“This is my first review on IMDb. I felt compelled to do so after reading Empireu0026#39;s underwhelming 3 Star review (does their opinion count for anything any more?), then going on to watch the movie myself last night.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was excellent. Heart-warming and charming with extremely likable lead characters. The story wasnu0026#39;t too heavy – enough to keep things ticking along – though there were plenty of u0026quot;Easter Eggsu0026quot; and satisfying references to other known HP people u0026amp; places (Grindelwald, Le Strange, Hogwarts, Dumbledore etc)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Special FX were pretty amazing – most of the Magical Creatures were well realized and convincing. There was plenty of humour throughout, while the music….I am not sure if other have mentioned it….but the movieu0026#39;s soundtrack is just as fantastic as those wonderful beasts!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHighly recommended.”
