The Fantastic Beasts franchise is a spellbinding series of films that explores the magical universe beyond the beloved Harry Potter series. Directed by David Yates and distributed by Warner Bros., the franchise consists of three films as of 2022, with the potential for more in the future. These films mark the second film series in the Wizarding World shared universe media franchise, following the Harry Potter series (2001–11).
### Films in the Series
1. **Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)** 2. **Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)** 3. **Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)**
The series has enjoyed commercial success but received mixed critical reception.
## Origins
J.K. Rowling, the renowned author of the Harry Potter series, embarked on a new magical journey with Fantastic Beasts. Following Warner Bros.' proposal to adapt Rowling's fictional textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," she wrote a rough draft of the script in twelve days, marking her screenwriting debut.
The series was officially announced in September 2013, with the first installment set in 1920s New York. The films follow the adventures of its fictional author, Newt Scamander, portrayed by Eddie Redmayne.
## Production
### Cast and Crew
The series features an ensemble cast, including Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore, and Mads Mikkelsen as Gellert Grindelwald. Rowling crafted the screenplays for each film, with Steve Kloves returning from the Harry Potter film series to co-write the third installment.
### Filming
Principal photography has taken place at various locations, including Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden and St George's Hall in Liverpool. The third film faced delays and challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including a change in cast for the role of Grindelwald.
## Films
- ### Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) Set in 1926 New York City, this film follows Newt Scamander as he attempts to retrieve magical creatures that escape from his enchanted briefcase, igniting tensions between magical and non-magical people.
- ### Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) This sequel sees the rise of the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, who seeks to elevate wizards above non-magical beings. Dumbledore and Newt must work together to thwart his plans.
- ### Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022) Taking place several years after the second film, this installment explores the Wizarding World's involvement in World War II, with Newt and company embarking on another adventurous journey to defeat Grindelwald.
## Future
Though originally slated as a five-film series spanning from 1926 to 1945, the future of the Fantastic Beasts series remains uncertain as of 2022. Warner Bros. Discovery's decision to greenlight the final two installments will depend on the critical and commercial performance of the existing films.
## Summary
The Fantastic Beasts franchise has enchanted audiences with its expansion of the Wizarding World, introducing new characters, locations, and magical creatures. Despite some criticism, the series continues to contribute to the rich tapestry of the magical universe that began with Harry Potter. Whether or not the franchise will continue, it has already left a magical imprint on the world of cinema.
