@Memor-X My impression is people were pretty pissed off about the ending.

Memor-X

@M.A.R. plot wise like the decision a certain character made or just how it implies there's going to be a continuation

shrug I know very little about Potterverse.

I think post 2016 people only tolerate sequel parade with Marvel.

Other franchises trying to copy Marvel's success have failed in the Box Office and the reviews more than they should have.

@Memor-X From a movie watching standpoint, it's a good movie - I liked it. I'm don't like the retconning of Nagini, and certain things like that, but otherwise it's decent.

I'm just not sure I'll see the next ones because of JKR.

@Mithical i kept forgetting that she was supposed to be Nagini and by the end of the film i figured that if they don't show Tom Riddle then it's probably another dumb plot point like the Lestrange thing

and maybe also admitting that Dumbledore's name isn't enough to draw people in

@Mithical i figure regardless how i feel about her views she's gotten her money either way so i'd see it just for the character actors. though getting harder now after WB fired Depp because he lost the deformation case

though apparently they are bring in Mads Mikkelsen in to replace him. at the very least Newt Scamander still has the same actor

Q: What is this scene from: A skyscraper, the door in the corridor opens and the room beyond has gone

It's a vague memory. The door in the corridor is closed. Some lights are seen flashing around it. When they open the door, there is nothing there other than sky. The skyscraper beyond the door has collapsed. It was 2012, or San Andreas or something like that.
