The Fantastic Beasts franchise has always been viewed with a degree of cynical skepticism, with Warner Bros. announcing five films right off the bat (inspired by a 128-page fictional textbook originally written for charity) reeking of a desperate attempt to keep milking the Harry Potter cash cow for as long as possible.
