'Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore' review: An aimless loss of magic

What has become of the Wizarding World, and why does it feel like it has lost its magic somwehat?

I’m not just talking about the events that unfold in The Secrets Of Dumbledore, but in real life as well. There seems to be a perpetual fog hanging over the entire franchise currently, partly due to the backlash against creator J.K. Rowling’s controversial anti-transgender views, and the fact that there hasn’t actually been some genuinely exciting or noteworthy films or shows for Harry Potter fans to enjoy since, well, the first Fantastic Beasts movie.
