Better late than never but it doesn't feel like I missed out on much.

Rating: 4/10 (22 August 2018)

Not much to say really. Rather boring in general and containing lots of plot inconsistencies. I think the most disappointing thing is the magic or lack thereof I should say. Specifically when it comes to combat at least. I like all the trinkets and some of the spells are quite interesting but when it comes to fighting it's as plain as Hovis white bread. This is a magical world with limitless potential (to a degree) and there isn't a whole lot of creativity at all. It's basically as if they're all firing little magical crackers that knock people out. The worst offender was that chase scene through the forest, which was almost made me sick with its horrific camera shaking and random crackers being launch at trees. The deathly hallows items felt very tacked on but I assume that will be explored further in part 2.
The acting was not that great. Most of the cast was bordering on cheesy/bad, only some of the adults were more passable. The style might have fit better earlier on when it was more school time fun but this is becoming too serious for it to work. For me, the worst offence was how the mysteries were being unravelled without any work. There was a trend of cutting to a new location and having Hermione or Harry very conveniently happen upon a new clue that was sort of explained by some magical reasoning if we were given anything at all.
Overall can't say I hated it but I did start checking Reddit so you could say I was underwhelmed. I've heard Part 2 is much better so I'm hoping for quite the turnaround.
