The Fantastic Beasts franchise recently released its third film installment Secrets of Dumbledore, which manages to fix six major issues from the previous movies. From mending Queenie Goldstein's character development to adjusting the portrayal of Gellert Grindelwald, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore succeeds in restoring the gravity of its elaborate world-building. The film's accomplishments of repairing problematic character and plot-based elements help elevate it into arguably the best installment in the franchise.
Secrets of Dumbledore starts its story by establishing the importance of a new beast, The Qilin, a magic creature resembling a deer that elects whoever is purest of heart to be the wizarding world's official Supreme Mugwump.

Secrets of Dumbledore's emotional center hinges on the relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, as well as the clarification of Credence Barebone's backstory.
