Det här förefaller vara ett fall av svansen som väger hunden. JKR ville ha tillräckligt med utrymme för att berätta en lång historia, en som i hennes sinne spänner över 5 filmer och körs nästan 20 år , vilket ledde till Dumbledores ikoniska duell med Grindlewald år 1945. Det är fallet 1945-19 = 1926.
Originally, to tell you the truth, we said a trilogy as a placeholder. We wanted to be honest with people that it was going to be one movie, but we were feeling our way. And then there came a point in the drafting of the story where I said to David, 'This feels like five movies.' And I'm feeling pretty certain about that. It's ambitious to tell it in five because we're spanning 19 years. But I can see an arc. So, that's how it happened, it came out of the material.
