Imagine if a series called "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was actually about fantastic beasts, and perhaps even where to find them. Seriously all they had to do was a magical nature documentary.
That's what I was expecting to see when I watched the first movie. The book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was just fictional textbook on magical animals.
especially as she announced the location of other wizarding schools around that time, thought newt would travel the world finding and researching magical creatures while interacting with different wizarding cultures.
Robbie Reijman dude do you need a hug or something? That’s not even what the word baby means but let’s forget that for now. What’s wrong man? Are you having a bad week?
Patrick Dy she probably didn’t because as we all know a mothers love can deflect a killing curse but I like to think she did do it and that’s why he gets his second in command to do the killing so if the mother loved the baby a prophecy would’ve said the baby grows up to kill his second in command
>Hogwarts did not always have bathrooms The entire plot of the chamber of secrets is that one of the founders of hogwarts had created a secret chamber in a bathroom when he created the school, so he could shove his snake in there
The worst part about it truly is that Anthony Goldstein wasn't even a spur of the moment lapse of judgment - the guy actually existed since book 1 and it's just how Rowling names people... ofc we knew that since Cho Chang, but yeah.
I'm still so utterly baffled by JK's response to the question of "are there jewish kids at hogwarts?" Instead of just going with the obvious, "Hogwarts teaches every magical kid in the British Isles. Of course there's jewish students." She just goes, "you get one."
Some people flourish on Twitter in a bad way. Rowling and Trump immediately come to mind. They aren’t terribly different. I think you’re right, Bleeding Masque-narcissism.
The funniest part about the “was there ever a *insert nationality* character” joke is the fact that the token Chinese character was named Cho Chang and the Irish character was named Seamus Finnegan
Another stupid explanation says, it wasn't barred by a bathroom at 1st, but later bathrooms were made on top of it. Problem. > who engraved the snake on the tap?
@@pakito546 That was like: J.K : " Then jacob comes in and ..." Some randome guy who actually knows the story: "Yeah but didnt he forget evrything?" J.K : "Ah yeah, no problem he didnt forget anything" Some randome guy who actually knows the story: "Wait... WHAT???!"
The problem with Rowling is, because she obviously never had a plan for the HP series and universe, she makes her plan up as she goes along and it shows in the bad worldbuilding overall. It has shown in plotholes in the HP series and ,more damning, in the fantasic beasts series.
You'd think that the wizarding world (in Harry Potter) would have wanted to stop World War 2. It's weird that they didn't consider that Grindelwald ACTUALLY HAD A POINT.
@@bobthet-rex2718 I was actually willing to side with Grindelwald before he floated the possibility of killing millions of people. And, I'd go further than that and say that GRINDELWALD was the rational one.
As far as I can remember, it was in Harry Potter that Grindelwald was behind Hitler in the first place. I could be wrong, but as far as I remember it was mentioned somewhere.
@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.
First of all, how surprised are we given Harry Potter was a mediocre magician who defeated the worst dark lord history had seen. Also, it’s specified that Newt Scamander is a very gifted magic user who is also very intelligent, and he’s good friends with Dumbledore and his brother is one is a big deal in the security department. Way more believable than Harry Potter.
These creatures were actually incredibly powerful. Bite of Billywig (blue beatle from1rst movie) makes one levitate, Thunderbird can cause a storm, Demiguise is invisible and can see fututure 1 minute ahead. You could do a lot with it provided you are creative. But WB recently just isn't. They made some really questionable decisions like firing Johny Depp from 2nd movie just because of gossips and not making Henry Cavill Superman
Another continuity error is making Dumbledore the DADA teacher. He wasn't. He was the Transfiguration teacher before he became Headmaster after Dippet dipped out. IDK, just a small thing that really pisses me off
This is written by JK Rowling as well. The author herself forgot about her own book lol. Like, I get it if she can't remember details like that because of how much material there is to commit to memory, but at that point just do what George R.R. Martin does. He hires a group of dedicated fans who will proofread whatever he's working on so that they can point out any small details that may contradict his previous books.
Going off movie continuity alone, Dumbledore seems much older in Tom Riddle's memory than he does here, so he _could_ have changed his position for whatever reason. Weak explanation I know but still
imagine if we had a gag series where Newt is like Steve Irwin going around showing us animals in the wizarding world and he is collecting information for his book. so much wasted potential lol
professor X: what´s your power? J.K Rowling: I can rewrite the past of fictional characters. gay professor X: Interesting Credits to the unknown creator of this joke. Thank you for making us laugh so much.
Wait, if wizards just didn't have plumbing till the 18th century when plumbing was invented by muggles how did Salazar Slytherin utilize the plumbing system to lead to his secret chamber? Also, they just went wherever they stood? Nobody ever thought to step outside, or utilize the chamber pots that absolutely existed in those days?
@world leader It doesn't matter what excuse you use. One could say "biology isn't bigotry" to justify racial segregation or any other blatant discrimination. Nobody's falling for it.
I'm honestly stunned that a published author can't come forward and say "I know I said Hermione is white in the books, the jackets for the books show her as being white, and I picked a white actress to play her in the movies, but I'm fine with a black actress playing her in the show so long as she's a good actress" or "Hogwarts takes in students from across the UK and Ireland so there's students of every major religion in attendance" And instead feels the need to retcon her own work to shoehorn in diversity she didn't add before, or pull some stereotypical name out of a hat and claim they're the token (minority) character
Sounds like she doesn't do it with content. i felt it was someone came to her backdoor and gave ultimatum to her to made it diverse or they would cut her funding. Which you could see at the end, very half-ass with.
yeah deadass i spent the entire film super confused n telling myself 'yh im just dumb ill get it later when i google it' then the twist happens and im like 'wtf' so later i google it anyways and i sigh in relief cuz im not dumb its just a dumb ass film
Small complaint: he did SEE the end of the last film? Where a small part of the Obscurus was seen escaping the subway? And how Jacob was beginning to remember in the bakery?
@@idisplaypace2411because it's a joke about WW2 (Adolf). "Of course she wouldn't put him in Slytherin" because Slytherin is the house with most evil wizards coming out, while Hufflepuff (as far as I know) never had an evil wizard in history. 😐 It's not that hard.
Fans: No he's not you even said he was half-giant in the books-- JK Rowling: Yeah but you never see him take off his clothes so you wouldn't know that, he could be lying
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.
@@Rebecca_2004Personally I think the story itself is a bit bare bones but I would agree that the characters are very unique and interesting. Especially all the professors! I think they did an excellent job of coming up with very interesting and captivating professors that are on par with the professors in the books.
Have you seen a very potter musical? Cho Chang, Domo arigato! Cho Chang, Gung Hey Fat Choy, Chang! Happy Happy New Year, Cho Chang! [DIALOGUE] Ginny: Who's that? Ron: That's Cho Chang-that's the girl Harry's totally been in love with, since freshman year. Hermione: Yeah, but he won't say anything to her. Ron: Yeah, you never tell a girl you like her, it makes you look like an idiot! Ginny: Konnichiwa, Cho Chang. It is good to meet you. I am Ginny Weasley. Lavender: Bitch, I ain't Cho Chang! Ron: That's Lavender Brown! Racist sister! *Ron claps his hands in front of Ginny's face to scare her* Cho: That's alright! I'm Cho Chang y'all.
@@jeffbezos3200 he was a pretty ambitious guy. Dead set on his dream of becoming a scarer in Monsters University, extremely obsessed with getting the scare record in Monsters Inc. I’d say that Mike was a pretty Slytherin dude.

