Well executed, but the writing was a bit disjointed

Rating: 5/10 (26 November 2016)

The good: the actors, special effects, music, and all around support did an amazing job. Additionally, Rowling has created an extremely intriguing world, which is shown significantly in this film.
The bad: death is not handled appropriately at all, really by any character. Witnessing a death should be horrifying; hearing of one should inspire reverence; killing should take some visible toll; yet all of this is sort of "eh, whatever" throughout the film. Contrast this with the humor (which was well executed), and it all pulls you out of the experience a bit. If they're doing their job, I shouldn't be left thinking "it's just a movie", yet here I am.
All in all I still enjoyed it and hope to see more from the adult wizarding world, just hope the writing improves to the point where gravity and levity are held in the appropriate regard.
