Mary Catelli I picked up the book rather than the movie. For those who wish to discuss that. . . .

I'm not done yet, but it didn't take long to figure out that this pulled itself free from the orbit of the series better than Cursed Child did.


Mary Catelli Oh, yes, this book has pulled free. There's a connection in that Grindelwald's rampages are going on at the same time -- it opens with Wanted posters -- and Dumbledore is mentioned once, but in a logical location.

the dynamic of the central foursome works particularly well

Ila (radiossilence) Which book? I read the textbook and it was pretty boring. Do you mean the screenplay?


Mary Catelli The screenplay. I also found the textbook less than inspiring.


message 5: by Jo (new) - rated it 5 stars

Jo Drye (jodrye) | 2 comments I like just bought it and on page 2!!! I've already seen it (2 days ago) and I loved it!


The Night Owl's Nook (thenightowlsnook) I've read the screenplay but not seen the movie yet. Simply because that's as close I can get to reading the book before the movie. I'd rather it have been a novel but I loved it.


Derek Neveu Fun read, and it reads verbatim to the film. I read it after seeing the film, and it felt like I was watching it all over again, in a good way of course!


Mary Catelli Then either they didn't improv much, or they rewrote the script to fit any improv.