She could have just said: "Although I never wrote any Jewish characters in my books, I can confirm that people of all backgrounds are welcome at Hogwarts." Wow, that was really easy!
for hermione, she could've also just said "yea, i originally wrote hermione as white, but i believe she can be portrayed by anyone of any race" but no, jk rowling is an idiot and thinks the only way people will accept diversity is to retroactively change her series and say that it was inclusive the whole time actually
that's the thing I don't understand. Jk Rowling is definitely at fault here but audience are too. If you think a white person can be replaced with a black person, then it's also okay to replace the black ones with white ones, replacing asians with white people and indians with black people. I think ethnicity is a very important aspect of humans and plays a big role in the characteristics of a character. I would never want Hermione to be played by a black actor just for the sake of wokeness just like I'll never want the parvati sisters to be played by white actors.
@@m143_sumaiyatabassum6 I feel like this argument doesn't fully work though. We've gotten a point where we hold onto a lot of history in our culture. A problem with that though is that a lot of this culture has been made with white people within the fore front because white people had control over the entertainment industry and what not. I dont think its wrong, as me a white person, to think that white characters can be replaced with poc (and other genders, sexualities, what not and whatever) (if done respectfully), mostly due to centuries of modern culture overly representing white people, even in roles that they shouldn't. Its not just "wokeness" but literally making characters more representative. And its a hard thing to see because we grew up with a prominent amount of white people in the media we consume.
Grindelwald: "We have to kill all the muggles in order to prevent some of them from killing other muggles. Look! If we don't, they'll build this weapon called an 'atom bomb' that has the potential to destroy entire cities! Now stand back as I summon these two magic dragons with the intent of destroying this entire city." Makes perfect sense.
They wrote themselves into a corner basically. Grindlewald had a point and they realised they made him seem almost heroic so they had to have him do a random villainous thing to contradict it.
They wanted him to be a well intentioned extremist villain like X-Men's Magneto who had good intentions but went too far and went the wrong way about it but they failed at making him that.
I like how in the original series Grindelwald went crazy mostly because of his powers provided by the elder staff. But I think that Ron and Dumbledore are the same person so don't listen to me.
The issue is that Voldemort is a long-established character, and the reveal of his origin is interesting and earned because of it. Revealing that a rando we've never met before (Leta) is the result of this magically coerced rape in an overdone rushed flashback with too many twists compacted into it is just... yeah.
@@11tw48 I don't think thats a difference. Take out the fact that voldemort was born from a forced relationship and you still get a fair plot for Voldemort in turning out evil. (his muggle dad didn't gave two shits about him so he still has a motive). Ik that Voldemort's origin was like "omg he was conceived without love, therefore he is not able to feel love" but it's pretty much the same.
I would not be surprised if that was the new canon. Especially since Harry having part of Voldemort's soul would kinda make the whole thing incest which JK probably sees as progressive :P
Honestly, I think Fantastic Beasts would've worked better as a TV show, where we can see Newt and his friends get up to lots of different magizoological shenanigans and develop rather than trying to make Newt part of this big overarching plot that seems to drown him a bit. The whole Dumbledore/Grindelwald thing would work as a trilogy if Rowling focused more on taking them from their Godric's Hollow days up to the final duel and how their relationship becomes fraught as their ideals grow further apart. Really focus on the emotional core of the story and give more development to characters like Ariana and Aberforth rather than trying to retcon new characters and going for crazy plot twists
To add on to your idea. If they wanted to really connect the FB series with the harry potter series they could throw in hagrid into the series due to his fondness towards strange creatures like newt. Have hagrid be the muscle while newt be the brains
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.
I'm sorry, is this a defense? She dropped in a stereotypically named Jewish kid in TWO lines in a seven-book series. At that point WTF is the point? That's not a character. That's a racist Jewish insert. That's a name, not a character.
As a zookeeper in real life, I too would resent being forced into working for Interpol against my will in a situation I have no relevant skills for. I already really didn’t like the film, but Newt caving and joining the fight just extra rubs me the wrong way. I hate the magic and real nazis as much as anyone if not more, but I’m low on the necessary skills to fight them directly. Let us be with the animals!
Sucks that his house dorm is at the top of a tower and, you know, all the moving staircases that are the main way to move around the different levels of the castle
I liked the first one a lot too. There was another TH-camr that made a whole video essay about Newt Scamander's kindness and how it's a counter to typically hyper masculinity that main male characters tend to fall into.
That's exactly why I liked Newt in the first movie. He honestly reminded me of the Doctor from Doctor Who a lot, like I could see Eddie Radmayne as playing a really good version of the Doctor
It would be amazing! The Brazilian school is in the middle of the Amazon forest and the students are specialized in magizoology and herbology. It would totally make sense if Newt just went there to study the creatures.
