A Familiar Scene

WB just released this high-res shot from the upcoming Half-Blood Prince film.



This feels so familiar. I know it's a new image, but we are starting to see David Yates' visual stamp on things. Scene upon scene, especially the emotional ones, we see Harry in the forefront, staring off into the frightening future, Hermione a few steps behind, an overly concerned, and frankly, patronizing look on her face, and Ron far in the background, looking disinterested as hell. This arrangement comes up a few times in Yates' Order of the Phoenix, and I think we can expect more of it in the next three films.

Honestly, I miss the spirit of the Chris Columbus flicks, where Ron was book Ron, and Hermione was book Hermione.

Sounding like one of those book purists now. Scaring self. Signing out.
