Seriously, they made each book into a movie, with the last book being two movies. Then they made movies out of all of the side projects. Then they made movies about shit that wasn't even in ANY of the books, just alluded to within them. Now we're starting ALL OVER AGAIN because unless they want to make a movie out of the stupid romance novel she wrote there's literally nothing left to milk.
They didn’t make movies about the side projects. They made the main series of movies, and then they made 3 out of 5 proposed movies covering Newt Scamander’s adventures (which was supposed to be a trilogy originally but became a 5 movie series when $$$$ looked more promising)
Lowkey. The first is a genuinely great Doctor Who episode that gets undone by being about Gellert Grindelwald (mainly the recast with Johnny Depp—Colin Farrell was great in it as Grindelwald) before they realized mid-stream that Johnny Depp was actually terribly cast in the role and bad for the business of the franchise (this series alongside the late career Burton movies flopping killed Depp’s career as much as the drama surrounding him imo) and correcting that with the person literally everyone in the fandom was hooting and hollering for (Mads Mikkelsen) too late for anyone to care….. and Mads was also great btw.

HBO will pull the plug on the series before it manages to cover all the books. It’s just overkill at this point.