Yes I remember he was the guy with the IKEA interieur and the Swedish meatballs. What do you mean it is not in the book? Sven Svenson us a character that exists between the lines.
Hans Christian Nazi Müller is clearly my favourite german character in Harry Potter... I also heard that the third part takes place in Berlin... I didn't want to watch the movie initially because y'know JK doesn't rly like people like me. But I want to know just how much she managed to butcher my Country and the introcacies of it's history.
@@aspookyeel I saw it because I hate myself, and I can confirm you barely notice the movie happens in Berlin. Also she dropped the whole WW2 thing for some reason, and it became a story on why should minorities stay hidden and revolutions are evil. It would be less subtle if magic cops destroyed Grindelwald's defensive spell "Stonewallius"
@@JoeyScraggy She probably dropped the ww2 thing because it would require her to actually portray minorities. And yeah yikes, sounds like JK alright... Also nice one on the stonewallius joke. Well, I might see it someday on a 'legal' site because I'm just too curious for my own good.
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.
But maybe Gellert just can defend from legilimency so well. Also in the 1rst movie we can see that those nameless MACUSA folks who disarmed Gellert were in fact his followers. Otherwise why would they dramatocally stop so as to let Gellert have his last word with Newt? How else would Gellert's followers knew the track of testral carriage that goes to Azkaban? First movie was very well written.
I knew he wasn't the DADA teacher, I was excited to see him in his teaching position but forgot what he actually taught. Thank you for being the other person here who read the books.
It makes no sense, during the six book we actually have Tom Riddle talking about the actual defense teacher that was about to retire because he was too old
The very ending of the first Fantastic Beasts was awesome. Jacob in his new bakery with baked goods resembling all of Newt's magical creatures in his zoo. Then, Queenie walks in to the shop, makes eye contact with Jacob, and the the movie ends with a closeup of Jacob's face changing from confusion to recognition. One of the prevailing themes of the Wizarding World is the magic of love, as Dumbledore loves to explain to everyone because nobody seems to understand it. The obvious answer for Jacob's memory returning is that it was out of his love for Queenie, in fact, that was the answer that the first Fantastic Beasts strongly hinted at. But no, they just went with a stupid explanation about the potion and left it at that. Super lame.
I love the first fantastic beast movie. I think I've watched it more than 10 times. But the second one not so much. But I still enjoyed it though. And cant wait for the third one to come out
“Just admit that you made a story about straight white kids in the 90’sand stop lying to us”. Thank you. I hate when people do they instead of just creating a new story introducing new diverse characters. 🙌🏿
Should just do it like Rick Riordan. Just write new characters or build them to arrive to a point instead of changing the rules you've already established
@@teddythekingofbears because newt doesn't want power. Also did you forgot that it is like dumbeldors special move to see more in people then they see in themselves.
@@aaronlo5799 That may be, but I still don't see Newt being important in this whole Grindelwald thing at all. Ultimately it's Dumbledore's destiny to beat Grindy and have him arrested, and Newt is just along for the ride. That doesn't mean Newt needs to be a major factor in the First Wizard War. I mean, Ezra Miller has more potential than Newt, and if the Wizard Government should want someone this badly, it should be Ezra Miller. Not Newt.
The Jewish guy actually existed in the books, hes actually mentioned pretty often. But making him Jewish is still weird, considering wizards don't follow muggle religions.
@@Qert-jd7ot why dont wizards follow muggle religions? Also hisethnicity can be jewish by being born to jewish parents. It doesnt matter what faith he believes in, hes still a jew
Q. Ert It’s never implied that wizards don’t follow “muggle religions.” “Muggle religions” would probably be all the ones invented after wizards went into hiding.
@@Qert-jd7ot To be fair though, there are wizards with two muggles as parents (like Hermione). If Anthony Goldstein grew up with two jewish muggle parents, it doesn't seem that far fetched that he'd share that religion (if he truly believes in it or not is another question). Aside from that, I do find it kinda hard to imagine that wizard-only families would have religious beliefs (I feel like religion and existing magic don't really mix), but then again there isn't really anything strictly against that possibility.
This is fun. No one: JK Rowling: Hermione and Ron were into bdsm the while time, and Hermione played Dom. It never said in the books that they weren't into it
No one: JK: The Sorting Hat was previously a man named Hatteus Sorte who was locked in Azkaban for being a paedophile but was released by Dumbledore to satisfy his repressed desire for Grindelwald in exchange for being transfigured into a hat once per year in order to touch young children's heads.
Just a quick thing I'd like to add: Nagini in the movies is portrayed as a reticulates python, which naturally lives in India and southeast Asia. So I think if they really had to turn her into a human, it was kind of a wasted potential that they didn't cast ex. an indian or thai person to play her. Not to mention the fact that the name Nagini also comes from indian.
@l.n.3372 do they tho? Is it ever confirmed that she's venomous? I wouldn't be surprised if Rowling didn't do her research (she also made the snake in the zoo wink, despite snakes not having movable eyelids), but I don't remember any scene that confirms it.
@l.n.3372 yeah but there was no talk about any envenomation, from what I remember he was hospitalized simply because of the sheer physical damage (cause again, Rowling doesn't know how snakes work).

