    Harry Potter and the Cursed Franchise

    What originated as one of the most quintessential series of novels of all time, the Wizarding World has faced challenges in attracting audiences and establishing itself as a significant movie franchise beyond its original story. Issues such as casting changes, pacing, and a general lack of appeal have contributed to the lackluster box office performance of the Fantastic Beasts movie series, resulting in the cancellation of the remaining two installments. In this episode of TCOC, we delve into the past, present, and future of the franchise, including the prospects of the trending Hogwarts Legacy video game, which offers a revitalizing perspective for the series.
