Fantastic Beasts

[FredLives]

Just watched the first two films of the Fantastic Beast series. First was fun, lots of creatures and CGI plus a few small nods to Harry Potter.

 

Second film was on an altogether different level. It was like jumping from The Philosopher's Stone to Order of the Phoenix in one leap. Much darker and much more detailed (to the point of being a bit confusing at times). However, the huge difference to me was the amount of Harry Potter connections i.e. Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone, Travers (a death eater in HP) and of course Dumbledore and Hogwarts! What was made very clear in the second film was the relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald - which I liked as it gave their impending clash a much more emotional and personal edge. 

 

Looking forward to the third film in 2022.
