Fantastic Beasts 3: Why is the focus on Dumbledore disappointing?

third chapter of spin off in Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets (2022) arrived in national cinemas last Thursday, April 14.

The film’s synopsis involves Albus Dumbledorethe story of the wizard with Gellert Grindelwald and the mysteries left out of the movies of Harry Potter. But while for some, the choice to focus on character is smart, for others it’s disappointing.

After all, much of the wizard’s trajectory was told in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. the presence of the brother aberforth and the sister ariana and the director’s friendship with Gellert Grindelwaldbefore the villain goes down a darker path, are some of the revelations already made.

draw so much attention to Dumbledore as a crucial element in the plot of Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets limits the reach of the worshiped wizarding universe.

The history of Grindelwald resembles that of Voldemort: A great and imminent threat to the Wizarding World with a vast number of passionate followers. For this purpose, Fantastic Beasts 3will certainly be recapping similar stories tackled in the franchise Harry Potterbut with some distinct characters.

Furthermore, Newt has also become a substitute for Harry. The magizoologist apparently approaches Dumbledore in the third film and is ready to embark on dangerous missions for the director. The similarity to the relationship of Harry and Dumbledore is remarkable.

Therefore, the option to focus on the character is also an obstacle to delving even further into the wizarding world loved by so many. With an entire universe to explore, the franchise is hampered by revisiting familiar characters and mirroring the stories of Harry Potterinstead of branching them.
