GOD this was a struggle.

That's my view as someone who has never watched a Harry Potter film before – nor read any of the books.

The opening pace was glacial and it didn't get any better, save for the odd 'state of the art' special effects shock. Really, really dull.  How many lingering shots of fog, mist and crashing waves can one film, albeit almost a bum-numbing three hours, pack in?

My girls are still at the everything is "good" stage and even they thought the bit most fitting of discussion afterwards was whether you could actually see Ben Shephard in an early scene or not.
