How Harry Potter (and Fantastic Beasts) Movies Compare in Rotten Tomatoes

screenrant.com:

There were eight Harry Potter movies between 2001 and 2011, and now Wizarding World is back with the Fantastic Beasts movies, here's how they all rank in Rotten Tomatoes. The Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone book was published in 1997 and it wasn't long before the movie adaptation came along, with each movie seeing mostly positive reviews.

Even though the movies don't focus on Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), the franchise is being continued with the Fantastic Beasts prequels, which are loosely inspired by a guide book written in the style of an in-universe textbook written by Newt Scamander (with J.K. Rowling actually writing the real-world version).
