I spent the bulk of this movie fantasizing about what Hermoine is going to look like in 3 years. The big “explanation” ending inside the tree house was straight out of The Big Sleep and, no, that isn’t a compliment. The scripting and staging is just awkward here — there’s acres of exposition. I won’t get fooled again, this is the last time I waste energy or money on another Harry Potter movie, especially at two and a half freaking hours!
