Fast paced and action packed script. Personally, I struggle to connect to characters through script compared to novel and this was the case with this. Great to read something in the Wizarding World and am looking forward to watching the film!

As someone who is interested in screen and play writing, this was a good read as you can learn from it. However, as it is literally a play by play of the movie it can get boring and tedious if you've already seen it.
I would say that if you are interested as well in writing script, or even just curious about how they look and work, read it. If it is not something that calls your attention, if you get easily bored, or expect the script to contain more scenes or extra information about the movie, I would recommend that you have these things in mind when picking up this "book".