(Cho, Dean, - dont know if the Books mentioned the Patiltwins beeing Indian tho - etc.) Even the Bookcovers depicted her as White oLo I dont know... Harry Potter was never about this. I can buy the Gay-Dumbledore stuff, its nice and I saw hints in the Book, but that Hermione is suddenly someone completely different.. No.
@@Kairos_Akuma This is exactly how I feel about it. She even retcons her retcons...I'm sure that when she first said about Dumbledore being gay, it was that he loved Grindleward and followed him at first due to that, but Grindleward just used those feelings without feeling the same way. Now it's "an intense sexual relationship"... That and the books weren't exactly lacking diversity to begin with, as you mentioned. (I don't think it was mentioned that the Patil twins were Indian but it was hella obvious from the names alone. I picked that up as a bloody Australian kid.)
@@TheDemocrab I understand the angle where good friends diverge from their path and one become evil while the other choose to be good. I was dead sure it will be a tale where Dumbledore have unrequited feelings for Grindelwald, and Grindelwald still treat Dumbledore as a friend and both want to pull each other to their sides. I can accept that.. But intense sexual relationship..... Like how does this enhance the story? I'm reading a story about good vs evil not 50 shades of grey. Their sex life doesn't enhance the story one bit especially if it is shoehorn haphazardly. Is this JK rowling depression acting out and she wanting acceptance or something
Studio: What can we do to make Grindelwald more intresting? JK Rowling: Maybe he can try to stop the holocaust by making another holocaust. Studio: Okay great, why no make him vape too.
@Adrijana Radosevic Yes, I get that the war was a lot more than the Holocaust, but I wasn't generalizing it; I did not say 'let's stop the war by making another Holocaust/Studio: Oh you mean stop the Holocaust by creating another Holocaust" all I was saying is that the Holocaust was part of the war and he plans on stooping said war, partially by creating another Holocaust. Just like the war was more than the Holocaust, I am sure Grindelwalds plans are more than a Holocaust, I am just talking about those two parts that they have in common. I am aware that the war was more than the Holocaust and never did I say that it wasn't, I am just pairing what these two things have in common; maybe I was over generalizing it and I am sorry for that but I understand what you are saying and never disagreed with it.
@@ethanjobson3817 I feel you. I especially hated the part, were the studio show the atomic bomb as a way to explain Grindelwalds morals.

