Potter fans 'unhappy with screening'
Fans of Harry Potter have reportedly been left disappointed at a test screening of the latest movie in the series.

According to The Sun, some viewers claimed that additional scenes inserted into Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince were "pointless".

One said: "The film is dominated by romance - Ron with Lavender Brown, Ginny with Dean Thomas, Hermione's growing love for Ron, Ron's potion-affected desire for Romilda Vane, and ultimately Harry and Ginny."

Another said: "Anyone who has read the book will be severely disappointed."

Fans were also said to be unhappy at the removal of a number of supposedly important memory scenes involving Potter and the alleged mistreatment of the death of a major character.

A viewer at a US screening said: "The last third of this movie is so incredibly mishandled, the death feels more like an unfortunate accident than genuine tragedy."

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince is released in the UK on July 17.
