These films don't have the heart and soul the Harry Potter films did. The sense of awe and wonder is not as evident. Maybe I'm slightly biased, but I'm not the avid fan of the Harry Potter films as I am the books. The books were special. As a reader of the books you could watch the films and appreciate the basic story telling of the films but revel in the knowledge you know secrets and details only to be found in the books. J.K. Rowling has a fantastic imagination and includes many subplots that all tie in to a big finish in the end. It makes for a great book. Unfortunately, not a great movie. I know J.K Rowling is heavily involved in the story telling of these films. I can see the same method she employed when writing the HP books is being used in these films, ie, subplots. Again, it keeps books interesting, but makes for a drawn out, boring film. It's just not working. The characters don't have chemistry, and the focus is being put on a character that I don't see how anyone could find interesting (I refer to Ezra Miller whose characters name I don't remember. My point exactly.) It has been several months now since I've seen this film and can't remember much about it to be honest. Except for Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore. I don't speak for everyone, but I feel confident in saying most of us want more Dumbledore.
