Rowling’s universe just got bigger and more complex, but Yates never forgets to sprinkle stardust on top.

Screen International - Fionnuala Halligan
There’s real magic here, and nothing fake about the emotions which guide it.

IGN - David Griffin
Another strong entry in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World saga. Rowling has improved upon the first Fantastic Beasts film by fleshing out her characters in a way that’s engaging, though not everybody receives as much attention. Both Johnny Depp and Eddie Redmayne are - forgive the pun - fantastic in their perspective roles.

The Hollywood Reporter - Caryn James
The sequel has better and at times galvanizing special effects, a darker tone and a high-stakes battle between good and evil. Best of all, its characters are more vibrantly drawn, and tangled in relationships that range from delightful to lethal.

TheWrap - William Bibbiani
The Crimes of Grindelwald probably had enough plot to drive a four-hour mini-series, but even so, what we get is often absorbing and grand. The sense that this magical world is actually, well, fantastic is finally back in the series.
