seminoles1 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Trailer actually has my interest. I just hope this Credence is a Dumbledore thing is a ruse. Best theory I've seen and I'd be on board with is that the obscurial in Credence is the same obscurial that was in Ariana. It's still weird with a recast of Grindelwald. I'd almost want them to recast him in every movie at this point; make it part of his character that he switches up his appearance. General audiences probably wouldn't like that and get confused, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggio7 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Great cast, just the plot is eh. I think it was lame to replace Depp and keep Ezra. I love Mads though so I'm happy it's him. There are still two moves to go after this one and it will be really interesting to see where things go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Early reviews are out. A big improvement over Crimes of Grindelwald, but still overstuffed. I'll be there opening night though. Still wish they had brought back Colin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamq Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I'll likely wait until it comes out on demand. Extremely annoyed they dumped Depp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love HP and actually loved the concept of how this started, but way too much controversy and changes going on with Rowling, Depp, Miller, etc. Plus the 2nd one just wasn't well written and was overstuffed which killed a lot of interest from the general public. We won't be seeing the end of this series because of it and that's unfortunate, because exploring young Dumbledore is so intriguing as a fan of the books. I doubt we even get a 4th film from the original 5 film concept. If we do then it will for sure be the last and the budget will be cut significantly. Another big problem is they made Dumbledore's complicated backstory and Grindelwald these big deals in this series (instead of sticking with the original concept)...but I bet every movie only fan of the series has no idea because the main HP films didn't dwell on these things at all outside of fleeting, passing mentions. Had better seeds been laid in the films for Half Blood Prince and The Deathly Hallows regarding Dumbledore then there would have been more interest in that from the beginning. Without those breadcrumbs, it just looks like they pivoted away from the original, lightheaded concept for no reason other than to name drop. My friends who love the movies but haven't read the books had absolutely no idea of the complicated past of Dumbledore or who Grindelwald even was until I told them. I know Grindelwald is in The Deathly Hallows Part 1, but it's for a total of like 30 unmemorable seconds. This should have been two different spinoff series + there should have been more of Dumbledore's backstory explored in the last 3 HP films.

Oregon Ducks Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Rowling tanked the franchise…sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 If the game is as good as it looks, will definitely help give the franchise a win. But wonder where they go from here. Haven’t seen this one yet, will at some point, just doesn’t seem compelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
