Surprised Harry Potter based series isn't more popular in here.
Anyway, Ezra Miller came to the premier on the goth bubble dress tip.

I think the main series is pretty popular w/ TFR...as for this spin off...eh...

the first flick was alright...this one looks okay...I'll peep, of course but I can't say I'm hyped or anything.

It's RT score is looking shaky to. I was never into Harry Potter personally. Never peeped one movie.

This was a mess! Information dumps all over the place. And a lot of it didn't make sense and fukked up what the HP books established. Also character development was destroyed. Especially one character in particular, whose actions made no damn sense. There were moments where you could see the kind of movie it could have been, but overall, this was the worst entry in the entire wizarding world franchise. I might not see the next one. J.K. Rowling fukking up her legacy. She better think hard before moving forward.

I'd give this a 3 1/2. The only great thing I can say is there was a lot of black folks. I just wish we had a better wizarding film to shine in.

I saw one review say there was a lot of Black folks but they were tokens with roles of no consequence. What do you think?

Hmm, so Leta LeStrange definitely had a pivotal role in this film, but she was sort of a pawn in the grand scheme of things. The brotha was definitely disposable, and there was a whole white man rapes black woman subplot that didn't sit well with me. Then you have the Asian woman who ends up becoming Nagini, which is really fukked up if you think about her being owned by Voldemort. So yeah. It's like if you're black in J.K. Rowlings movies and books, you're a plot device, and usually a negative one. It's sad because she think she's being progressive. Ugh, the more I think about it, the more annoyed it makes me.

Yeah, the reviewer was like she acts all woke on twitter but does token shyt in her movies. She needs to clean that up going forward.

Ron Weasley owned Peter Pettigrew for years.

Ron Weasley owned Peter Pettigrew for years.

Good point. Although, I think it has different implications when you think about Peter Pettigrew willingly became a rat to hide and was in the care of an innocent boy. The way they set up Nagini, she's obviously had a fukked up life and will transform into a snake because of some degenerative condition. Then there's the whole racial thing. I don't know. It's kinda messed up. Plus, I'm just kinda tired of JKR making up new shyt about old stuff she wrote, whether it fits or not.

I'm going to leave see this on Saturday morning and I hope it will not be disappointed
