort had to borrow Prof. Quirrell’sbody to survive and he wanted ‘The Sorcerer’s Stone’, which would make himimmortal (in the sense of a long life and not full immortality).
 
When he attacked on Harry without the help of any wand, Harrytried to stop his hands and he came to know that Voldemort wasn’t able to bearHarry’s touch.
It turned out that due to his mother’s love and care, thecharm still held the power to protect him and that’s why Prof. Quirrell’s (aswell as Voldemort’s) body shattered like a statue of dried up mud.
So, this fight can be called between Prof. Quirrell’s physicalassault and The Mother’s Love Charm (again). 
2. In second novel,though we never saw Harry and Voldemort fight for real, the later did fightwith the help of his beast, Basilisk, the giant snake. 
So we can consider this fight between, a brave Gryffindoor’sstudent (that’s why Gryffindoor’s sword came out of the sorting hat) and anevil master of a deadly snake.
Third part did not reflect any fight with Voldemort, neitherdirectly nor indirectly. So I am going to head for 4th novel. 
3. In fourth part, whenall 4 champions, Cedric Diggory, Victor Krum, Fleur Delacour and Harry Potter,were about the complete their last task, i.e. finding the Triwizard cup in aterrifying and deadly maze. 
Barty Crouch Jr., who disguised himself as mad-eye Moody,put spell on the cup and as a result both, Cedric and Harry dissapparated to agraveyard which Harry used to see in his dream.
Cedric was killed instantly by Peter Pettigrew with thekilling curse, later he performed a ritual that would give Voldemort a body andthe power to resist in front of Harry’s mother’s charm.
At last Voldemort proposed a duel and Harry accepted it.Voldemort shot his curse from his wand (Avada Kedavra) and Harry tried todisarm him with his very dependable spell (Expelliarmus).
Green and red lights conflicted with each other and thenHarry saw something that he could never imagine. Out of the middle of thatdestruction, some figures started to come out and they headed for Harry. 
They were his parents and Cedric Diggory. They helped him toescape from there with Cedric’s body.
Though I am saying that Harry ran away, but he did put up agreat fight and since, he was no match for Voldemort and death eaters, it was avictory to escape from there. 
5. In fifth part,Voldemort tried to control Harry’s brain when he came to know that they havesome sort of connection. Harry started to feel anger, even if the matter wastoo small. The anger was not real though, it was actually the true feelings ofVoldemort towards other world. 
Lord Voldemort aka Tom Morvolo Riddle
In the end, Voldemort tried to kill Harry but Prof.Dumbledore saved him and put up a very exciting and brave fight. Voldemortsucceeded in capturing Harry’s brain finally, but Harry resisted the pain andwith the feelings of friendship and love, he defeated Voldemort again.
Those feelings which Voldemort could never understand, evenwhen he was just a child.
So this fight can be considered as between, Voldemort’s mindcontrol power and Harry’s Will of Fire.
So, let me end this article now. Because I still don’t want tospoil the exciting and most interesting fight scene of seventh novel. I didn’ttalk about sixth part because there wasn’t any fight between them.
Sixth part was basically focussed on Voldemort’s past andfinding Horcruxes!! And mostly on Severus Snape because he was, ‘The Half-BloodPrince’. 
6. At last, we mustnot forget the legendary fight between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort in thefinal novel.

Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince Review

July 30, 2009 Leave a Comment

Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince
I am surethat all harry potter fans appreciated this movie like others. But since I amalso a fan of Potter movie series as well as novels, hence I was a littledisappointed when I saw this movie.
Of coursethis movie looked quite promising when the trailers were released but when Isaw it in a theater; I had to say that they made so many cuts and repairs inthe movie version that took out lots of fun from the movie.
I wasexpecting a complete package of suspense and romance in this movie with thrillof magic and revelation of dark side of young Tom Riddle. I enjoyed the movieto a great extent but it was because of the humor and acting of our dearwizards.

I havelisted these ten disappointments of mine. Please feel free to comment andsubmit your own views on this movie so that may be dear director can includemore aspects of seventh novel in next movie. I guess they had to cut so manypretty scenes from novel so that they can focus on the time limit of the movie.
·        Inmovie we were left unanswered about the identity of Half-blood Prince.Obviously in novel it is made clear about how Severus Snape was the Half-BloodPrince.  There was just one smalldialogue from Severus Snape in the end, “I am the Half Blood Prince”, see justthat!
I remember that in every movie everything was made clear for people who didn’tread the novel. Now they can do nothing but going through the novel for thesake of a clear concept for the seventh movie and I guess they will have tolook seventh novel again to make everything fit in every cell of their brain.
·        Lackof spells was the worst part of this movie that I figured. In the novelHalf-Blood Prince had listed several other spells that helped him later on.Like the summoning spell which is used to summon object out of a hideout. LikeDumbledore tried to summon the Horcrux (the locket) out of the cave but failed(this was also edited).  
·        Inthe movie, when Harry visits professor Dumbledore’s memory about young TomRiddle when he was about to know that he was different than others. If only thewarden would have given the statement about how Tom Riddle trapped two childrenin the cave, then it would have helped us to figure out about the possiblelocation of Horcrux in the end which Dumbledore found out of nowhere.
·        Asyou might have seen that Dumbledore and Harry apparated (disappeared) from theTower in the movie.  This was madegenuine by making Dumbledore say that ‘Being Dumbledore has its ownadvantages’. But if we look through the novel again then we will come to knowthat Dumbledore and Harry had to walk out of the boundaries of Hogwarts tosuccessfully disappear.
·        Iwas most disappointed to know that there was no appearance of Dark Lord in themovie. But seventh movie will make it better. Because it is full of adventureand suspense and magic unlike this one. I just hope that they don’t edit thenext one too much.
·        Harryand Dumbledore had to return to the Tower on brooms because after drinking thatpoisonous potion in the cave and using too much magic to create the escapefire, Dumbledore became so weak that he could only disappear him and Harrycrashing in a shop. 
·        Dumbledorehad to stun Harry with a spell to not to let him interfere. But in the movieDumbledore ordered him to stay silent.
·        Theydidn’t tell about the reason behind the full name of Tom Riddle which wasactually Tom Marvolo Riddle. Tom Riddle was the name of his muggle father andMarvolo was the name of his mother’s father (a wizard).
·        Ireally wish that they would have shown Prof. Dumbledore’s funeral where eachand every wizard was gathered.
There weremore changes and edited features of novel in this movie. But what makes itworse is the feeling that they didn’t make it clear about how Snape was thehalf-blood prince. After all, the movie’s name was The Half Blood Prince and ifyou don’t clear its meaning then what’s the point of naming it like that. Obviouslymany of us know it already because we have read the novel. But I am telling youfriends, everyone is not a novel-lover.
I don’twant to be a Potter critic because I really want to see the seventh movie, butnot like this one which was heavily edited. Why can’t they make it to run 2 hrsand 30 minutes which was an idol runtime for this movie and will be for thenext movie?
But I mustsay that there were some lovely scenes in this movie. I can always remember thehospital scene, when Ron mutters Hermione’s name and she blushes and holds hishand. The look in Lavender Brown’s eyes was priceless.
All in all,the movie was humorous, romantic and lovely in many parts and little bitmagical in some parts.
So dearfriends, I wrote this article to learn from your would be comments that what Ifeel was correct or not. So I am saying it again. Please do comment.
