      @Dirk-Ulrich Heise Not really. Just that he had wizards to help him indoctrinate an entire nation and maybe even provide some ideas. After all, the number of people that died during the WWII would've played into Grindelwalds plan to 'exterminate' as many muggles as possible in a short amount of time. Think of him as more of a willing pawn...if he wasn't being controlled that is...the world will never know.

    As someone who recently googled the plot of Cursed Child lately and almost died from laughing, I think its relevant to mention that Cursed Child does NOT save Cedric Diggory via time travel, because actually turns out if Cedric had lived he would have felt humiliated about losing the tournament to a fourteen year old, and been so angry about it that he joined the Death Eaters and tried to kill Harry, with his involvement ensuring that Voldemort won the war.
    Also the whole thing was never actually about Cedric, it was Voldemort and Bellatrix's secret love child PRETENDING to be Cedric Diggory's cousin to kickstart the time travel nonsense with the goal of saving Voldemort's life and as a result preventing the massive amount of angst that comes from having been orphaned as a newborn. The only reason she knows about her real parents is because Bellatrix's actual husband was released from Azkaban and was weirdly really okay with his wife having cheated on him and had a child with someone else, so he happily informed her of her true heritage. They met exactly once when she was a young adult. This motivated her to dedicate her entire life to trying to rescue her father with time travel.
    I just find this all to be relevant information; if I have to know this shit, so does everyone else.

      Actually there were Ugandon students at Hogwarts. The largest wizarding school in the wizarding world is the one in Uganda which is called Uagado. They don't use wands in that part of the world, so they all can spellcast without them.
      Because transfer students are a thing, Uagado students can transfer to Hogwarts and vice versa. There's actually a character you meet in Hogwarts Legacy named Natty who is a transfer student from Uagado. Her mother was invited to be the new Divination professor at Hogwarts, so they both moved to Scotland.

    Honestly, the single most interesting film series they could make in the Wizarding World is “Hogwarts, A History,” where we actually see the four founding wizards and follow them through whatever conflicts they went through to establish the school. Maybe we could see Salazar Slytherin’s character start out as an ambitious but noble wizard and follow him as he descends into his obsession with wizard blood purity. THAT would have been interesting. I can even imagine what the cast might look like. Maybe Sean Bean as Godrick Gryffindor, Michael Fassbender as Salazar Slytherin, maybe Tilda Swinton as Rowena Ravenclaw, and someone like Natalie Dormer as Helga Hufflepuff. But no. We got Newt Scamander somehow following the weird drama between Dumbledore and Grindewald. Perfect.

      @@lila709 You are right. I checked the official website for HP Wizarding World (WW), Rowling mentioned that most schools are obscure and most wizards are home schooled. I applaud her effort for being inclusive, but her lack of understanding of other cultures (especially non-European ones) make it look more like a cover-up than a genuine gesture. It's OK for leaving gaps in areas that she is not familiar with. Just because she created the world doesn't mean she has to fill in every blank. The tricky part of being inclusive without knowing extensively the culture and people you want to talk about will offend them more so than excluding them. It's a series of books with characters featuring British teenagers and the setting is British school life, most people will understand that not everything they read applies to them. And everything was good before the "revision" and extra "do-you-knows" that just don't work.

      Respectfully, I don't think this point is valid.
      First of all, Grindelwald was proposing that they kill about 2 billion muggles to prevent the murder of 6 million in the holocaust, without actually saying that to his followers, which is a classic manipulative villain mastermind plan.
      Secondly, he has lied countless times in the trilogy, to Credence, to his followers etc. He literally lies in that very same scene when he says he's not a violent person. So when he claims that he's trying to stop WWII, to me it seems like the audience would realistically dismiss that as another lie to gain support from the hundreds of potential followers he could get from that room.

    One of the main problems I have with Harry Potter is the overload of magical elements. And yes, magic is the center of the Wizarding World, but when you introduce too many of those things, people will start saying, “Well, why didn’t they just apparate or use Floo powder? Why didn’t they just read Grindelwald’s mind, etc.” You can add magical elements into your fantasy world but set limits so it doesn’t have people asking questions.

