I came to this having not watched all of Harry Potter so was pleasantly surprised that my lack of previous knowledge didn't prohibit my understanding of the plot.

I can also understand why it was set in New York , it opens up a whole new chapter(s) for its biggest market and this has already recouped it's $180m budget. The CGI and recreation of late 1920s NYC was amazing .

Great cast and a beautiful love story between Jacob and Queenie . Colin Farrell's was excellent and he the wittiest line 'put down those wands' interesting cameo in there too .

Overall this was a good film , thoroughly entertaining , 7.5/10 not quite an 8/10 with the love interest between Jacob and Queenie the unexpected added bonus particularly after the negative line 'who would marry him'

Enjoy
