To keep it short and sweet, the fact of the matter is that this doesn't really hold it's own as a movie. It's a Harry Potter Fan's movie more than a Harry Potter movie, this would never survive if it didn't clutch to the remains of the franchise as fan service payoff. I sat down and really gave it some thought and you could seriously cut this entire film down to about 53 minutes there's that much useless filler in it. It's painfully mediocre but if you want a visual spectacle, don't want to think about something and want to watch something new related to something else you already LOVE then I'm sure you'll love this movie.
