I'm a Potterhead since I was 8 years old, now I'm 25 and I still love the magical world of Harry Potter. I didn't like so much the first Fantastic Beasts, in my opinion lost part of the typical magic that we were used to see during the original movies. So my expectations were quite low about this sequel.

The Crimes of Grindelwald is a nice movie but hasn't the typical and magical vibe that every Harry Potter's fan wants. The first half of this sequel is more of the same that we've seen in the previous installment, however gets better during the second half, when we visit Hogwarts again. Then we feel we don't need a world trip to catch a dangerous wizard or a lot of complex and adult characters, we just need a simple story about magic, love and friendship able to make us smile and wish to live in that wizard world.

Fantastic Beasts 2 has a bit more magic than its precedent film, however looks more like a blockbuster made for the Marvel/DC generation than to everybody that grew up watching the Harry Potter's movies. I liked the scenes in Hogwarts, some twists, the third act and some cameos. Jude Law is a great actor but he doesn't look like Albus Dumbledore, he hasn't the long beard, the long tunics/jackets and even his personality seems to be a little different than the Dumbledore we met in the original franchise.

Fantastic Beasts 2 is not bad, is a good blockbuster for a new generation, my generation had seen better stories.

Rating: 7/10
