I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, I'm not really a big film watcher and having really disliked the HP films, I don't have a solid basis to get excited about this. I also don't find the lead attractive so there's none of that either.
There's also the plot itself, which while sounding serviceable and kid-friendly is ringing alarm bells to me that this will be another film like Jurassic World where I'm watching a bunch of pixels (beautifully rendered though they may be) bash into each other on screen in a CGI overload.
And lastly, I have no emotional attachment to any aspect of the world or characters. It's set in the US with brand new characters. They may turn out to be wonderful and a great addition to the series film canon, but there's no emotional hook to hang my hat on yet so it's tough to get too excited about it.
If it's an awesome film, then the second one may generate buzz, but this first outing is an unknown, so I'm reserving squee.
