The failure of FantasticBeasts 3 suggests that WB should move away from good-versus-evil wizard stories and focus on other corners of the WizardingWorld.
After a long run of dizzying success, the Wizarding World has been struggling for years now. The Harry Potter series received universal acclaim, attracting auteurs like Alfonso Cuarón and casting a spell on audiences of all ages. Results were instantly visible at the box office, with every film in the series grossing over $700 million and two — Philosopher’s Stone and Deathly Hallows – Part 2 — surpassing the $1 billion mark.
It could be easy to think that the answer is going back to Hogwarts, away from the adult witches and wizards that took the charm away from the movies. Others might suggest bringing Harry, Ron, and Hermione back — the so-called Golden Trio that carried the original franchise on their backs. However, the solution might not be so simple, especially with Rowling’s shadow looming large over the School of Witcraft and Wizardry.
Indeed, the Wizarding World has a black-and-white approach to heroism and villainy. You are either good or bad; there’s no in-between. Since we are living in the age of the antihero, what better time is there to introduce one to the world of Harry Potter? Perhaps a swashbuckler buccaneer or maybe a charming knight from medieval times? The U.K.
Some quidditch players aren’t even Potter fans; they’re in it for the thrill of the sport. Even if there are no flying brooms, quidditch is still exciting and extraordinary, inspiring devotion from loyalists and non-fans of the franchise alike. Quidditch is the perfect example of the Wizarding World going beyond Rowling’s original creation, becoming a thing capable of standing on its own.
Going international Rowling infamously spent very little time developing her Wizarding World beyond the U.K. The Fantastic Beasts franchise was supposed to expand beyond Europe, choosing New York as the setting for its first film. However, future entries returned to the Old Continent, visiting Paris and Berlin, but staying firmly within an English-speaking context.
South America shares a similar situation, with the Mayans and Aztecs steeped in fascinating mythology that could easily tie into magic. Countries in South America also share one magical school, Castelobruxo, located in the rainforest. That already sounds like an amazing setting for a Wizarding World movie, but things could become even better by adding action-adventure elements à la Indiana Jones.
