The Fantastic Beasts first movie was good, but the second didn't because it stuck to the Fantastic Beasts premise and shoud've focused on the Grindelwald war more generally without the focus on Newt Scamander. That would've given the film a better chance of working. But 2nd film was so boring I have no interest in the third film at all.I'm guessing Daniel and Rupert weren't available for all the filming as I found it strange at the start that the focus seemed to be on Emma and not Daniel or all 3 of them. Even a lot of PR pieces seem to focus on her.
Also agree the lack of Jo Rowling was ridiculous and disrespectful.
Otherwise I thought it was really good and well done. I thought it seemed early for a reunion as its only been 10 years since they ended, but it was nice to revisit that world and that cast. I love HP but the Fantastic Beasts movies just don't cut it.
