It was a fun film and appealed to my childhood love of animals and creatures. The characters, setting and story were all pretty compelling, but I do think it was a bit of a mess plotwise, in the standard 'trying too hard to fit in every trope' way. The finale was really lame, but I think HPMOR has spoiled me in how awe-inspiring Harry Potter villains should be.
The music was disappointing, and I was dismayed to see it was by James Newton Howard who I really loved for a while back in the '00s.
I'm curious how the series is going to go, given that I think they're planning 7 films and to include the whole war with Dumbledore and Grindelwald and yet the series is named after a whimsical book about magical creatures?
