Tips

1: It is not a harry potter movie. Yes it takes place in the same universe but both the characters, the tone, the magic and the structure is completely different. So don't think that you gonna see a Harry Potter movie if so you gonna be disappointed.

2: don't expect a strong story with a clear goal. This movie is more like. One thing happened their and one thing happened then. The only plot this movie have is what you already have read.

3: This movie have some slow parts. But i can sure you you can always expecting you that things will happened again.

Thoughts

I think it was a movie a bit better than i thought(though I did'nt have high expectation about it). It has great characters and a CGI that is mostly good. Mos of the time it feels like magic that happens and not CGI and the beasts felt real. It had some really clever references to the Harry Potter universe and no one of them makes the original story less good. It had great characters and a very original screenplay. But the screenplay is also what i dislike most in the movie. I like to see movie as one combined story that all makes sense together which is something this movie does'nt have. It also have some really stupid parts like some of the jokes.

Overall I would say this movie is as good as the other Harry Potter movies. Some I like better some I like less. The 8 i give this movie is a really weak 8.
