By skyforbes Rewatching the first as me and the partner watch the original series before this after a long time. It made me remember how awful the second movie was, where this couple, representing two very different types of people fall in love. It’s cute but tragic as Kowalski is still a regular human in a magical world of secrecy. So they obliviate all muggles including him. Queenie falls in love, and cannot get over her memory-wiped partner. She is already marginalized by wizard kind as a mind reader yet becomes Wizard fascism sympathizer/actor at the end of the sequel. While the first movie is downright charming, it is indicative of a different time, when JK Rowling was more revered, people accepted her goofy brand and the Wizardint world was fun. By expanding the movie into its confounding film franchise, it’s amazing a third got made at all (which I’ve probably seen but forget the details).
They’re only rebooting her Harry Potter series because CB Strike is too adult and not marketable enough. Ugh.
