In fact, for book fans, only one "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is recognized by the Harry Potter series. Alfonso Cuaron told the story so clearly that he didn't need to read the book or even the first and second movies.
A director like David Yates who sacrifices the story for the special effects will not work. He shoots only the original party can understand, and other audiences just treat them as fantasy movies.
Rowling's storytelling has always liked to ambush and leave hooks. The world is huge and complex, and it often involves up and down for decades.
The first part of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is to tell you that a new adventure has begun, and Mama will come to the US Ministry of Magic.
The second part is the real deal. New York, London, Paris, walking around in circles, the bright lines and dark lines are intricate and there are at least three pairs of emotional lines (not counting Grindelwald and Dumbledore). It's such a worthless piece of work for the plot.
Audiences who haven't watched the Harry Potter series are naturally stunned.
In the late Muggle World World War II, Dumbledore fought against Grindelwald. I am afraid that the Ministry of Magic will have to add another China?
Will David still be able to do it then?
Actually...if I can, I really want to read the story "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" first. Humor like "your eyes are like salamanders" is boring to perform, but you can't help laughing when you read it.
