I expected the movie to be a lot better than it actually was. It started off kinda strange, jumped straight into the action from the mere beginning but after that it started slowing down. Some effects didn't look that great and they were a little bit different than what we see in the HP movies. Acting in some places was poor and has a lot of room for improvement. The so called movie got boring after some time and started checking my phone from time to time. I wanted to see this movie, since I thought that it will tell a lot more about Voldemort and his past, but this movie actually disappointed me.

I'm not a hardcore Harry Potter fan, I only watched the movies. With that said the storyline of Voldemort: Origins of the Heir was very confusing to me. This movie does an awful job of explaining why Voldemort has become the way he was. The film bombards you with names and tiny pieces of story which made it really hard to follow. The acting was besides terrible. And why did they choose to do a voiceover instead of recording live? Voices and and acting felt completely out of sync for all characters. The lack of background noise made it even worse. It's like watching a bad dub.Was quite disappointed after all he fuss this movie has generated.

Good idea, congrats! Actors - not that good, but it is a low - budget movie, so not such a big deal. Good ending. Everything else - S U C K S! The storyline is not even good for a child's cartoon. They had the idea of creating a background movie for Tom Riddle, but they didn't have the story. Maybe they should have to wait for couple of months until they reveal the whole story. And did they even read the books? Congratulations on the idea, but the movie is not something any Harry Potter fan should watch. Just don't.... Why 5 stars? Because of the ending and because of the good idea they had.

If you decide to watch the movie, and I recommend you to do so, do it as if you were about to watch a whole new thing. It is a branch of the original series, and it must NOT be taken too seriously regarding inconsistencies with the books. Pretty much all of the reviews I've read thus far are more than likely coming from those mad HP fans that won't accept anything slightly different from what they already know. Anyway, it's a must-watch, if you do it with an open mind and heart.in the begining, you'll feel a little confused, but that feeling will soon vanish as you keep watching.and the plot at the end. DUDE, that was awesome.
