General Feelings
My feelings are a little bit mixed, but I’m curious. This has been getting rave reviews and Mo’Nique (one of the supporting actresses) won a string of awards for this, including an Oscar. The word that gets thrown around the film a lot is “authentic” and that’s a promising word IMO ;)

General Feelings
I originally spotted this here. But I may as well do it again in my new format ;-P
The first half of the 7th Potter book is my favourite part of the whole story. Besides that, it’s the cast that always gets me very excited about the Potter films - so many awesome British actors, both young and old, in one film will probably never happen again after Potter. And the performances of the young cast have been getting better with every film, which has been very exciting to watch.
I’m sure I’ll be disappointed with parts of it, I always am with every Potter film, but this is obviously unmissable ;)
