The Crimes of Grindelwald by J.K. Rowling

I'm a Potterhead.

Duh.  As if you didn't know that already.

That being said, I was uber-disappointed in Fantastic Beasts, so I had some hesitation about reading this.  Written as a screenplay, much like Cursed Child, this is the basis of the latest movie, starring Johnny Depp (on a side note, HP is a Universal/Warner thing; could that be why Depp was fired from the Pirates franchise, a Disney endeavor?).

If you've followed me for a while, you know I have to read the book before I see the movie.

The reality is I don't really need to review this for plot.  It's a prequel; we know what happens to Grindelwald and Dumbledore.  There are some pretty significant plot twists I did not expect, but I don't want to spoil them, although anyone who really knows HP has an idea.  I especially liked Nagini.  ;)

Note the WHHS LMC does not have this book; this is a personal copy.  If there is enough interest, perhaps we can get it.

Oh, and after meeting with my bosses, my reviews are going to appear in video form.  More details to come.