    While I agree with a lot of what you say, I do want to point out a couple of things though :
    (1) Anthony Goldstein IS in the books, but like, only name dropped as the Ravenclaw Prefect in OOTP, and clearly not an actual character x)
    (2) It was blatantly obvious by the end of the first Fantastic Beasts film that Jacob was gonna get his memory back, with the whole "bad memory" thing and with the scene where Queenie is showing up in his bakery.
    (3) Accio is perfectly useable on living creatures, Harry uses it several times like this in the books (from the top of my mind, on a toad a couple times, and on Hagrid in DH). Although why JKR said in an interview that Accio could not be used on living beings, I couldn't say, I guess it's just the fastest thing she could come up with.
    (4) "We officially have magical sex crimes in Harry Potter" I mean... yeah? That was kind of the whole plot of the Half-Blood Prince, it's literally Voldemort's backstory x)
    (5) "Grindlewald just happens to be hosting a nazi rally where the characters were hanging out" no, he led them to this spot specifically, it's terribly written and super convoluted so it's not the most obvious but like, it was a "bait" or whatever to bring Credence to the rally and make him join him because only he knows who he is or whatever.
    (6) I'm surprised you didn't mention how stupid the very idea of the Blood Pact is. Like, beyond the fact that it absolutely ruins Dumbledore as a character, why, WHY, would Grindlewald make a Blood Pact that CAN BE BROKEN to prevent his most dangerous enemy from moving against him in a world where THE UNBREAKABLE VOW EXISTS. And it's not even that she forgot about the Unbreakable Vow (even though it would not be an excuse either), Yusuf Kama's only purpose as a character is that he made a fricking Unbreakable Vow to kill Corvus Lestrange. This is easily one of the most stupid, nonsensical part of the movie.
    Gods this film is so bad, and it's such a shame because imo the first film is really good. I would have 100% preferred more films about Newt Scammander roaming the world finding, helping, freeing magical creatures rather than this bullshit war with Grindlewald. The cast from the first film made such an awesome group of characters, I would have gobbled up any fun, light hearted adventures they would have embarked in to complete Newt's Pokédex.

    What made the first movie good is how it lived up to the name. It’s called Fantastic beasts and where to find them, and that’s what they did. Newt and Jacob went on a fun quest to find Newts magical creatures that escaped in New York. It had a fairly good and digestible plot that was entertaining and had good characters to go with it. But then the next two movies went into the lore of Dumbledores past with Grindlewald and idk it just completely strayed from the point of Fantastic beasts in general. JK Rowling should’ve made a separate franchise or even a single movie that goes more in depth into Dumbledores past. The Fantastic Beast franchise should’ve just been centered around Newt and his magical creatures. Heck I wouldn’t mind if they just made a show about Newt and him handling his magic beasts and having fun adventures with them (with help from Jacob and even Tina and Queenie).

      She used to write books, so she had plenty of time to think through all the details of the story and make it make sense. So when they were making the movies, they had a lot of elements to choose from, things to cut from the story or elements to combine with others to shorten the narrative to make sense.
      Now she writes film scripts, which is not exactly the same thing. Scripts are (I think) much shorter and less detailed, and she only has about a year to think about what comes next and organize those ideas into a "decent" story.
      The result is... A great disappointment.

    I actually totally believe Rowling had the idea for Nagini to be a human a long time ago. In the fourth book, Voldemort reveals that he has been drinking Nagini's milk to survive.
    Snakes can't be milked, so maybe the idea was that because Nagini is actually a snake-lady she can. But that is an absolutely horrifying thought, Rowling wasn't locked into this or anything. She had twenty YEARS to decide that was a terrible idea and just not put this character that receives no development and adds nothing to the story in this movie.
    And to be fair and balanced, I do think this actually creates an element of interest to her as a character. How does this snake-lady eventually become entangled with Voldemort? But we can't even do that because this is set 65 years in the past

    • @starkman78
      @starkman78 ปีที่แล้ว

      To "milk" a snake is to extract its venom. That is an occupation in itself and is the primary method of developing antidotes. In the books, the only explanation given for Nagini having elements of sentience was that she was a horcrux. Nagini being human is just another J.K. Rowling retcon (and an asinine one at that)
