I was not huge on Harry Potter until Children of Men came out, that film made me go and watch Prisoner of Azkaban, and i loved it. The franchise is full of wonder and awe, they are truly magical films. The first two Fantastic Beasts are on par in quality of the main series but the characters, while still full of quirks, don't pack the same punch(of say Hermione). The latest, the Secrets of Dumbledore is flawed, you can tell there was turmoil, whether with JK Rowling, the recasting of Grindelwald, or maybe ever Ezra Miller(yes i know time line doesn't match up) but everyone felt like they were just sleep walking through this chapter. Originally a 5 part series, the financial & critical flop seems to be ending here, and it wraps things up pretty well. What does it wrap up? I have no idea, i honestly do not know what the fuck i watched. The plot is all over the place, scenes seem randomly connected, nothing makes sense. This is a mess of a film and went out with a whimper. Rowling may have pissed people off but there were still fans of the Wizarding World, however i feel this is the asteroid that killed that world.
