Posted my short review in the M&E movies thread, reposted here, no spoilers just a general overview.

This one is about the easiest review ill ever have to do.

If you love the franchise of HP and the extended universe you will love this. Its a rich interwoven story with some little easter eggs for fans, wonderful characters and good performances (including some really nice return to form of Depp and Law).

If you don't love the franchise this will be either a nothing film (its the 2nd in a 5 part franchise and whilst there is character progression there is no real resolution to the story) or a real slog (there is a lot of canon that either requires or is benefitted by a knowledge of the universe).

If you are a real die hard, fanatical Potter head this will frustrate you as there do seem to be some serious Wizarding World history revisions and inconsistencies.

Personally, loved it, Redmayne is quirky and relatable as a protagonist (Newt is arguably more enjoyable as a character than Harry and Redmayne is pretty clearly a more seasoned and talented actor than Daniel Radcliffe, especially from the earlier Potter films). The "world" that has been created is visually and creatively stunning and Depps Grindlewald is much more easily relatable as a charismatic villain to me (and im a slytherin in Pottermore anyway).

8.5/10
 
I've joked before that nothing says Christmas like a new edition of HP, there are 56 of them out this year and I'm not alone in thinking it's all going a bit too far.

Harry Potter was the first book I ever read. I was eight and amazed by the fact I had read more than 200 pages without any illustration in a single day. I have been a superfan ever since. At the age of 13, I became a volunteer at Brazilian fan site Potterish. Now I am editor-in-chief and last year I was invited to visit the set of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald – a dream I never imagined could be possible.

But even I can no longer bear the over-publishing of Harry Potter books. There has been a constant stream of new editions and tie-ins that add nothing more than weight to my bookshelf, and money to the publishers’ pockets. And it’s a lot of money – Potter books sent Bloomsbury’s revenue to £161.5m last year, the highest level in its 32-year-history.

You can hit Mebby up for a badge then :thumbsu:

Theres also a long quiz in the OP for the real fruitcakes if you are so inclined.
If I don’t end up in Gryffindor, with a Gryffindor name and a Gryffindor boggart that I can belt the crap out of then this s**t is make believe.

So link three is “The deaths of my loved ones” which doesn’t surprise me and I find a touch disturbing.

I can’t get past select m/f on link two and to be honest I am not sure that I’m prepared to go any further.

If you want me to give away personal information listen very carefully:

I know these stories better than almost all of you. This is documented.

I am Gryffindor.

I am smart and brave and honest and if I am forced to do so to protect those weaker than me I will kill or die without hesitation. Real world.

I’m not going any further with this to get a badge.

That alone should be enough to tell you that I am Gryffindor.

Not really sure where this is, Death of my loved ones? All I can see is a sorting hat.
