I absolutely loved HP books as a child, watched movies 1-4 and also saw 1st FB movie out of sentiment. It wasn't bad but I wanted more comfy adventures of Newt just fucking around and saving/finding/releasing/whatever titular creatures. The whole Grindelwald plot could have been ok on condition that it was expanded in separate movies/spin offs.
And that would be my general idea: instead of sequels, give us series of solo films exploring different ages and countries in HP universe. It is pretty weird to me that in the age of milking every franchise dry, we still didn't get any series, i.e. regarding Hogwarts' founders.
Was/is there any way to save this franchise?

>but I wanted more comfy adventures of Newt just fucking around and saving/finding/releasing/whatever titular creatures
literally what everyone wanted user
they robbed us
Connor Barnes
We need Mads and Jude to have a 15 minutes long sex scene in the next movie and the whole series will be saved.
Christian Edwards
Yeah, they certainly didn't explore that wand lore well enough.
Julian Ross
I support this fully.
Jaxon Parker
I know it's crazy
The real problem is that they abandoned the fantastic beasts element after the first movie except for some very limited moments, but the series is still called that and still has Newt, for some reason
Which is bad, because the first one was a success so they should have just kept going with Newt and made the Grindelwald plot in another series
Make movies with the founders, make movies with the ancient roman wizards, make them about Voldemort, about Harry's parents
But don't put different plotlines together in a new series, the main character should be protagonist, it's such a basic concept that it's crazy that they didn't make it like this
Nathan Sanders
I cannot believe Dumbledore decided to stick his dick in crazy and dumped his bf after he aged like fine wine. I just don't get it.
William Jenkins
>about Voldemort, about Harry's parents
Please no, we got enough of it already.
I would actually want a movie set in near future, showing how wizards react to know technology, they have to hide better because everyone has a camera, they contemplate either going into complete hiding or exposing themselves to muggles etc.
Brody Baker
Also fun
The possibilities are endless
Matthew Ortiz
I want this now that we have smartphones. Would moving photographs and paintings in books and newspaper be that impressive to zoomer mudbloods who have smartphones and use apps with gifs and short videos? I'd like to see small things like that as well, that would be fun.
Thomas Brooks
He is not a clever man.
Adam Parker
PHALLUS ELONGATUS
Kevin Powell
Yeah. Or maybe even set it in more distant future when technology is far superior to magic and it's muggles who discover wizard and treat them with contempt this time.
Daniel Adams
That could be interesting but I like the urban fantasy aspect of the series, I wouldn't want something that verges on scifi
Carson Jones
>urban fantasy
I do like it too but I don't remember any sci-fi/fantasy mix, at least in bigger movies.
Noah Rivera
The next Harry Potter ip should just be a school drama/comedy TV series set at Hogwarts.
Logan Walker
No, I mean if there will ever be a potential spinoff in the future I wouldn't want it to be too far into the future because it could potentially not be urban fantasy anymore.
Sounds fun. Maybe we could finally see Hogwarts a whole year without anyone getting murdered or severely injured, for once.
Isaiah Mitchell
>school drama/comedy
I think it would work the best in HP game, mixed with RPG elements. I don't really play vidya anymore but I think that's what they going for in this new Hogwarts game.
Ayden Sanders
They could have just had this twink do the exact same thing with the Pokémon escaping from his trunk in different cities and I would have watched all of them.
Jose Lewis
Unironically hope AIbus is the protag for the next two films and magic autist is delegated to a supporting role, we've had enough.
Jacob Torres
Newt is a qt3.14 though, if he ever become a side character he better have plenty of screentime.
Levi Price
well maybe it should have focused on, you know, the FANTASTIC BEASTS instead of sucking off harry Potter?
Xavier Brown
I believe that Grindelwald was one of the big wizards in the past. JK Rowling is the writer of the series, so it's a canon work.
So my take is: She really wanted to expand HP universe. If that's what she's doing they won't really milk the franchise, just explore the world. I don't think that they'll ever do what you are proposing because JK Rowling wouldn't write/approve it.
Carson Cruz
The latest movie works around the qilin, and honestly it reminded me so much of when I was reading the 12 Kingdoms in middle and high school I just loved it.
Yes, she can veto whatever she wants if it doesn't fit her vision. She really treats the franchise like it's her baby.
Nolan James
Yes, she could go George Lucas, it could even beat SW. If she wanted to do that she would have done already.
Every entry of this universe will be well written and will make sense, because she's the one leading the projects.
GL created the concept of Clone Wars but I don't think he really worked on it as he worked on the original movies. The think that she's doing is in another level. Maybe she'll even write the scripts as books.
I've never watched that theatrical work about the future of HP, but I'm pretty sure she also written that. Which also makes a canon work. I hope she finds someone to write these scripts as books, something like Toriyama is doing with Toiyotaro for Dragon Ball Super.