Honestly as an HP fan, I adored the first Fantastic Beasts, I thought it was cute and enjoyable. If it had ended there, I would've been happy. It's just some sweet Hufflepuff helping his fur babies. That's all we wanted! The whole Gridlewald new wizarding war ruined it. No one asked for that and no one wanted it.
When the book was translated in China, her name was converted to "Zhang Qiu"(张秋) to make sense in Mandarin. It's like an OK name, not too great and not too common either. I never realized how stereotypical the original name sounds in English until I started to understand how Asians are represented in the English-speaking world.

The problem with Rowling is, because she obviously never had a plan for the HP series and universe, she makes her plan up as she goes along and it shows in the bad worldbuilding overall. It has shown in plotholes in the HP series and ,more damning, in the fantasic beasts series.

"We are now rooting for characters who are trying to stop a man who is trying to stop the holocaust from happening."
Great line lol.
You'd think that the wizarding world (in Harry Potter) would have wanted to stop World War 2. It's weird that they didn't consider that Grindelwald ACTUALLY HAD A POINT.
@Steel4 the funny part is that he really did and he actually didn't seem to be that bad of a guy (besides the killing part)
@@bobthet-rex2718 I was actually willing to side with Grindelwald before he floated the possibility of killing millions of people. And, I'd go further than that and say that GRINDELWALD was the rational one.
As far as I can remember, it was in Harry Potter that Grindelwald was behind Hitler in the first place. I could be wrong, but as far as I remember it was mentioned somewhere.
@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.
The plot is basically the equivalent of asking a biologist to join the CIA or he can't go to Borneo
Hahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
That would actually make for a fantastic movie
Oh, this is where Gulag was copied from.
First of all, how surprised are we given Harry Potter was a mediocre magician who defeated the worst dark lord history had seen. Also, it’s specified that Newt Scamander is a very gifted magic user who is also very intelligent, and he’s good friends with Dumbledore and his brother is one is a big deal in the security department. Way more believable than Harry Potter.
These creatures were actually incredibly powerful. Bite of Billywig (blue beatle from1rst movie) makes one levitate, Thunderbird can cause a storm, Demiguise is invisible and can see fututure 1 minute ahead. You could do a lot with it provided you are creative. But WB recently just isn't. They made some really questionable decisions like firing Johny Depp from 2nd movie just because of gossips and not making Henry Cavill Superman
Another continuity error is making Dumbledore the DADA teacher. He wasn't. He was the Transfiguration teacher before he became Headmaster after Dippet dipped out. IDK, just a small thing that really pisses me off
This is written by JK Rowling as well. The author herself forgot about her own book lol.
Like, I get it if she can't remember details like that because of how much material there is to commit to memory, but at that point just do what George R.R. Martin does. He hires a group of dedicated fans who will proofread whatever he's working on so that they can point out any small details that may contradict his previous books.

