The task of relentlessly reminding the public that big time blockbuster franchises are largely hollow cash grabs with no artistic merit or longevity is a thankless task. The fans of such films, unable to process any kind of criticism through the thick patina of their decade long idolatry for Harry Potter (often bought at a heavy price), are bound to respond to the slightest dissent with overly vitriolic teeth.
I imagine this is because, if said fans were truly to reflect on how much money they had wasted on this nonsense, they would be forced to lament and possibly immolate themselves. There is little that can be done for such people. For the rest of us, however, a gentle reminder once a year that the Potter films are definitely *not* worth seeing under any circumstances is welcome.
I offer you this caveat now: avoid this new Harry Potter film at all costs.
Potter haters take heart. No doubt something just as awful will materialize in the near future, but at least this particular exercise in abject stupidity is almost at an end.
