I love this franchise. I used to dream of going to Hogwarts in the Belarusian swamps and fighting Dementors with an oak wand made of beaver hair. But, alas, he turned out to be a Muggle, with the fate of just looking through a fogged-up window pane at a ball he didn't get to.
Now for this sequel to the potential for an interesting story - the rise and fall of Green de Wald.
The first series was beautiful and naive-good. For a sour cream cocoa, it was just right.
What was in the second series probably no one understood and there is no point in talking about the second series.
Series three. Well, we now know for sure that Dumbledore is a gay overgrown man who is traumatized by a failed love affair. Apparently he's passive and that's why he's so sad and miserable. It's good that at least by the time Potter was born his libido had apparently dropped to zero and we were deprived of the horror of watching the moral torment of an elderly homosexual. By the way, I'm okay with minority rights in general.
The scene of the sadness of Green de Wald's rejected girlfriend didn't make me personally cringe. It is disgusting in its absurdity. Such is the eternal love of a masochist with a stick.
But we move on.
And here the whole horror is that further nothing is clear - why these people are here. Why are they here, why all these ridiculous actions - because the eagles (I hope they understand) could have just flown to the end with that stunted magic deer in the ...empty world, but no, we must as Potter doubles multiply the suitcases. Aw... one schoolgirl was carrying a tent and stuff in her purse - an invisible expansion spell and everything would fit in a jeans pocket. Didn't anyone read about the reverse potion either?
And this dull ceremony of choosing who? Why? 50 tourists led by a stunted reindeer determine the magical politics of the world? What's the point of all this? Oh, the deer is dead - zero emotion - because they showed a live deer right away. Green de Wald held firm when the deception was revealed. He held firm the whole movie, like a dummy pulling himself back and forth... trying to poison somebody with wine. Are you serious? You're wearing a glass of poisoned wine in front of the whole restaurant?
Dynamic cheesy prison scene with crabs and a kraken inside. Whoever told the filmmakers that everyone is just sick of these scenes. For one reason - the good ones will always win, and there's no strength to watch this dumbassery.
But the main problem is, why wasn't Dumbledore invited to the engagement-wedding? Is it because he's a single gay man? I would ask that question if I were the progressive community.
And another thing - the bad guy has an army of wizard dowsers, and the good ones, like in the last ST trilogy, have a bunch of some uber-lovers.
Who do something there for something there, but it makes us neither warm nor cold.
