Review of Harry Potter 6
Some Cedit goes to Wikipedia/Rotten Tomatoes
Someone at Warner Brothers must have used a charm spell on the members of the MPAA in order to secure a PG rating for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood
The movie begins with a bang, as Lord Voldemort’s henchmen, the Death Eaters, are officially out of hiding and abducting persons of interest, wreaking havoc for wizards and Muggles alike. Once at school, however, Voldemort is the last thing on the mind of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe). He has to deal with his growing feelings for Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright), the little sister of his best friend Ron (Rupert Grint). He also has to diffuse the simmering tension between Ron and Hermoine Granger (Emma Watson), since Ron is too busy “snogging” new girlfriend Lavender Brown to realize that Hermoine is his for the taking. Harry also can’t help noticing that his longtime rival Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) is acting odder than usual, and Professor Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) is by Draco’s side seemingly at all times. But Professor Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) tries to get Harry to focus on the memories he’s collected of the pre-Dark Side Voldemort, when he was called Tom Riddle, as they contain a clue to Voldemort’s seeming invulnerability. Harry, however, can’t help but wonder if the potions book he just inherited, which previously belonged to “The Half-Blood
With all due respect to Michael Goldenberg, the screenwriter that adapted “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” the return of Steve Kloves to the writer’s chair (he had adapted the first four “Potter” films) was an essential move. Kloves doesn’t just give the actors good lines – he gives them personalities, and the child actors, at long last, get to breathe some life into their roles. Director David Yates seems more comfortable this time around as well, staging a couple of fantastic fight sequences, the best looking Quidditch match to date, and even goes Roland Emmerich on a walkway over the Thames. The kids still need to work on their enunciation, but the dialogue isn’t nearly as unintelligible as it was the last time around.
“Half-Blood Prince” also sports the largest cast of any “Potter” movie to date, but unlike the revolving-door-of-dialogue approach of “Phoenix,” everyone gets their chance to shine here. Even the long-forsaken Minerva McGonagall (Maggie Smith) gets a good laugh at the expense of Harry and Ron, and Rickman wrings every ounce of dark humor out of Snape. The newest English thespian to join the troop is Jim Broadbent, who makes potions teacher Horace Slughorn quite likable despite his tendency to milk his students’ celebrity for all it’s worth (which makes him very interested in Harry, naturally). And then there’s Evanna Lynch, whose daffy Luna Lovegood steals every scene she’s in. Wisely, Kloves does not overuse her, though we can see where he would be tempted to do so. She just oozes funny.
Again, don’t let that PG rating fool you; this is going to freak some young kids out, not to mention the game-changing death scene in the movie’s climax. The rating, after all, does stand for “Parental Guidance suggested,” so I urge parents to do just that. Having said that, anyone mature enough to handle “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” should see it. These wizards and witches have never seemed so human, which is as nice a compliment as one can pay a fantasy movie.
Jans Overall rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars, or 9/10

1 + 1 = 0?
1 + 1:
= 1 + sqrt (1)
= 1 + sqrt [(-1)(-1)]
= 1 + sqrt (-1) x sqrt (-1)
= 1 + i x i
= 1 + (-1)
= 1 - 1
= 0
From this demonstration, it would appear that 1+1=0.
Right?
Right!
...right?
Well, we know it's wrong. Let's find the mistake. 1+1 obviously equals 1 + sqrt (1), so no problem yet. The next is also correct, seeing as (-1)(-1) equals 1. Here is the mistake, however:
When imgaining what sqrt(-1) could be, we come to the conclusion of terming it 'i' (for imaginary) in replacement of a better term or solution. Therefore, 1 + sqrt[(-1)(-1)] DOES NOT facilitate i^2 because no longer do we use the variable i since the expression can be SIMPLIFIED. Instead, we simplify (-1)(-1) and get 1, not i^2. Becuase simplifying the expression (-1)(-1) yields the product of 1 instead of -1, we continue to solve 1 + 1 = 1 + 1, getting the result: 2 = 2, the solution. Problem solved.
The mistake lies here:
= 1 + sqrt (-1) x sqrt (-1)
We don't need to separate the sqrt because the parenthases can be solved first (as provided by the order of operations.)
Did you understand why it is wrong? Hope you did! Post your thoughts in a comment.
P.S. do you want me to do more maths posts like this one? I could do one about 2+2=5...
LOL

I also have a test blog in which I test out new templates that I design. I am now attempting to figure out how to remove all sidebars, so I will post the blog's url if anyone wants to see.
