Spoiler alert: if you have yet to see the film, be aware that plot particulars are discussed in the post beneath. Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them is a terrible blockbuster film. As a spin-off to the critically successful Harry Potter franchise, it’s a low rent continuation coasting by on a series of half-baked world-building concepts stitched together by the creative team that made the original films work.
