Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
Season 2, Episode 2 – Janae & Amanda debate the order of events in the love affair between Dumbledore and Grindlewald in the third release in the Fantastic Beasts series. Director: David Yates (last 4 HP films, all FB films) Writers: JK Rowling & Steve Kloves (who was a writer for all of the HP films except for one, and was a producer for the first two FB films) Producer: JK Rowling, Steve Kloves, David Heyman (who produced *all* of the films), Lionel Wigram (who’s been a part of the WW project since Order of the Pheonix), and Tim Lewis. We waited 4 years for a lackluster film that seemed to abandon all of the previous information and not bother to explain the changes in magic, historical events, or details. Is this a problem of “middle child syndrome”, do we blame COVID, a combo of the two - or just plain bad writing?
