Now we know what happens when a successful author with too much money tries to write something just to become more relevant. Gone are the charm, gone is the subtlety, gone is any thing that makes us care about the characters. It is fascinating to me that after watching this movie, the only character I have any interest in is the non-witch.

Instead of a story filled with innovative and interesting situations and characters, we get Godzilla style special effects, which are great to look at but don't mean much, and rewrites of characters like Dumbledore (whose role in the movie seems to be to make a gay rights statement instead of moving the plot forward) and Grindelwald who's extreme character makes him reminiscent of Beetlejuice not the person we read about in the Harry Potter Series.

This will most likely be my last J.K. Rowling venture. I long for the days when she wrote as if she were still hungry to have people read her books instead of the obvious pandering and contempt she displays toward her fans, whom she assumes will buy whatever she puts her name to, regardless of how good it really is.

While this has happened in the short term, I predict that viewers will begin to wake up and realize that this really was not a very good movie.
