[HPforGrownups] Expanded Potter stories

I don't know what others mean, but I feel as though she never really
thought out the Fantastic Beasts movie series while writing the original
series. She came back to do so because HP has been such a tremendous hit.
Which is fine. But it *feels *different.

When she began the original HP series, she had a rough outline of all the
major points from the beginning. I don't believe she had in mind the
history of Grindelwald and that whole phase of wizarding world history,
much less the particulars for specific people beyond Dumbledore versus
Grindelwald, and that they had started out as friends, possibly (likely)
even lovers. So going back, she is trying to create a feeling of
continuity, of tying the two series together through certain characters and
from asides that occurred in the original series referring back to this
time period. But it doesn't fit as well.

She also put so much time, energy, and soul into the original series that
it is hard, if not impossible, to live up to the original. Or maybe we
expect even more of her now and our expectations are unrealistic (which is
a distinct possibility). But even if it is our impossible expectations, it
doesn't make the experience we have watching the movies the same as it was
for many of us first reading the original series in books.
