April 14, 2022 – Back to the wizarding world we went!

I enjoyed Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore a lot. It was, as always, wonderful to return to this world of magic and fantasy.

The plot was clear and not overly complicated, we jump into things right away and everything flows well. There were still twists and turns but it was nice to not have anything too over the top.

All the acting was brilliant of course, new and old characters alike. And of course the creatures introduced and seen were wonderful too. The music was beautiful as one would expect with these movies.

We have two movies left of this story, and considering one thing that happened at the end, things can ramp up now. I certainly have high expectations for movie five when we get it eventually.

There were aspects of the HP books that were touched upon in this and I liked seeing those threads connect. Though I’ll be interested to see if that continues with the last two films.

The action was great, there’s always some new little bit of magic we’ve not seen yet that just brings joy. It’s just such a fun world. I’ll always love it.

I know Ezra Miller has been having some bad press recently along with the past year or so, we’ll just have to see what comes of it. He’s not been making great choices.

I would certainly say that this made me miss seeing the wizarding world more often like before, I wouldn’t say no to WB making a series out of something. But, with everything that continues to go on with Rowling’s backward views, I think WB is just trying to get these movies done asap. It’s a shame, but again, we’ll have to see what the future holds.
