Professor Dumbledore enlists the help of Newt Scamander and a team of sorcerers to protect the wizarding world from dark forces. The Magic of Hogwarts Review: The key to appreciating this series. - Best of the Fantastic Beasts franchise. When I first saw the first two films, I found the plot and huge cast of characters confusing. But then I figured out the key to understanding and appreciating this five-film franchise. J.K. Rowling once said she wrote the Harry Potter books for the, โserious re-readerโ. She writes complex books with layers of symbolism, frequent foreshadowing (followed by distraction), and many characters grow and evolve in ways lost on one-time readers. Iโve read the Harry Potter books at least 25 times, and I STILL occasionally find an Easter egg that J.K. Rowling hid in plain sight. So after getting frustrated with the first two Fantastic Beasts films, it dawned on me, โWhat if Rowling wrote the FB screenplays the same as she wrote the HP booksโ? What if she wrote the screenplays for the serious re-watcher? So before the third FB film came out, I watched the first two films a half dozen times each. That prepared me for the third film. When the third film came out on dvd, I watched it a half dozen times in two weeks. Now I get it. Rowling writes screenplays the same way she writes booksโฆwith complexity, layers of symbolism, foreshadowing, and subtle character development. I now consider the third film, โSecrets of Dumbledoreโ among the most flawless films Iโve ever seen. Every scene is tight, the pacing never drags, and there is more complexity than the average casual viewer would notice. This is a film I will watch again and again. The joy of reading the HP books over and over is to discover the things J.K. Rowling planted that I missed during the first dozen reads. I now realize this is also true for the Fantastic Beasts films, and the key for appreciating their complexity. Review: good price - quick shipment - great price - good quality

It was good
It was good but I missed Johnny. I think he would have added some more depth to the story but the replacement guy was ok, though a little flat of character. It was a nice addition to the series, though the pace felt a bit slower than the previous films & I'll watch it several more times to catch all the nuances etc. Overall decent. It was good to delve deeper into the other characters, get some backstory & fleshing out some of the other characters' stories as well. I know JK is not anyone's favorite person at the moment (nor mine) but the wizarding world she created has been an important refuge for me for a lot of yrs & the actors/and all the people who work hard to bring these films to life have done a great job, regardless of her. I hope they create more films because I still enjoy them on their own merit. ๐
