Not bad for a movie that has to carry water towards the end of a long, involved story arc but of course you can only understand it if you’ve seen the previous five Potters. Probably makes more sense if you’ve read the books too since director David Yates and writer Steve Kloves (who wrote all the scripts except Order of the Phoenix) have thrown in many bits of Rowling’s huge oevre but still struggled to convey what’s necessary even with 150 minutes of screen time. Core cast have grown as actors before our eyes, cannot complain about them, and the SFX are better too.
