Newt is such a great protagonist. I love that he’s not some chosen one, or some hypermasculine badass. He’s shy and awkward and not even a particularly skilled wizard, he’s just a zoologist who got roped into all this mess. Makes such a nice change.
@@LiamCatterson actually the actor who plays him (aka: Eddie Redmaine) Said that he thinks that Newt us probably autist. And I agree with him. He is not very good interacting with other people and it's difficult to him to have physical contact. I think he's really adorable 😔💜
@@lillykawaiifox I didn't know about Eddie saying that but it was always a theory that I had as well. In addition to what you said, Newt also seems to avoid direct eye contact a lot of the time and when he tries he seems more uncomfortable with it.
I very much agree about him being an amazing offbeat protagonist, but he's actually a very skilled wizard. He's managed to separate Obscurials, a feat that was thought impossible, has immense magical skill in taming beasts and literal Dragons, has invented spells and even calls out Dumbledore when he tries to manipulate him. Newt is a very accomplished wizard in his own right with a particular set of skills that not even Dumbledore possesses!
I'm more concerned about how things will go after the massive firing event over at WarnerBros...and JK Rowlings one woman war on destroying her own career.
You may already know but Newt was a Hufflepuff at Hogwarts! Also, his grandson Rolf Scamander marries Luna Lovegood and they have twin boys named Lorcan and Lysander.
I love this movie so much. Newt is just the perfect Hufflepuff. He is loyal and pure love. He sees the best on all things. Also his love for the animals is just heartwarming.
Also he is a good 'finder' with all of his tracking and detective skills he uses to find these creatures and discover enough about them to write a whole book :D He's a Hufflepuff through and through
harry didn't develop an obscurus bc he never actively suppressed his magic, he didn't even know about magic. he did use magic as a child before his 11th birthday but he never knew what it was so he never tried to fight against it and suppress is. credence however grew up being told how wrong and evil magic is and so when he started to show the "symptoms" of being magical he tried his hardest to stop that magic
There's a lot I liked about Fantastic Beasts, (even the second film but I'll save those points for your reaction), and basically all of it has to do with Newt. He's such a good and caring individual, a very quiet kind of hero who is much more nurturing than we saw in Harry. Beyond that, on a personal level, I connected with him because the way Eddie plays Newt, he plays him like a person of the Asperger's/Autism spectrum which makes him the second character I've seen in my life who makes me feel represented on screen. The other being Peter Capaldi's time as the Doctor.
Oddly enough I did sense a semblance of that. Just you worry you're over-connecting yourself to other characters in other shows who may be on the spectrum but Newt could well be.
@@LiamCatterson Rather than risk spoiling anything in my nerding over Newt and his progression, I'll sit on what I've said and wait eagerly for your next reaction :D Onward!
Now that you've been introduced to Grindelwald and you recognized him from the 7th movie you should know in the books Grindelwald refuses to tell Voldemort where the Elder Wand is and dies for that decision (Well, that and he laughed in Voldemort's face). It was a disservice to Grindelwald not to show his eventual redemption, his bravery and how very different he was from Voldemort. Once you see the next movie you will understand why his redemption is so important.
Fantastic beast is fantastic beast, not harry potter. People need to stop comparing it to HP (just how people compare Korra with TLAB). I'm really excited for the next 3 movies! And the creatures are amazing! I love how graphorns are no longer considered in danger in the future (when harry is in school, he uses graphorn horns for potion ingredients) Can't wait for 2021!
Something really interesting when you rewatch it knowing Graves is Grindelwald, you can hear Graves's jealousy in his question when he asks Newt why Dumbledore liked him so much
Correct the moment we got to know that graves is Grindelwald literally it makes sense And the point u said that why dumbeldore likes newt so much makes sense..
There's a theory that because of what the muggle boys did to Arianna Dumbledore she became an obscurus, which is why her magic was so unstable she couldn't go to Hogwarts.
Can't wait for the second one. Being a hufflepuff myself I really love Newt! Also love magical creatures.. definitely would have been a magizoologist myself haha. Love your video so much
I love Newt so much. I've said it since I first saw this film. He would make a fantastic Doctor. Your right he is so much like the 11th who is my favourite. Also I'm a hufflepuff too & I managed to get that tshirt too 💛☺
I'm always wondering when I watch fantastic beasts how much potential there is for more "magical" films. Harry Potter is only about GB/London! There are so damn many places in this world they could do multiple films about.. I'm just dreaming, sorry guys! :( And sorry btw for my bad english.
Liam don't let other people's opinions on the second movie interfere in your experience. The second movie is very controversial because it is a very sense narrative with a lot of set for the final 3 movies and the story heads to a rather dark and epic direction. The ending of the second movie has a very shocking revelation, that might sees out of nowhere at first glance, but that has deep roots in the canon and some amazing theories have come out since the movie's release that got me really excited for the third movie. Make sure to keep an open mind while watching FB2, and I would also suggest watching it a couple more times again after your first watch, because as I said, it is a complex story and it hard to understand everything from a first watch!
