My mother turned my daughter onto the books, and my daughter turned me onto the films of this writer. I'm not a huge fan, but I am a follower of sci fi and fantasy film making and it has been by far the most incredible experience I have seen in decades..... I still like the little dinosaur clay figure films. Yet, this film was a bit confusing and out of sorts. If this is the past with the professor D as a young man, and the devastation of the world always threatened from NY to London, how is it, it never came up in the Potter books? With so much happening in the world of JK Rowlings brain, wouldn't you think that these stories would have gotten around long before Potter was even born? or What about Newt, what happened with him, if he was so important before WW2, where is the man when Professor D needed him for that Huge Snake that was roaming and dealing with that evil Tom Riddle. I say this is more than I can deal with. The filming and script writing imagination of the creators are wonderful, and the computer generated animation is by far fantastic, but the stories are weak and unrealistic to the future, which made her mark in the literary guild.
