<div dir="ltr">I agree that the Fantastic Beasts should have been written as a book or series of books before going on to become screenplays.

<p>I understand that Jo is writing the Fantastic Beast screenplays, and maybe I shouldn't have phrased things as not feeling nearly as part of the story...what I probably should have said was that I wish she had written a book or a series of books about Fantastic Beasts before writing the screenplay for movies...doing movies based on a very short story within the HP story just feels forced...the Cursed Child script also felt forced and quite honestly, unnecessary IMO.</p><div><br></div><div> </div><p></p>
