![]() ![]() ![]() Thankfully, Crimes of Grindelwald finds a solution by bringing in Steve Kloves, the scribe best known for working on every Harry Potter movie except Order of the Phoenix. While the Harry Potter author took a backseat role in the original run of movies, she penned the first two Fantastic Beasts scripts on her own to little critical acclaim. That revelation failed to impress audiences, suggesting that Rowling’s role as sole screenwriter was dragging Fantastic Beasts down. Instead, it dwelled on wizard melodrama, ending with villain Gellert Grindelwald’s (then Depp, now Mads Mikkelsen) shocking reveal that Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller) was a member of the Dumbledore family - the brother of Albus (Jude Law) and son of Aberforth (Richard Coyle), to be exact. PicturesĪmong its infractions, Crimes of Grindelwald’s gravest was its failure to focus the story on the actual beasts. Mads Mikkelsen replaces Johnny Depp as Fantastic Beasts villain, Grindelwald.
