I don't know if it was because my film had a high bar to hit, in terms of being part of the Potter world or just my own hopes for the film. But I was a bit disappointed, the creatures were amazing and it was wonderful to see more of them than in the up movies, however the story line was a bit weak and predictable in places and I feel the movies as they continue will move too far away from the creatures and more on a pre hp history lesson
