I decided to celebrate the release of Fantastic Beasts and the Crimes of Grindelwald by making a wand. However, I decided to use an unusual type of wood, that I had to go all the way to the coast to collect… Driftwood.
So… I went to see the movie and while it contained a lot of magical fun, some great effects and some great performances (mainly from Eddie Redmayne and Johnny Depp) it definitely had a lot of problems. There were far too many plots, with a lot of them being not that interesting (baby swapping antics especially). It also suffered from J.K. Rowling desperately trying to connect every possible character to the original Harry Potter Universe which made a lot of things seem unbelievable and silly. If the next film is entirely focussed on Grindelwald and Dumbledore with fun side quests from Newt then it’ll be great.
My rating for The Crimes of Grindelwald = 3 out of 6 Eggs
