There’s a lot to be said about this movie and we’re diving right in! The twists and turns, as well as that shocking ending, has made this a polarizing film for fans of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World. As far as the Bookstacked podcast crew is concerned, most of us loved it — but one of us hated it.

Editor's Note: J.K. Rowling's film series prominently starred actor Johnny Depp who was accused of domestic violence by his ex-wife, Amber Heard, in an op-ed. On June 1, 2022, a jury found Depp was defamed by Heard. We feel it's important for our readers to be aware of this context.