Gavin Williams
Huh, am I of the minority then? I also loved the books and movies growing up. But out of everything in the FB films it's the parts that aren't Newt focused which are the most enjoyable to me. I don't even dislike his character, I just prefer seeing the past events for characters that people grew to know in the originals/books such as Dumbledore and McGonagall, or even those mentioned who were important like Grindewald.
Grayson Watson
>school drama/comedy TV series set at Hogwarts.
not at Hogwarts. Somewhere else, maybe Latin america, or Africa. Or maybe each season could happen in a different school. We've already had enough of Hogwarts. HP is a very visually oriented series, so it needs a very different set in each entry.
All they needed to do was going "Jurassic Park" with it. But no...
Something with Cobra Kai feeling would be great.
Jose Wright
>Something with Cobra Kai feeling would be great.
It was an answer to I made a wrong edit.
Henry Peterson
You'll need a microscope to see the franchise name if they ever make a fourth
Noah Hernandez
>We've already had enough of Hogwarts
This.
>Huh, am I of the minority then?
I guess so. It's more of the general thing but I'm really sick of constant nostalgia baiting and returning to familiar places/characters. At least Newt exploring USA might have been something different.
Leo Gray
/Thread
Pack it up girls
Chase Edwards
Fantastic Beasts and the Joys of Anus?
Elijah Evans
It's a series of 5 entries. There'll be two more movies.
Dylan Anderson
I heard about it too but doesn't newest movie perform bad financially? They may pull the plug.
Nolan Green
>Joys of Anal
fify
Hunter Edwards
God, I hope not. This gay kino has really captured my attention and I need more.
Matthew Hall
Hoping for that hot hot Dumby/Grindy wandfucking?
Gavin Rivera
It's made about $335 million so far and it had a budget of $200 million
Gavin Rivera
That's pretty bad.
Samuel James
>remember that character you loved back then? he is a raging faggot LMAO here is a scene of him taking it up the asshole
love to see it
Cameron Gomez
No.
Hudson Morgan
It won't, if it does, it's all written by JK Rowling. She'll release the script or she'll novelized it.
Carter Morris
it was hands down one of the worst movies i have ever seen
Dominic Mitchell
Yes.
Jayden Price
I really want to know what spells do they use during sex. And whether do they penetrate each other with wands?
Bentley Williams
>Was/is there any way to save this franchise?
Yes by not making anything after Deathly Hallows Part 2
Nolan Morales
yep
On April 12th, WB said they were going to greenlight the next one based on how this one did critically/financially
wonder when they're gonna say something about it
Jaxson Perez
Or making a faithful TV adaptation of the 7 books
There's so much stuff in them that they left out in the movies
But you know that's never going to happen
Christian Clark
>But you know that's never going to happen
Why is that exactly?
Brandon Perry
>>remember that character you loved back then? he is a raging faggot LMAO here is a scene of him taking it up the asshole
>forgetting that the very first time Dumbledore is mentioned he's wearing FABULOUS high heel boots to put baby Harry in front of a doorstep
Based retard.
Michael Lewis
Look at the Halo show
Parker Smith
No. Call it Depp's revenge.
Austin Sanders
Never played games so I didn't care about it.
Ayden Hernandez
any retelling of the 7 books made in the future will have a black hermione along with more garbage politically charged changes
probably playing up the house elf thing and turning it into BLM shit
Asher Nguyen
Only females and faggots like this franchise it was lost from the beginning
Mason Robinson
So, only people with good taste? Ok, got it.
Jason Gonzalez
How about moving forward and building on what people liked instead of more shitty prequels?
Hogwarts: TNG
Oliver Phillips
People conveniently ignore Dumbledore being ridiculously flamboyant in the books
Connor Scott
This. Prequels would be ok but set them much earlier and in different country.
Julian Nguyen
They're the type of people who will see an obviously gay guy talking about how much they love Balenciaga, Céline Dion and Britney Spears in the most stereotypically high gay voice possible and who will be shocked to see the same gay is married to a man kek.
Kevin Hernandez
Rowling was describing the old fashioned buckled boots that men used to wear in the 17th and 18th centuries
Ryan Robinson
they're both ugly as sin
James Morales
>Was/is there any way to save this franchise?
Make it go full fujobait. Unironically. At least casting Hannibal Lecter as the bad guy somehow saved them.
Liam Perez
Eccentric, yes.
Flamboyant, no.
Wyatt Fisher
Those aren't boots
Ryan Roberts
Cope.
Shit taste alert!
Alexander Sullivan
I guess that all that controversy + covid really did something to the numbers.
Joseph Williams
>But don't put different plotlines together in a new series
They did exactly that because the fantastic beasts shtick was not selling.
Justin Richardson
Fine, he was wearing cowboy riding boots
