Many fans have expressed distaste in the fact that Harry is shown at a train station, saying it would make more sense for him to be at the Dursley's. This is actually a nod to the book because Harry said he liked riding trains, that it "helped him take his mind off things."

Quidditch at Hogwarts makes a grand (and much publicized) return, after being completely absent since Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005). A full game of Quidditch has in fact not been featured since Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002).

Goofs
Near the end of the film, when Harry is lying on the ground outside Hagrid's cabin, Snape kicks Harry's wand away from his hand. When he does so, a square of neon tape is clearly seen, almost right in the middle of the shot, where Harry's wand was placed, so that actor Alan Rickman would know where to kick.

When Harry first has the Half Blood Prince's potions book, his signature is in the front of the book. When Ginny takes it from him, she reads his signature from the back. However, the book may have been signed at the back and the front as later in the film we see the words written in two different styles suggesting multiple instances.

According to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, you need to know the purpose of the Room of Requirement to be able to access it. Harry and Ginny were looking for a place to hide the book, so the Room allowed them access.

Q
Is "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" based on a book?
A
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2005) is the sixth book of the Harry Potter series written by British author J.K. Rowling. The novel was adapted for the screen by American screenwriter Steve Kloves. It was preceded by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) and followed by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011).
Q
If Dumbledore never showed memories of or talked with Harry about the remaining Horcruxes, how will he know what to look for in the next two films?
A
The obvious answer to this question is of course to watch The Deathly Hallows Parts I and II. For those who have not (yet) seen the movies: keep in mind that, in adapting the books to movies, the screenwriters have shown to be quite adept in bypassing entire parts from the book, while still passing essential information in creative ways. Good example is the omission of the character Dobby from each book since The Prisoner of Azkaban; Dobby's main purpose in the books is to relay important information, which is done in other ways in the movies. It did take some deviations from the book, as David Yates said that some of the events of the seventh and eighth film had an effect on the way the sixth film was written. This may refer to the lack of information Harry has, about the four remaining Horcruxes. For those who wish to get a few hints, there are a couple of developments that enable Harry to find and locate the remaining Horcruxes: (1) Through a chance encounter, Harry eventually finds out that Bellatrix Lestrange is extremely worried that her vault at Gringotts bank has been breached. With the help of Griphook the Goblin, who works at Gringotts bank, he deduces that this worries her, because a Horcrux is also stored there and she is afraid it was also stolen. (2) Harry's telepathic connection to Lord Voldemort still works. When the Dark Lord is worrying about one of his soul fragments, Harry may be able to see these thoughts. (3) The dark magic from the Horcruxes leaves traces that enable Harry to identify them.
Q
How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?
A
For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie.
