After dipping his toe into franchises like 007, Star Wars, and Marvel, Mads Mikkelsen joins the Wizarding World for his stint as the franchise’s villain to moderately effective results. This movie features the noteworthy replacement of Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald, who resigned from the role following negative publicity. The Secrets of Dumbledore is a bland attempt at a political thriller, one that makes poor creative decisions and fails to capture the (literal) magic of the original series. While the Harry Potter films will forever hold a special place in my heart, this movie is the lowest depth this enterprise has sunk to. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is the third film in the Fantastic Beasts saga and features Wizarding World veteran David Yates in the director’s chair. So, once the film series ended in 2011, an inferior prequel series to capitalize on the success was inevitable. The Wizarding World was a constant adventure that we all wanted to escape to. Drawing lightning-shaped scars on our foreheads, and waving around magic wands while eagerly anticipating the newest book in the Harry Potter series were a cultural phenomenons like no other. Anyone who grew up in the 2000s wanted to be a wizard.
