Steve Greydanus Reviews the Latest Harry Potter film 2014-12-31T14:39:46-07:00

His basic take: Meh.

I reckon he’s right that the films will make more sense if you’ve read the books–and that this is not a sign of good filmmaking.  I was a bit lost for a few moments, but mostly tracked the story, which was largely faithful.

The normal back and forth between fan and critic happens in the comboxes, with only a couple of people saying dumb things about how eeeeeeevil and occult the books are and condemning Steve for soiling his Catholic purity by deigning to review it.  Mostly the conversation is rewarding.  My favorite comment: “Greydanus is an AWESOME wizard name, dude!”

Y’know, he’s right!
