Carol, Elyse and I are reading the screenplay and anyone else interested is free to join in!

I read the screenplay within a few hours earlier today and really enjoyed it.

I read the screenplay and enjoyed it. I don't think my imagination was able to keep up what was going on in the book.

Saw the movie tonight. NO SPOILERS... I think I liked it... Have to cogitate on it some. It is darker than the first movie. And certainly darker than most of the HP books. But I still liked it.

I didn't get to it but I plan on reading it before the year is out!

There are going to be 5 movies total so the stories get pretty stretched out. Also, the book is just the screenplay of the movie. So you don't get more info. I wish she'd have written actual books for these.

Yeah I just recently found out there would be 5. A little much. lol. But it's 1927 in this movie and they have to get to at least 1945 for the duel and I'm REALLY hoping we get to see how Voldemort acquires Nagini. Especially since Voldemort might not even have been born yet or been very young when the duel happens. And Rowling has a LOT of canon she needs to stick to in order to not piss off hardcore fans. lol.

Yes, Bellatrix Lestrange was Voldemort's right hand (wo)man. Not sure if Lita is her mother or grandmother or maybe aunt, IDK where they're connected but they obviously must be.

Ok ..."

Here is a site that had a genalogy:

If this is a reliable site... Bellatrix (Black) Lestrange was a Lestrange by Marriage, and formerly a Black. So I think she is distantly related to Leta.

Family... so confusing.
