I found myself at the cinema again today. I saw Crimes of Grindelwald. I came away ambivalent.

I'm an old-school HP fan, reading all seven books multiple times, and seeing the movies over and over. I am a true fan.

Those movies were kept on track, on plot, by the JKR canon -- there were books loved by millions and the author insisted that Hollywood not waiver away.

But this series, written in screenplay, is allowed to exist more for bigger and better special effects than for the plot (as always good vs. evil, if you look closely beyond the explosions to see it).

I give it three 'Meh'...

But hey, I went to the mall and saw some people.
