The three Fantastic Beasts movies are clearly the least loved releases in the Wizarding World franchise. This is possibly why the second movie suffered a near 20% drop at the box office compared to its predecessor, while the third entry in the series dropped a further 38% after that (according to figures on Box Office Mojo). Many of the motifs of the Potter stories such as the hero's quest invoking objects that confer invisibility, magical animals and trees, a forest full of danger and the recognition of a character based upon scars are drawn from medieval French Arthurian romances. [25] Other aspects borrowed from French Arthurian romances include the use of owls as messengers, werewolves as characters, and white deer. [25] The American scholars Heather Arden and Kathrn Lorenz in particular argue that many aspects of the Potter stories are inspired by a 14th-century French Arthurian romance, Claris et Laris, writing of the "startling" similarities between the adventures of Potter and the knight Claris. [25] Arden and Lorenz noted that Rowling graduated from the University of Exeter in 1986 with a degree in French literature and spent a year living in France afterwards. [25]