that's the thing I don't understand. Jk Rowling is definitely at fault here but audience are too. If you think a white person can be replaced with a black person, then it's also okay to replace the black ones with white ones, replacing asians with white people and indians with black people. I think ethnicity is a very important aspect of humans and plays a big role in the characteristics of a character. I would never want Hermione to be played by a black actor just for the sake of wokeness just like I'll never want the parvati sisters to be played by white actors.
@@m143_sumaiyatabassum6 I feel like this argument doesn't fully work though. We've gotten a point where we hold onto a lot of history in our culture. A problem with that though is that a lot of this culture has been made with white people within the fore front because white people had control over the entertainment industry and what not. I dont think its wrong, as me a white person, to think that white characters can be replaced with poc (and other genders, sexualities, what not and whatever) (if done respectfully), mostly due to centuries of modern culture overly representing white people, even in roles that they shouldn't.
Its not just "wokeness" but literally making characters more representative. And its a hard thing to see because we grew up with a prominent amount of white people in the media we consume.

Makes perfect sense.
They wrote themselves into a corner basically. Grindlewald had a point and they realised they made him seem almost heroic so they had to have him do a random villainous thing to contradict it.

Honestly, I think Fantastic Beasts would've worked better as a TV show, where we can see Newt and his friends get up to lots of different magizoological shenanigans and develop rather than trying to make Newt part of this big overarching plot that seems to drown him a bit.
The whole Dumbledore/Grindelwald thing would work as a trilogy if Rowling focused more on taking them from their Godric's Hollow days up to the final duel and how their relationship becomes fraught as their ideals grow further apart. Really focus on the emotional core of the story and give more development to characters like Ariana and Aberforth rather than trying to retcon new characters and going for crazy plot twists

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.

Or even just like a fake documentary..like a small slice of life harry potter tv series where they study the beasts, go to different schools
@@hstsvstyve omg it would be amazing if it was made in the documentary format!!!
@@hstsvstyve just like the fantastic beast books! Mostly informational!!
@@erikperhs_ goddamn your comment is making me even more curious, I'm craving it now
"Were there any Swedish students at Hogwarts?"
J. K. Rowling: "Yes, Odin Odinsson von Thorsson."
More like Erik Svensson XD
Yes I remember he was the guy with the IKEA interieur and the Swedish meatballs. What do you mean it is not in the book? Sven Svenson us a character that exists between the lines.
Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg
@@MariOmor1 i swear he has the most Swedish name ive ever heard.

“Are there any American students at Hogwarts?”
JKR: Yes, Ronald McDonald, Gryffindor.
Favorite spell: Engorgio
euh clearly ronald mcdonals is in hufflepuff
Hans Christian Nazi Müller is clearly my favourite german character in Harry Potter...
I also heard that the third part takes place in Berlin... I didn't want to watch the movie initially because y'know JK doesn't rly like people like me. But I want to know just how much she managed to butcher my Country and the introcacies of it's history.
@@aspookyeel I saw it because I hate myself, and I can confirm you barely notice the movie happens in Berlin. Also she dropped the whole WW2 thing for some reason, and it became a story on why should minorities stay hidden and revolutions are evil. It would be less subtle if magic cops destroyed Grindelwald's defensive spell "Stonewallius"
@@JoeyScraggy She probably dropped the ww2 thing because it would require her to actually portray minorities.
And yeah yikes, sounds like JK alright...
Also nice one on the stonewallius joke.
Well, I might see it someday on a 'legal' site because I'm just too curious for my own good.
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.
Or at least remember them.
But maybe Gellert just can defend from legilimency so well. Also in the 1rst movie we can see that those nameless MACUSA folks who disarmed Gellert were in fact his followers. Otherwise why would they dramatocally stop so as to let Gellert have his last word with Newt? How else would Gellert's followers knew the track of testral carriage that goes to Azkaban? First movie was very well written.
Better say, set limits so your story isn't over with just a well timed Abra Kadabra
J.K. Rowling made my childhood.
She then nuked it.

