Forbes magazine published a critical article on the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise – and the end of the “Harry Potter” saga spin-off.

Since the inception of the new film franchise, which has had five films confirmed, countless controversies have started to surround the production.

The first of these was the hiring of Johnny Depp to live out the villainous Grindelwald: Depp had faced a difficult trial alongside ex-wife Amber Heard, accused of sexual and domestic violence. The actor ended up being “fired” from the third last-minute film and will receive nearly 83 million reais for filming a single scene from the production.

The second rebelled with Ezra Miller. The interpreter of Credence Barebone / Aurelius Dumbledore has been spotted assaulting a fan and since then fans have called for his removal from the saga.
