I don't know. The first like 10 minutes of the first one, where it looked like it actually was about fantastic beasts. That was alright.

Probably the biggest miss of the franchise was avoiding the titular "Fantastic Beasts" after the first movie. Plus the whole, bringing muggles into the fold - that's the kind of not-Harry content/world building that could have had legs.

But the went all, "Look! It's just like Voldemort!" And, "That's Dumbledore's brother or something - you remember Dumbledore, right?"
