Eng.: The worst Russian animated movie based on a very controversial book. An blatant xenophobic religious propaganda (read: non-Russians and magicians are evil), graphics and animation efforts are god-awful, the premise and plot are cliched and ridiculous, the overall message is warped, characters are forgettable and unrelatable, multiple blatant historical inaccuracies (read: Nazi camp in Scotland?!), bla-bla-bla. Five obvious reasons I could bother to say. Thank god the sequel never happened.
More like ROC (Russian Orthodox Church) vs. Harry Potter. Harry Potter is still awesome, though.
