Just wanted to say, J.K. Rowling is a genius. No spoilers, but, let's just say that she knows how to mine dysfunction in the human condition and address these issues in her magical world. I definitely see another Harry Potter like series coming out of this one.
First, yes, it started slow, and I blame it on the American accents. LOL! It was all too familiar 1920ish era until we finally found that portal that took us to another world and then the movie escalated to a crescendo ending.
Maybe because they did take the time to develop the characters in the beginning, I really liked them all by the time we reached the end. Hope we see more of the muggle who was inadvertently drawn into the wizarding world. And definitely hope to see that American Wizarding school that they kept talking about.
