Critics Consensus

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore avoids some of the pitfalls that plagued its predecessor, but lacks much of the magic that drew audiences into the wizarding world many movies ago.

Audience Consensus

It's a little long and the effects might be better than the story, but for fans of the franchise, this is a fairly Fantastic sequel.

I really enjoyed the insight into Dumbledore, his relationship with his brother, and his affair with Grindelwald when they were teenagers. Mads Mikkelsen was good as Grindelwald, but I miss the edge that Johnny Depp brought to the role. Very enjoyable.

Seemed like some parts were irrelevant to overall (should have been left on the cutting room floor) but overall was better than I had anticipated without Depp. Not my favorite in this trilogy though, I think it got a little lost on what it could have been.

The movie was great, it explains a lot of what was hinted at at the end of the second movie.

The Week

It's very clear, watching these movies, that they're adapted from a branded guidebook. They have all the dramatic interest and excitement of a manual.

El Nuevo Día (Puerto Rico)

[Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore] focuses more on generating nostalgia for the magic of the Harry Potter films than on giving it a creative spark to sustain the entertainment of its plot. [Full review in Spanish]
