Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, half human-half vampire, a guardian of the Moroi, peaceful, mortal vampires living discreetly within our world. Her calling is to protect the Moroi from bloodthirsty, immortal Vampires, the Strigoi. Action,Comedy,Drama What I liked: They stayed true to the book They added a few extra action scenes What I didn't like: The movie was Incredibly rushed! It's like they didn't know how to close a scene properly. They just jumped from one scene thru the next. Too much DRAMA-I know that they are in high school & even in the book there's a lot of drama, but it was so exaggerated. I felt like it was so rushed that I didn't get to know the characters, and sometimes I felt like the actors didn't know the characters well either.
