This. Do you know the German saying "was kümmert mich mein dumm' G'schwätz von gestern?" Seems really fitting in her case. I enjoyed the movies in much the same manner I enjoyed the Hobbit movies - ignoring what bothers me for one reason or other, or what I don't care about, and enjoying what I like - which, admittedly, in Fantastic Beasts is not very much. Mainly the beasts. I hadn't realised that it was THAT bad, though. On the other hand, I'm not at all surprised: if you take a closer look, so much of her 'verse is unrealistic and doesn't bear closer examination etc. etc. I still love the Potterverse very much, but what counts for me as the Potterverse goes far, far beyond what JKR originally created, like I also said in my DW post today. I have to give one thing to JKR, though: the obvious omissions and things not properly thought through and so on made for a great basis to create fanon! ;op
