But Johnny Depp is no longer playing Grindelwald - that role has been recast with Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen.
Most of the original cast returns, including Eddie Redmayne as Newt, Dan Fogler as Jacob, and Jude Law as Dumbledore. You'll need to wait until April 15, 2022, to watch Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. You never met a monster you couldn't love." -Leta Lestrange Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore I'd say it's basically a standard high-budget film.Memorable quote: "Oh, Newt. Great special effects, good enough acting (I wouldn't go so far as to say it was amazing).
Overall, it was a decent enough movie though. It's an 800 page book! LOTR books were only 400-600 pages and the films were considerably longer than any of the harry potter films. Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't be the least bit disappointed if the film-makers simply came out and said "this book is too long to put into a single film with out leaving out a lot of the book and changing a lot of other parts, so we're releasing it in two films." It's completely understandable. I personally would love to see more of the "boring" parts of the book simply because it's interesting seeing a high-budget Hollywood interpretation of what was in the book. You don't get much of that when a 26 hour read is condensed into a 2.5 hour film.
I think a lot of what people enjoy is looking at the wizard world, seeing cool looking spells, and generally learning more about everything to do with the harry potter universe. It's just a tad short-sighted to say it wouldn't work with a harry potter film. Lots of "stories" have had to be split up into multiple films and they all worked great. Look at the matrix 2&3, look at pirates of the caribbean 2&3, look at LOTR (it's all one continuous story). But what can anyone reasonably expect? I went into this expecting exactly what I saw, it's still just a tad annoying hearing people talk about how impossible it would be to follow the book. So many great parts were skipped over, rushed with ridiculous cliché transition scenes, or simply changed because, apparently, it's impossible to include everything.