If it helps, think of JK Rowling (the author) and JK Rowling (the person) as two different entities
@@landlighterfirestar5550 Actually that's a good idea. At least it preserves the good memories of the book
Hang on. Real talk.
Why is Dumbledore teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts? He was the Transfiguration teacher. .___.
and how do you know that? She told you so...
This position was always short on hand and noone else wanted to be the substitute teacher?
Nikola Position wasn’t short on hand until Voldemort cursed the position which is way after all of this anyways
I knew he wasn't the DADA teacher, I was excited to see him in his teaching position but forgot what he actually taught. Thank you for being the other person here who read the books.
It makes no sense, during the six book we actually have Tom Riddle talking about the actual defense teacher that was about to retire because he was too old
Nobody:
J.K Rowling: the sorting hat had an affair with Newt Scammander
How the f*ck would that work
Don't worry about it. J.K Rowling will always find a way to ruin our childhood

You think the Sorting Hat stands up on its own because of magic?
It's not magic that makes the fabric stiff.
I’m starting to think I rewatch these far too often… but Marcus’s saltiness towards JK never ever ever gets old.
😂 Same
The very ending of the first Fantastic Beasts was awesome. Jacob in his new bakery with baked goods resembling all of Newt's magical creatures in his zoo. Then, Queenie walks in to the shop, makes eye contact with Jacob, and the the movie ends with a closeup of Jacob's face changing from confusion to recognition.
One of the prevailing themes of the Wizarding World is the magic of love, as Dumbledore loves to explain to everyone because nobody seems to understand it. The obvious answer for Jacob's memory returning is that it was out of his love for Queenie, in fact, that was the answer that the first Fantastic Beasts strongly hinted at. But no, they just went with a stupid explanation about the potion and left it at that. Super lame.
is that the ending of Fantastic Beasts? Gosh, I need to watch that movie again. I never saw that.
@Jett Lucas Hayes same i was surprised people didn't realize credence survived and it was soo obvious
actually in the book newt says that the potion will wipe all their BAD memories
I love the first fantastic beast movie. I think I've watched it more than 10 times. But the second one not so much. But I still enjoyed it though. And cant wait for the third one to come out
I know it’s a bit specific but the music that plays at the ending of the first movie is so good. Like I swear It gives me goosebumps every time
“Just admit that you made a story about straight white kids in the 90’sand stop lying to us”. Thank you. I hate when people do they instead of just creating a new story introducing new diverse characters. 🙌🏿
She is the worst author ever
@@byakuya786 she's become the most meme author ever. Used to be great but has gone downhill

She used to be great. Now... well... Dumbledore is gay... that’s all I have to say, it pretty much explains everything.
Should just do it like Rick Riordan. Just write new characters or build them to arrive to a point instead of changing the rules you've already established
“Why Newt?”
I think Newt is asking the same question whole movie
Exactly. He's not meant to be a fighter or the Chosen One like Harry Potter.
@@teddythekingofbears because newt doesn't want power. Also did you forgot that it is like dumbeldors special move to see more in people then they see in themselves.
@@aaronlo5799 That may be, but I still don't see Newt being important in this whole Grindelwald thing at all. Ultimately it's Dumbledore's destiny to beat Grindy and have him arrested, and Newt is just along for the ride. That doesn't mean Newt needs to be a major factor in the First Wizard War. I mean, Ezra Miller has more potential than Newt, and if the Wizard Government should want someone this badly, it should be Ezra Miller. Not Newt.
@@teddythekingofbears u are corect! the plot is bad written no doubt, but maybe not so bad like it looks at the first look

Big supporter of Grindelwald.
The Jewish guy actually existed in the books, hes actually mentioned pretty often. But making him Jewish is still weird, considering wizards don't follow muggle religions.
@@Qert-jd7ot why dont wizards follow muggle religions?
Also hisethnicity can be jewish by being born to jewish parents. It doesnt matter what faith he believes in, hes still a jew
Q. Ert It’s never implied that wizards don’t follow “muggle religions.” “Muggle religions” would probably be all the ones invented after wizards went into hiding.
@@Qert-jd7ot To be fair though, there are wizards with two muggles as parents (like Hermione). If Anthony Goldstein grew up with two jewish muggle parents, it doesn't seem that far fetched that he'd share that religion (if he truly believes in it or not is another question). Aside from that, I do find it kinda hard to imagine that wizard-only families would have religious beliefs (I feel like religion and existing magic don't really mix), but then again there isn't really anything strictly against that possibility.

