The magic and wonder is ever present

Rating: 8/10 (14 November 2018)

This is it, what we all wanted a Wizarding world film script written by J. K. Rowling herself.
The Harry Potter movies never had chance considering the source material being immensely dense and detailed, a lot was lost, but here you don't feel anything is sacrificed to make space for more "important" stuff to receive time on screen.
The best part is the writing, it has the amazing style Rowling utilises in her books, the false antagonists all the way to the big reveal.
The computer generated images are everywhere and it is a given but they are of such a high quality that you don't feel like they are fake, they look perfect.
Even to the smallest details.
The sound and music is well done, of course the Hedwig's theme is not the main theme anymore, but we get small cameos of it, however the music does not seem to have a specific distinct theme and is more of the samey bombastic orchestral piece that have become so common in movies in the recent years.
But the sound is amazing and detailed, from the faintest tick tock of a clock to bigger explosions it is well done and clear.
The acting leaves nothing to be desired, of course we have some of the biggest male actor names in the world here, Colin Farrell, Eddie Redmayne, Johnny Depp but the best duo on screen after so many years of bland duos got to be Dan Fogler and Alison Sudol.
These two along with all the amazing creatures make this movie shine bright and beautiful.
I found myself liking this film more than any of the Harry Potter films which is amazing considering how much I love Potter books.
My score for this amazing start to an intriguing adventure is 8 out of 10.
Only if the music was better and the lead female was more fleshed out.
