Well, I saw it and I enjoyed it. I am hesitant to call it a good movie though. Or even a movie for that matter. At this point I'm just seeing these films as a mini series that they made over the span of 10 years.
The stories just don't really work as a stand alone cinematic entries. So taking it as a film it's not too exiting and there's no momentum. The movie just ends.
Personally I'm fine with it. This is the only filmseries that works like this. Where there's a definitive end point and everything is leading up to it. So I think it's unfair to judge it too harshly. But I can understand people finding it unfulfilling.
The characters, the world and everything are still fun to spend time with. I love the look of this film. The tone is also very nice. I caught a bit of "Chamber of secrets" again, which was on tv the same day. It's so strange to see how this series has matured over the years.
It really doesn't feel like those first films are even part of the same franchise
