I'd argue music is more important than visuals for a night time show, but you go ahead and roll with that.

I mean from what I heard the music is pretty good? I just don't think "story" is all that important for a nighttime spectacular.
Yes, that video is significantly better, especially on a large computer screen. Universal's castle projection shows just seem to improve the more they do them. And Hogwarts is really the perfect setting for projections. Just around 8 minutes is a good length also. The first show, at around 4 minutes, was just too short, though it still was pretty good. The Christmas show length was decent though. It will be interesting to see this ending when the winds don't prevent the patronus drones , and a possible burst of pyro. The ending really needs a bit more, hopefully both effects are in the final version. .For some reason, I was only able to view the livestream @ 360p, which made the show not all that impressive as I couldn't really see much detail. After seeing the video below, I'm much more impressed. I enjoyed the fog effect combined with the water spilling out of the castle and shots of the castle in ruins. The drones and pyro will definitely take this to another level and gets me excited to see this person.

While visually spectacular, it seems kinda meh overall. Not much of a storyline that makes sense. At the beginning it's like ok here's some spiders. Oh and here's some dragons. and now some trolls. No rhyme or reason to it. Then later we have Voldemort and death eaters, but then Dumbledore runs them off with harry's patronus? That's not really what a patronus does.
Granted this is one viewing, of the initial show, on a cell phone video, with some of the effects missing. I'm sure live it's a great show to experience. I'd probably go watch it every night if I was there. Just seems that it's lacking in story.
Drones were in use today!
Is there any pyro in the Hollywood version?
