Published: April 14, 2022, 1 p.m.

b"Hey everyone, its time to finally return to the Wizarding World! Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore has finally released in theatres around the globe. This is franchise that I have not really gotten to talk about in my almost-3 years on this platform but this is a franchise that means SO MUCH to me. I've been watching these movies since I was like 4 years old and I have so much nostalgia from like a decade or so back, watching every movie constantly and reading the books. I was also a big fan of the first Fantastic Beasts movie and enjoyed the second one, just on first viewing. Since then, I've liked the movie LESS AND LESS and grown less enchanted with the future of the franchise. But the trailers for this third film have been great so I rewatched all 10 of the previous films and have been getting excited for this movie.
