This is the worst Harry Potter film we’ve ever seen…

Did you ever want to be an astronaut? What about a superhero? Did Harry Potter leave you wishing you could be a wizard? Well, luckily for you that’s never going to happen, and, as such, you’re never going to have to discover just how boring life as an Auror can be with no Voldemort to fight.
