well the name of the spells got less and less because they got older and better... they mention it in the books that once you get good enough you don't have to say the spells... I don't recall dumbledore ever saying any.
I wish they included Snape's defense against the dark arts class. I thought it was kinda funny how Snape taught them to use nonverbal spells and Harry kept failing. So when Harry attacked Snape at the end, he knew how to block all the spells because Harry was saying the names aloud.

It is about being able to identify what is going on. What I like about Dumbledore and Voldemort in the movie is you can tell when they are doing different things with the visual cues. It is not like that most of the time in the Yates movies. So it just looks like light be tossed at each other. You wouldn't need the verbal cues if they showed it more with visuals. But really you only see "different" magic when someone says it.
I think he will. It would be utterly remiss of them not to. Furthermore, this is a chance for Yates to redeem himself after the missed opportunity to tell Riddle's story in HBP.
God, that battle between Dumbeldore and Voldemort in Order of the Phoenix is still epic. I'm disappointed we never got to see magic of that scale ever again in the films. (Granted Dumbledore dies in the following film but yeah)
I remember as a kid I always wanted to see more and more of the prowess of the Order of the Phoenix members depicted on screen. See more of Moody, Kingsley, or the respective professors of Hogwarts in battle battling Death Eaters.
Doesn't that just generally happen when they are shooting part of the movie in a true IMAX format?
It's taken a bit of a recent pummeling on RT, but still has a good score (for whatever that's worth to you....). I want to go see an early morning showing tomorrow because I can usually just cruise in and pick a good seat.
Yeah.....I don't know much about RT, but maybe the early reviews tend to be from people who generally like the genre and so those reviews are generally more positive than the ones that follow about a week later. I'm trying to think up some snide comment about Rex Reed, but it's not coming....

I loved it. If I had to describe it in a single word it would be - charming. I'm physically restraining myself not to use every magical invoking reference for this movie. You can tell it was crafted with a wide audience in mind - the creature stuff is fun and kids will love it, and the overall plot line is very adult - political and social in nature. I think it should appeal even to those who aren't Potter fans.
Also, if I were the people behind this franchise, I'd make sure to have a niffler scene in every sequel. I could have watched an entire movie of Eddie Redmayne attempting to recapture that little cute jewel thife. This little guy is a scene stiller.
The entire cast is really solid - I especially enjoyed Eddie,Dan Fogler is the MVP hands down, Alison Sudol as Queenie was super charming and I loved Collin Farell in this.
Which is why I'm kind of bummed that he is replaced by Depp. I would have preferred if Farrell remained Grindelwald.
The only one I wasn't impresed with was the lead female, Katherine Waterston. I found her rather bland and without much charisma to be honest. Also, Ezra Miller was good.
All in all, I really enjoyed the movie. I'd give it 8/8.5 out of 10.
