Compared to the books, I find the Harry Potter movies drawn-out and boring, but I rewatched
this one during the pandemic and found that I enjoyed all three thirteen-year-olds as well as
Hagrid, Sirius, Snape, Lupin, and鈥攎ost of all鈥攖he fact that the filmmakers didn鈥檛
blithely destroy the
single static timeline out of a misplaced sense
that time travelers are meant to change the timeline willy-nilly.
