I'm not really a huge fan of the Harry Potter franchise. I was already a bit long in the tooth by the time the books were written and could never really get excited by the evolving story. Dipped in and out of the movies, but did watch the first Fantastic Beasts movie which was a pretty good introduction to a new character.

Have to say that the second installment of Fantastic Beasts left me feeling very flay. The biggest failure of the movie is that the script/story left you feeling very little empathy with any of the characters. I really didn't care what happened to anyone. Eddie Redmayne is reasonable in the lead role and quite sure some of the Potter fans will like the references to the franchise. Suspect many of the people who are not Potter fans will be left a little disappointed like myself.
