Johnny Depp is unforgivable casting, a hideous addition to the cast in a role that he hams up to the max, in the fashion we’ve now come to expect from him. Dan Fogler and Alison Sudol are the surprise delights of the picture an adorable supporting duo of muggle and mind reading witch. Colin Farrell is on decent form and Eddie Redmayne surprisingly won me over, despite concerning typecasting at this early stage in his career. I would have loved to see Miller in Depp’s role – casting that would make much more sense. Katherine Waterston, Samantha Morton, Ezra Miller and the astounding Carmen Ejogo are all wonderful additions to the Potter-sphere despite Ejogo being terribly underused and Miller being dumped into an underdeveloped role. In its weakest, it’s Johnny Depp with a bad haircut. In its finest moments, this is a smart, witty tale of a lone wolf on a mission to protect his beloved creatures. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them loses its way in its second half but has enough whimsical small details to satisfy fans of the original series. The wizard, Newt Scamander, brings with him a suitcase containing an abundance of magical creatures but none as threatening as the one violently assaulting the city and its residents. Meanwhile, a British wizard with an overactive suitcase arrives in Manhattan, bringing with him a magical caper across the city with an astounded muggle and two ‘charming’ witches in tow. It’s 1927 and a mysterious beast appears to be wreaking havoc throughout New York City. Hence, I’ve been wary of watching the latest film about the escapades of the author of a Hogwarts required textbook that I read, shivering next to the lockers, all those years ago. I did not sign up to Pottermore and I was violently unimpressed with the fan fiction nonsense that crept into the pages of the stage play’s script. Since then, I’ve always been a tad sceptical about extensions of the universe, one that holds a special place in my imagination. Once the film series concluded I felt content. I recall being about 10 years old and reading through Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them whilst wrapped in a soggy towel, sat in the swimming pool changing room as my hair dried into stubborn knots. Over the last 18 years I have revisited all 7 books and 8 films multiple times and spent many a car journey and restless night with Stephen Fry perfectly delivering each story from cassette (later CD) to my ears. Signing a player that is 27-28 makes less sense as you gonna need to replace them in another few years.Īlso, I don't think there are many realistic transfer options open that are older and offer the same profile as these players.This review must begin with a confession: I am a Potter-head an old school one at that. You want to sign players that can play for 4-5 years in their prime together like we did from 2016-18. Look at the age profile of our key players that will likely form the backbone of that team. They are fully developed physically and all of Kone, Thuram and Viega are coming off good seasons in a Top 5 league.Īlso, yes, we need to be better next season but more than that we need to create Klopp's Liverpool 2.0. We need them to add legs to the ageing midfield. They aren't going to take the captain's armband or anything but we don't need them to as we still have some great leaders in the squad. I am sorry what's wrong with signing a 21-22-year-old?Ī player at that age can play for the first team.