Just a quick thing I'd like to add: Nagini in the movies is portrayed as a reticulates python, which naturally lives in India and southeast Asia. So I think if they really had to turn her into a human, it was kind of a wasted potential that they didn't cast ex. an indian or thai person to play her. Not to mention the fact that the name Nagini also comes from indian.
Yeah but the books and the movies make Nagini both venomous and a constrictor. They don't care about accuracy
@l.n.3372 do they tho? Is it ever confirmed that she's venomous? I wouldn't be surprised if Rowling didn't do her research (she also made the snake in the zoo wink, despite snakes not having movable eyelids), but I don't remember any scene that confirms it.
@@matyaskassay4346
She's venomous cuz she bit Arthur, remember
@l.n.3372 yeah but there was no talk about any envenomation, from what I remember he was hospitalized simply because of the sheer physical damage (cause again, Rowling doesn't know how snakes work).
@@matyaskassay4346
No. It directly mentioned that the venom was dissolving the Muggle stitches that Arthur foolishly allowed his healer to test on him. Molly gets angry that Arthur tried Muggle stitches.

Nice
Dicelord N so I put crimes...

You can be happy and think that it is already implied in the normal title.
I admit, by not having the title to be "The crimes of The Crimes of Grindelwald" is a crime in itself.
"She made Hermione black to appeal to black HP fans, and as a black HP fan myself, *it didn't work* "
Me: DAAAAAAMN!!! 🤣
I'm black too and it was like..... ok but why do we need this again?
@@denzelnganga1914 Yeah... I mean fine and dandy to have differences n Stuff, but then.....DO IT FROM THE BEGINNING. Hermione is hella white, or why did she choosed Emma to play her, when all the other Charakters "of ethinicty" where played by the correkt Actor as far as Im aware. (Cho, Dean, - dont know if the Books mentioned the Patiltwins beeing Indian tho - etc.) Even the Bookcovers depicted her as White oLo
I dont know... Harry Potter was never about this.
I can buy the Gay-Dumbledore stuff, its nice and I saw hints in the Book, but that Hermione is suddenly someone completely different.. No.
Calhaora Lightsbane Dean, Jordan, Patilt twins and Angelina, Kingsley, weren't white ...other than that idk who else
@@Kairos_Akuma This is exactly how I feel about it. She even retcons her retcons...I'm sure that when she first said about Dumbledore being gay, it was that he loved Grindleward and followed him at first due to that, but Grindleward just used those feelings without feeling the same way. Now it's "an intense sexual relationship"...
That and the books weren't exactly lacking diversity to begin with, as you mentioned. (I don't think it was mentioned that the Patil twins were Indian but it was hella obvious from the names alone. I picked that up as a bloody Australian kid.)
@@TheDemocrab I understand the angle where good friends diverge from their path and one become evil while the other choose to be good. I was dead sure it will be a tale where Dumbledore have unrequited feelings for Grindelwald, and Grindelwald still treat Dumbledore as a friend and both want to pull each other to their sides.
I can accept that..
But intense sexual relationship..... Like how does this enhance the story? I'm reading a story about good vs evil not 50 shades of grey. Their sex life doesn't enhance the story one bit especially if it is shoehorn haphazardly.
Is this JK rowling depression acting out and she wanting acceptance or something

JK Rowling: Maybe he can try to stop the holocaust by making another holocaust.

@Adrijana Radosevic Yes, I get that the war was a lot more than the Holocaust, but I wasn't generalizing it; I did not say 'let's stop the war by making another Holocaust/Studio: Oh you mean stop the Holocaust by creating another Holocaust" all I was saying is that the Holocaust was part of the war and he plans on stooping said war, partially by creating another Holocaust. Just like the war was more than the Holocaust, I am sure Grindelwalds plans are more than a Holocaust, I am just talking about those two parts that they have in common. I am aware that the war was more than the Holocaust and never did I say that it wasn't, I am just pairing what these two things have in common; maybe I was over generalizing it and I am sorry for that but I understand what you are saying and never disagreed with it.
@@ethanjobson3817 true, I mean pretty much both evil wizards is like Hitler in one way or another; Voldemort and Grindelwald.

That's all we wanted! The whole Gridlewald new wizarding war ruined it. No one asked for that and no one wanted it.

When the book was translated in China, her name was converted to "Zhang Qiu"(张秋) to make sense in Mandarin. It's like an OK name, not too great and not too common either. I never realized how stereotypical the original name sounds in English until I started to understand how Asians are represented in the English-speaking world.
It really irked me because one's a Korean surname and the other is a Chinese surname
