A little more CGI, please.

Rating: 6/10 (22 November 2019)

I don't mean to disrespect Rowling fans, but one must look at it objectively and realize that, although the CGI in the movie could be viewed as convincing, it was sometimes purposeless.
Nevertheless, my score isn't meant to reflect the demographic this movie hoped to reach, but rather a view that spans into the totality of films.
Does it deserve 7 stars? No. Just look at the scene where the black prison guard speaks in a completely stereotypical manner, almost forced, whereas it seemed that the magic society had transcended ethnic differences which would cause these cultural aspects to develop in the muggle world.
After all, isn't the witch and wizard society born from the Salem witch trials (as explained by Hermione in HP2 or 3)? And not only that, but how little dimension do the characters having shown so little from their past?
In conclusion, and although I haven't read the book, I don't think this movie adapted fully to it, or if it did, the book fell short of the level of detail the HP series offered. Moreover, there was simply too much CGI.
