Just goes to show you, JK Rowlings only talent was turning an already existing concept (halloween/witches) into money. And that dead horse has taken about as much of a beating as it can. The film was boring. I had to try and watch it three times before I was able to finish. It felt like she was just making things up as she goes without actually thinking too hard about it. She was just desperate to connect anything she could to the original series. Continuity matters but I don't think she cares.
