The fans were particularly upset that main characters and key plot lines were erased. They also labelled some scenes as "pointless", reports thesun.co.uk.

There also doesn't seem to be much about the Half-Blood Prince himself and the film was dismissed as "soppy".

"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," said one fan.

"Anyone who has read the book will be severely disappointed," another lamented.

In this latest instalment, Harry is taught by Dumbledore to fight his arch nemesis Voldemort. The book features some important memories but the film features just two of these.
