5 Details Why Fantastic Beasts Fails Harry Potter Fans

The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movies provide a new take on the wizarding world. The original Harry Potter movies' greatness, as well as Harry Potter followers' aspirations for more of the same, will always throw a shadow over these movies.
The pictures were initially planned to focus on the globe-trotting adventures of Newt Scamander, the book's author, but they veered off course to become something else completely. Naturally, the crowd anticipated certain changes, which were inescapable. Here are the top five ways Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them let Harry Potter fans down:

#1 In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, no spoken spells are ever deployed.

nullEvery witch and wizard in the magical community has typically conducted magic-using incantations in the last several years of Harry Potter. These spells are clearly important since Hermione Granger attempts to correct Ron Weasley's mispronunciation of Wingardium Leviosa in a famous scene. These kinds of encounters are a large part of why the original films are so compelling. On the other hand, the present generation (really the elder one) of Fantastic Beasts wizards seemed indifferent about this. There are practically no spells in the films, and when there are, they don't need the use of the vocal cords.

#2 There is no investigation of major figures such as Credence Barebone.

nullThe presence of a prominent member of the New Salem Philanthropic Society is almost imperceptible. Credence is fascinating since he looks a lot like Severus Snape from Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part II when he was younger. Furthermore, he has a history of being abused by Mary Lou, who is always belt-whipping Credence. This piques his interest even more. Credibility, on the other hand, is unaffected, leaving us with a very muddled personality. This isn't even considering Credence's strange, one-sided relationship with Percival Graves. More of that would have been nice to see.

#3 Why isn't Dumbledore given more screen time in the first part?

nullWulfric Albus Percival Albus Percival Wulfric Albus Percival Wul Brian Dumbledore is one of the most important characters from the first film who is mainly excluded. There are a variety of reasons why this brilliant scholar was necessary to feature in this movie. One of the most important is that all of the original eight movies, as well as the introduction prequel film, should have been connected in some way. Why wait until later movies to feature Dumbledore when it was already known that he will play a significant role in the new Wizarding World, as revealed in Rita Skeeter's The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore?

#4 When there's an entire world within Newt's case, how do the monsters get out?

nullAre they able to notice a fracture in the floor or an opening in the sky? Furthermore, why and how do they consistently manage to getaway? Newt's briefcase has an obnoxious clasp that refuses to remain closed throughout the movie. At first, it's entertaining, but it gradually devolves into a case of never-ending heartburn. All that "clicking" means is that another animal is on the verge of escaping and causing havoc in New York. Does Newt, on the other hand, not know any magic spells to keep his bag shut? Hermione's Reparo spell comes to mind; unfortunately, she hasn't yet been born!

#5 "Are you a witch/wizard or not?" is a question that frequently arises while viewing this film.

nullWhy, to reiterate the previous argument, does Newt not use magic to secure his briefcase? Instead of trailing them like a bloody Muggle, why can't Newt learn some beast-catching spells? Why didn't the ministry use the usual Unforgivable Curse/Avada Kedavra technique to murder the witches and wizards on trial? (Not that we condone murder, but at the very least do the proper thing!) Several sequences in the prequel film drove Potterheads insane with anger and fury in their heads.
