A dash of STAR WARS flavored with a dash of Harry Potter

Rating: 7/10 (29 March 2017)

This film of a JD Rowling novels spins some elements of her HARRY POTTER series and some of the well known STAR WARS movie series. Set in New York City between the world wars some quite fascinating travelogues of Manhattan of the era are one of the better aspects of the movie as well as some of the photographic sequences the trademark of STAR WARS and HARRY POTTER. With these fine points in mind the general storyboard and the general editing technique produces a product well below the stratospheric, top of the market standards still associated with STAR WARS and HARRY POTTER. The problem is it has none of the unexpectedly delightful storyline twists and supernatural premise elements which made the previous two series so memorable.
