Fantastic Beasts and The Crimes of Grindelwald is probably the worst movie in 'Harry Potter' franchise

It's not for nothing that Crimes of Grindelwald has the worst box office history in the entire Harry Potter film franchise, and these are just a few of the flaws that explain why.

First things first - don't let the headline trick you into thinking this is the title of the third installment of the Fantastic Beasts movie-trilogy; although, personally I believe this should have been a more befitting title of the second part. Titled 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald', this fantasy movie revolving around the magical world of J.K. Rowling is a crime against Potterheads. Especially because much like Sirius Black we did our waiting! Maybe not 12 years of it, but a solid seven years for sure, and this just seems like a poor consolation prize for not having anything Harry Potter related releases on the horizon.
