![]() ![]() It's like if we replaced our electoral system with letting the groundhog choose the president on Groundhog Day. This is a fantasy world with crazy characters and weird rules and I can't adequately explain why this whole plot point with a magic deer wrings so silly and ridiculous for me. ![]() That's why it's so bizarre to then go right into a weird election conspiracy with a weird magic deer creature. The last movie set the stage for a looming wizard-vs-wizard civil war that would push the magic world to choose its sides. By the end of the movie, Wizard Hitler still looks like Wizard Hitler. It's hard for me to fathom anyone, even the most ardent of Harry Potter fans, watching this movie and exclaiming, "I can't wait for two more of these!" The Secrets of Dumbledore feels more like a regular episode of an ongoing TV series than a story that demanded to be told as a big screen adventure, something that meaningfully reassembles the key characters and moves the larger wizarding world story forward. The third film, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, finds young(er) Dumbledore (Jude Law) confronting his old foe –- franchise fatigue. Now with COVID transforming the box-office, the question remains whether the Wizarding World franchise (as Warner Brothers has been calling the Harry Potter universe) can survive without its Boy Who Lived. In the years since, Rowling has burned through much of her good will with transphobic comments, Johnny Depp has been replaced as series villain Grindelwald by Mads Mikkelsen, and 2018's Crimes of Grindelwald made $150 million less than its predecessor. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, chronicling bashful magical animal caretaker Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), made $800 million worldwide. Rowling was the one writing the screenplays this time and going back to 1920s America. Begun in 2016 as a presumed five-part series, Harry Potter author J.K. If ever a film franchise looked to be in decline, I submit to you, the Fantastic Beasts movies. Original Language: English (United Kingdom) Rating: PG-13 (Some Fantasy Action/Violence) But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines? Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) to lead an intrepid team of wizards, witches and one brave Muggle baker on a dangerous mission, where they encounter old and new beasts and clash with Grindelwald's growing legion of followers. Unlike The Crimes of Grindelwald, The Secrets of Dumbledore doesn't end with a cliffhanger and pretty much wraps up the major plot points.Īs mentioned, we find out that Credence is a Dumbledore and we also get confirmation of a long-running Harry Potter fan theory that Albus and Aberforth's sister Ariana was an Obscurial like Credence.Professor Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) knows the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen) is moving to seize control of the wizarding world. Fantastic Beasts 4 and 5 plot: How will Fantastic Beasts end? We don't know for sure if Kloves will be back, but we'd hope he is if the fourth movie does happen. Steve Kloves, who penned seven of the eight Harry Potter screenplays, wrote the third movie with Rowling. In addition to Yates, another Harry Potter original series alumnus joined the Fantastic Beasts franchise in the third movie. We know from canon that Newt and Tina do eventually get married, so she won't be completely missing.Ĭould we see some Harry Potter favourites show up in a fourth movie? Ahead of the release of the third movie, Fogler didn't shut down the rumours that we could see a younger version of Hagrid at some point.īehind the camera, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them director David Yates (who also helmed the last four Harry Potter movies) signed on to direct all of the movies in the series. Hopefully there will be more for Tina to do in the next movie, but it's not guaranteed. Tina is now the head of the American Auror office which is keeping her "very busy". Katherine Waterston's Tina Goldstein had a major role in the first two movies, but was relegated to a small cameo in The Secrets of Dumbledore. We imagine he'll die off-screen, but he might have a cameo in the next movie. However, it's revealed he's also slowly dying as a result of the Obscurus inside him and at the end of the movie, Aberforth takes him back home. It was confirmed in the third movie that he is a Dumbledore, although he's actually Aberforth's (Richard Coyle) son and not Albus's brother. The future is less certain for Ezra Miller's Credence Barebone. Jessica Williams as Professor Eulalie "Lally" Hicks.Nothing has been confirmed about the cast of the fourth movie, but all the main characters survived the events of the third movie, so you can expect the following returns if the fourth movie happens: ![]()
