Do you think Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be as good as Harry Potter?

I think it's possible that Fantastic Beasts might actually end up being better than the Harry Potter movies. JK Rowling is supplying the script, and it's a script this time, not a book. I think that will make all the difference in the world. As the series progressed the books got longer and longer, so much so that the movies had to cut a lot of things out which made the later movies feel disjointed, and hard to follow. With the movie originating with a script instead of a book, the movie will hopefully have a proper pace.

I think the quality will be as good, and fans will love it, but I don't think it will be as popular or successful as the Harry Potter series itself, simply because it is not Harry Potter, just in the same world.

I agree that they likely won't be as popular, but I don't think that will change the fact they could still be better movies, even if they are less successful. You know what I mean?

I agree, and that is also what I said.

Probably not but I'd still watch it.
