I didn't enjoy. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them but seeing I'm a Harry Potter fan I thought I'd give this 2nd instalment a chance , I'm sorry I did and won't go to the next one..

I won't write much as it's only one opinion and many people seem to like this franchise but I think JK Rowling had lost the plot .

Production wise the CGI effects are impressive and it has all the creative talent that money can buy . I usually like Eddie Redmayne in movies but find him almost irritating and incipient in this role.

For me this movie franchise has none of the charm fabulous characters (just beasts) or magic of Harry Potter , it's very dark confusing and boring but judge it for yourself .

It's marketed as a sequel to Harry Potter and there are characters like a much younger Albus Dumbledore and relatives of Bella Le Strange but the main character seems to have no connection whatsoever except that magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne)-the author of a famous Hogwarts text book became a teacher at Hogwarts .

I'm confused but to be honest I don't really care .

I found this Timeline after the movie that may have helped my confusion but I doubt I would have helped me enjoy this movie more.

Take a look at the timeline to see how the events of Fantastic Beasts connect to Harry Potter..........
