The Secrets of Dumbledore was the lowest-grossing film of the entire Wizarding World franchise and had received mixed reviews, which could have contributed to the studio's decision if the rumors turn out to be true. (When asked about the future of the series, star Eddie Redmayne told NME in January 2023 that 'there's nothing that I'm aware of.') Warner Bros originally planned to make five Fantastic Beasts saga movies, but more recent reports suggest the series has ended at the third instalment. The third instalment of that series, titled The Secrets of Dumbledore, is out now to watch on Max in the US, and is set in 1932,

There are eight Harry Potter films, and three instalments in the Fantastic Beasts saga to date, all set decades before Harry, Ron and Hermione's adventures at Hogwarts.
