To begin with, I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and I think J. K. Rowling is a fantastic writer without a doubt. The trailers for this film were fantastic and it made me want to see the film from the outset but...

The film in itself lacked in substance and plot and in my opinion ended up being a filler between the already released first instalment and the due to release third instalment. The continuation of the previous plot wasn't a bad choice but the execution was sloppy and it made the new characters so detached from the film and forgettable. By no means was the film terrible but it seems to be more of a necessary timeline filler than a great film.

My only hope is that the third instalment brings back what the first film introduced as the scene is now set and I'm personally waiting for the redemption of the series to come and blow everyone away.

7/10
