David Yates took it too far with the newly released Half-Blood Prince movie. In fact, in addition to signing this petition to petition David Yate's crappyness, you hereby agree that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince shall be renamed Harry Potter and the Dark Knight.
This petition is about:
David Yates and his continual ruining of the franchise
David Yates and his 'artistic' (read: unnecessary) changes to the franchise
Overall crappyness of the movies
These are general problems that took Half-Blood Prince into a general aura of crappyness:
- Artistic direction. I was not the first to say "Wtf?" in my theater. Somehow David Yates' 'artistic' direction left there to be a completely different style of direction (hence HP and the Dark Knight.) and a color palette with the only color being 'none with a tinge of green'. Why did all the spells seem to be the same color (a misty chrome blue)? Hell, did Avada Kedavra even have any green? This leads to my next point:
- The WHOLE ALLURE of the Harry Potter franchise is MAGIC! Was it just me or did Hogwarts seem empty and devoid of ANY magic? There were no moving portraits (Dumbledore's only moved slightly because it was actually focused on), no moving staircases, and no ghosts, just to name a few?
- Missing crucial plot elements. There were only three memories (two, if you count the tampered and untampered ones as the same), yet others explain part of the mystery behind Voldemort's past and horcruxes. An attack on the Burrow? Why was this necessary? To represent all the attacks by Death Eaters against the wizard community? In the books, Harry finds about multiple occurrences of this second-hand. I understand it needed to be cut down, but why couldn't the attack on Diagon Alley stand for such a thing? Or even, why couldn't a fellow student just mention it to Harry after reading it in the Daily Prophet? If you're answer to my question was "They added it in to show the relationship between Harry and Ginny.", here is a response: They did that in the book without an unnecessary attack on the Burrow. Not to mention Harry Potter is not about teen love, it's about Harry Potter and his journey. Also, what happened to the Battle of the Lightning Struck Tower? According to the producers it was left out because they "didn't want it to get repetitive for the battle in the final film". Er, what? The two battles are completely different and each serve different purposes to the storyline. Goes to show that the guys behind this movie have no creativity at all. Last but not least, where was the funeral? Without it, Dumbledore's death was completely unemotional. The book actually made you feel for it; the movie, however, does not. How about we cut most of the awkward teen love scenes and create a worthy adaption, David Yates?
No, HBP wasn't terrible, not in the slightest. To book fans, though, we left the theater being disappointed.

- And he totally ruined Snape's character, who hasn't read the book but watched the movie is 100\% sure Dumbledore asked him to kill him. And why there's so much hermione and ron? and why did he change harry and ginny? they should have a normal relationship, and should break up... and all the memories... oh my God I'm so disappointed!! This was my favorite book!! And ITS JUST NOT THERE!!!

- As I sat and watched the mess that made up HBP my expression turned from one of pure excitement to confusion, and then dissapointment, and then finally to anger. I can't believe that Yates had the audacity to call that horrid movie Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince when he had sucked all of the things that made the book one of the best out. It was truly horrible and my only dream for the series at this point is that they are remade by someone who has actually had the decency to read it.

- David Yates is TERRIBLE. Way to take out the most crucial battle and replace it with one that never even happened. Way to kill the movie for people that actually read the books...

- You people don't know what you're doing here. David Yates has killed himself. Not the one you are talking about, but David Yates of Pembroke Ontario. He has a beautiful wife and two children, 3 and 5. A whole community has been devestated, You have caused this!!! The bible says that your words are powerful. By His WORD God created the world. Let there be light he spoke and it was so. Noah SAID his son would be cursed to serve his brothers forever, and every generation was a servant until the war of 1812. Our words ARE powerful! Matthew 12:36 says, "men will have to give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquited, and by your words you will be condemned." God created us in his image, and the spiritual realm around us is very real. You have done a terrible thing here.

- He butchered the Harry Potter franchise, we must use the Avada Kedavra Curse on him. Apparently you don't need to actually say it like it was in the book.
