Fantastic Beasts is a film series directed by David Yates, based on the eponymous novel by J. K. Rowling and a spin-off prequel to the Harry Potter novel and film series. The series is distributed by Warner Bros. and consists of three fantasy films as of 2022, beginning with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) and culminating with Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022).[4][5] Following the 2001–11 Harry Potter film series, Fantastic Beasts marks the second film series in the Wizarding World shared media franchise.[6]

The series was mainly produced by David Heyman, and stars Jude Law and Eddie Redmayne as the two leading characters: Albus Dumbledore and Newt Scamander, with Colin Farell, Johnny Depp and Mads Mikkelsen all portraying the third leading character: main antagonist Gellert Grindelwald. Ezra Miller, Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler, Victoria Yeates, Jessica Williams, Callum Turner, and Richard Coyle also star.[7] Rowling wrote the screenplays for each film, with Steve Kloves returning from the Harry Potter film series to co-write the third film: The Secrets of Dumbledore. Production has taken place over six years, with the main story arc following Dumbledore and his agents' quest to overcome Grindelwald, his lost love, as the First Wizarding War and Second World War approach.[8]

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was released worldwide on 18 November 2016, with The Crimes of Grindelwald following on 16 November 2018, and The Secrets of Dumbledore next releasing on 15 April 2022, delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The series has recieved mixed critical reception being deemed inferior to the positively reviewed Harry Potter films.

Origins

Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling wrote and produced the three films of Fantastic Beasts, with Steve Kloves.

In 2010, a film adaptation of the Derek Landy novel series Skulduggery Pleasant starring Johnny Depp as the title character was in development at Warner Bros.; immensely disliking the script, series author Derek Landy bought back the rights by December.[9] In April 2022, elaborating on the original script's content while promoting Until the End, Landy revealed that it had contained numerous references to the events of Harry Potter in the context of it being set in the same fictional universe, featuring the characters having wands instead of wield magic out-of-hand as in his books.[10][11][12] On 12 September 2013, two years following the conclusion of the Harry Potter film series with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, Warner Bros. announced a new attempt as expanding the fictional universe of Harry Potter into a "Wizarding World", with J. K. Rowling developing a script for a prequel film, titled after a "textbook" Rowling had written in 2001 to be sold to raise money for the British charity Comic Relief, based on the in-universe textbook of the same name from her Harry Potter novel series. Set seventy years before the adventures of Harry Potter and following the adventures of its fictional author Newt Scamander, the film would mark both Rowling's screenwriting debut and the first intended installment in a new series, tentatively entitled Fantastic Beasts.[13] According to Rowling, after Warner Bros. suggested an adaptation of either Fantastic Beasts or Quidditch Through the Ages, she wrote a rough draft of the script in twelve days. She said, "It wasn't a great draft but it did show the shape of how it might look. So that is how it all started."[14] In March 2014, it was revealed that a trilogy was scheduled with the first instalment set in New York,[15] and seeing the return of producer David Heyman, as well as writer Steve Kloves, both veterans of the Potter film series.[16][17]

In June 2015, Eddie Redmayne was cast in the lead role of Newt Scamander, the Wizarding World's preeminent magizoologist.[22] Other cast members include: Katherine Waterston as Tina Goldstein, Alison Sudol as Queenie Goldstein, Dan Fogler as Jacob Kowalski, Ezra Miller as Credence Barebone, Samantha Morton as Mary Lou Barebone, Jenn Murray as Chastity Barebone, Faith Wood-Blagrove as Modesty Barebone, and Colin Farrell as Percival Graves / Gellert Grindelwald.[23] Principal photography began on 17 August 2015, at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden.[24] After two months, the production moved to St George's Hall in Liverpool, which was transformed into 1920s New York City.[25] Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was released worldwide on 18 November 2016.[26]

The second film was announced in March 2014.[15] In October 2016, it was revealed that Yates and Rowling would return as director, and screenwriter and co-producer, and Redmayne would be returning to play the lead role of Newt Scamander in all the series' films.[27] In November 2016, it was confirmed that Johnny Depp will have a starring role in the sequel, reprising his cameo role as Gellert Grindelwald from the first instalment, replacing Farrell.[28] Later that same month it was also announced that Albus Dumbledore would be appearing in future instalments, albeit with a younger actor for the prequel film series, intended to eventually supplant Redmayne's Scamander as protagonist of the series.[29] In April 2017, it was confirmed that Jude Law had been cast as Dumbledore.[30] with the film being short and set in New York City, Britain, and Paris.[31] Principal photography began on 3 July 2017, at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden,[32] and wrapped on 20 December 2017,[33] with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald releasing on 16 November 2018.[34]

Originally scheduled to begin filming in July 2019, and released in November 2020, production of the third film was pushed back to late 2019 to allow more time polishing the script and re-plan the future of the Fantastic Beasts series.[35] In 2018 on Twitter, Rowling promised that the third film would give answers to the questions left unsolved in the first two. In October 2019, Dan Fogler claimed that principal photography on the third film would begin in February 2020.[36] In November 2019, it was announced that the script had been written by both Rowling and Steve Kloves, the latter of whom returned after being absent as a writer on the first two. On 16 March 2020, the very day that principal photography would begin, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted Warner Bros. to postpone production of its third Fantastic Beasts film.[37] This made the film be postponed again, from a 12 November 2021[38] to a 15 July 2022 release.[39] On 20 August 2020, filming was confirmed to start in September.[40] On 20 September 2020, Eddie Redmayne confirmed that filming was two weeks underway with safety precautions in place to keep the cast and crew safe from COVID-19.[41] On 25 November 2020, Warner Bros. announced that Mads Mikkelsen would replace Depp in the role of Grindelwald.[42] On 3 February 2021, filming in the UK was shut down after a production member tested positive for COVID-19.[43][44][45] Composer James Newton Howard confirmed later that month that production had wrapped filming.[46] In September 2021, the film's release was pushed forward three months to 15 April 2022, alongside the announcement of the full title: Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.[47] It premiered one week early in a few European and Asian countries.[48][49]
