It's a well made, polished film and all the cast are fine but the writing and the plot were pretty messy. I didn't have a clue what was going on half of the time.

It was too complex for children and there are some quite dark themes but the bits with the animals were too childish for adults.

Saying that it was still quite enjoyable and hopefully the next one will be better now the main characters and this pre-Potter world has been established.
