As a kid, this would have slapped but my mom was one of the types that thought Harry Potter was evil so I never go to watch it and build any sort of nostalgia towards it. It’s a good movie though, a bit on the slow side for the majority of it and the last battle scene was not anything special, the snake was cool but overall really kind of useless. They built him up the whole movie and he was slain pretty easily. These movies are so well done when it comes to the charm of storytelling and world building. That’s why they are so popular. I also really liked how this one had a much darker tone. 10 points deducted for the flying car of bullshit showing up during the spider scene. It was basically the eagles from Lord of the Rings and definitely irked me a bit. It’s solid, probably will rewatch.
