This movie was an utter disappointment. My thought process is that fans of the Harry Potter will blame the director for the film being poor and choppy when really the issue was the writing in general. While the film has a plethora of good to great actors the characters they are portraying don't show much depth and even less sense to some of their decision making. Plus Harry Potter lore was tossed out the window by Rowling when she was writing this script so don't bother with trying to understand that. The very worst part of this film was the big twist she threw in to make the audience :gasp: except if you know anything about the lore and have watched alot of movies in your life you will just roll your eyes at how unoriginal and cliche it is. People may claim this was a movie to bridge the entire franchise for things to come in future films but it failed spectacularly. It honestly makes me question if Rowling even wrote the first film.
