the first one felt more like Harry Potter than the rest of them, i would bet that she did the first FB and then just left it up to the other screenwriter and she has the option of approving it while the money dump truck is being backed into her driveway. honestly, i dont think she is even interested in the world she created anymore other than snagging an easy payday. which is fine, at least she finished all 7 books good or bad in 10 years. much more than i could say for that dipshit Martin.

She wrote the first 2 and that's why they don't feel like a movie written by a person who has ever written a script before, with their pacing much more book-like, if that makes sense. Word was she didn't let anyone edit her nonsense as she knew best.
The screen writer who is also credited on this is the guy who also adapted all but one of the Harry Potter books to film, so this one will ideally feel more like a movie and less like every idea an author had vomited onto a screen.

that second movie was all over the place, i guess thats her writing style and her editors did a great job at reigning her shit in for the HP book series. also thanks to them we never got to read about Dumbledore chugging cocks in Harry Potter.

Warner Bros. removes dialogue from 'Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore' in China
Warner Bros. is removing part of its dialogue from "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" to appease the Chinese government.
The studio announced the news in a statement, sharing that six seconds of the film was requested to be removed. The cuts take out direct references to character Albus Dumbledore's (Jude Law) romantic relationship with Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen).

7.5 / 10 or so, really enjoyed this. I liked the first one, agree the second was very meh, but this movie was my favorite of the three so far, primarily due to it focusing much more on Dumbledore and Grindlewald. Jude Law is great as Dumbledore. Replacing Depp with Mads is obviously a plus and its too bad he wasn't in the last one for consistency. In the end this is a JK Rowling story where she's filling in some of the gaps on Dumbledore's history, and its interesting to learn them for the first time in the format of a solid movie. Compared to the Potter movies where you already knew the details of the story and it was just fun to see them brought to the big screen.
RT critics have it as 50%, but audience score is 84%. If you're a fan of the Potter world look at the latter number and see this.

Woke trash. No fucking story. No point at all to this movie. Advanced zero only to make to never see another one. First two were good, this one is a victim of what we have allowed to permeate our culture. And no I give two shits about Dumbledore gayness, it's the hap hazard way they throw it in there, like an after thought as with every piece of woke trash on TV and Movies. It has nothing to do with the movie or character. Depp bowed out probably for this reason alone. 0/10 because I almost fell asleep during it.

The first movie was ok, the 2nd was boring, and this seems to be a complete cash grab with a paper thin story. Just ditch this shit already and make a Tom Riddle movie.
The best parts of the Half-Blood Prince were never filmed where you get the entire backstory to Voldemort starting from before he was even born. Usually when you get the backstory to the bad guy it's a letdown, but Rowling made everything fall into place so perfectly. He was the perfect storm of genealogy, circumstance, and makeup. Starting with the Gaunt family, his Hogwarts years, his rise to power, and the first wizarding war.. that would be a movie I would pay to see.

They probably spent about as much time explaining it as they did explaining how fast Professor X went from James McAvoy to Patrick Stewart.

Riddle was born in 1926, this movie is set in 1932. no reason why they couldnt start his backstory yet. moaning myrtle dies in 1943 from the Basilisk.

If you were serious about asking, it's not even the right Dumbledor, his brother had the secret that the emo kid is his son. Or the secret was he likes to suck off Grindlewald. Doesn't matter both plot lines are stupidly done and you end up not giving a shit about any of it. Lots of cringe like the Zombie Pokémon bowing in front of Grindlewald and no one thinks it's rigged as his first decloration as a man of pure heart is to declare war on the muggles, cringe all around
