Probably the biggest miss of the franchise was avoiding the titular "Fantastic Beasts" after the first movie. Plus the whole, bringing muggles into the fold - that's the kind of not-Harry content/world building that could have had legs.

But the went all, "Look! It's just like Voldemort!" And, "That's Dumbledore's brother or something - you remember Dumbledore, right?"
