Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Recieved The Worst Reviews of The Harry Potter Universe
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the second installment of J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts franchise; a 5 movie arc that takes us back to the Wizarding World of her creation, focusing on the dark wizard, Grindelwald's, rise to power. Rowling has tried diligently to incorporate as many ties to the Harry Potteruniverse as possible, with some links being more tenuous than others. Then there's the controversy surrounding the casting of Johnny Depp as Grindelwald; something that doesn't rest easy with many, given his turbulent off-screen behavior.
Rowling is also trying to tell several character's stories all in one; the complex relationship between Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) and Grindelwald; the continued study of magical creatures by Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), and the tortured existence of Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller). The result is that The Crimes of Grindelwald has already become the worst reviewed Harry Potter movie. While it's still likely to perform well at the box office with dedicated fans, the critic's reviews are worrying considering there are 3 more movies to come. We've rounded up some of the harshest reviews out there.
