He isn't interesting enough, Harry was great because he was relatable.
shareI agree, and I don't know whether to blame the writer, or the actor.
God knows the scripts for this mess aren't Rowling's best work, and God knows Redmayne isn't the best actor out there. He brings the same damn gawky smiles to every film he makes.
you meant Autistic smiles. Because Eddie is trying his best damn self to be that.
shareAlso, Harry’s speech was intelligible. Understanding Newt is a challenge.
shareEven more so when you are a non native speaker, such as myself.
I just don't find him interesting at all. It's actually the opposite of that. Harry on the other hand, was much more interesting.
Harry had a great backstory. Newt’s is still being told but it’s not as good, at least so far.
I can see how it would be especially difficult for a non native speaker. I had to put the subtitles on halfway through the movie.