There was way too much packed in that movie in my opinion, it wasn’t necessarily that it was bad, it was just so jumbled and some decisions were rushed and didn’t make a ton of sense.
The difference between Harry and Credence is that Harry didn't know what to suppress and he didn't really suppressed his magic.. (e.g the snake incident in the first movie..) Harry's uncle and aunt pretended magic did not exist... Credence knew it existed and knowingly suppressed it.
Little shout out to that movie in this one. The floating lollipop. Harry stole Nevels in Azkaban, and the critter that can disappear stole from a random child. Cool little moment.
Honestly every time you say "times change" i remember when the 11th doctor regenerated "and so must i, and it's good as long as we remember the people we were before" 😭😭😭💔 and it makes me really sad i will never forget one moment of this 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔
Since the Wizarding World is very popular now, the pacing of Fantastic Beasts movies are actually pretty quick. Unlike with Harry Potter, it's like you're going to cherish every scene because you're learning everything for the first time. But I'm just as happy with Fantastic Beasts. To me, it's still wonderfully executed.
The second movie is better. The story is better, the final battle is amazing. Love more the second, than the first one. :- ) But Harry potter is still the best movies ever. My childhood
I really hope you read the books (if you haven't already!). Love them. I didn't like the HP movies too much, I prefer my own 'vision' of things from the books but I really enjoyed this movie. Newt is a sweetheart.
Honestly my biggest issue with The Fantastic Beasts is that the quality of sorry telling took a nose dive. With HP, JK Rowling took her time to write a manuscript for a book, then went through the process of having her editor and publisher tweak it until it was perfect enough to publish it, and from there it got adapted for a the movie making process. Publishing companies simply have a higher standard of excellence than a Hollywood, so skipping that step leaves polishing the work in the hands of the studios who'd clearly be too afraid to tell her no .
Basically, the Fantastic Beast is the prequel to Harry Potter. We get to learn about Dumbledore past, his relationship with Grindelwald, etc. Before Voldemort, the greatest dark wizard was Grindelwald until his fall against Dumbledore. This franchise will be about that.....Grindelwald rise to power and fall.
I am very familiar with Dr Who. I've been watching Dr Who since Tom Baker. I've gone back and watched earlier Dr Who back to the beginning with Hartnell. I currently live in Seattle, where Dr Who has been broadcast once a week every week for 35 years. Our local PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) station (KBTC) is partly supported by viewer donations, and viewers STILL more than meet the target amount required to continue to broadcast Dr Who. Do a TH-cam search for "Dalek Rainier at KBTC PBS Tacoma" to see a pledge drive video from 5 years ago. It actually includes a website address for the US and the UK organizations that promote and provide materials for building your own Dalek.
Stoked this just dropped. I was about to throw on ‘My Cousin Vinny’, but first I must watch my sweet lovely Liam! 💙TardisHeart! I hope you see the third film in cinema. You deserve to be part of that fan vibe. The electric ⚡️ feeling of the HP community when we get new material to watch together is so worthwhile.
I am a huge potterhead and knew everything about this universe, but this movie mixes so much stuff up and is just chaotic that I still don‘t understand the plot, even though I‘ve seen the movie like 4 times lol😂
Hey Liam new subscriber but I really appreciated your discussion at the end of this commentary and how you delved into the time period this all took place in and in comparison to our real world scenarios, especially the ones that have come more into like during this year. I pretty much binged your whole Harry Potter series and was very happy that you started this one even though it has it's discrepancies. I still think it's a fun and like you said light hearted adventure we can go on for those 2 plus hours!
Of course it's not on prisoner of Azkaban's level but It's just such a wholesome movie💛 if they had done a prequel on any of the common characters that we knew from Harry Potter I don't think I would have enjoyed it us much. Honestly, I still would like to know more about Dumbledore's past, what happened between him and Grindelwald and what happened to his sister (Ariadna, the girl from the portrait)
As a potterhead, I really enjoyed this movie. Now, the second one it's just... WTF. That's the only way I can describe it. I will see the remaining ones, because I have to. I just hope it will be worth it. Crimes of Grindelwald got me pissed. But it's great to see you enjoying this world. After watching your reactions I had to re-read the books again. I'm now on Chamber of Secrets. I think you'll enjoy them. But don't read them now. Give the movies time to settle in your head. Then read them. Cheers from Argentina!
I'll be interested to see what he makes of the second one, I too really liked this one. I know some disliked it because it felt different from the HP films but that's kind of what I liked about it, that it didn't try to be like them too much. I have really mixed feelings on COG, I liked the performances and visuals, but certain plot elements really dragged it down for me. I just hope that the series goes ahead (last I heard they are set to resume filming soon) and that the third film is an improvement
Most people don't enjoy the second fantastic beasts movie. I personally do enjoy it, but can see why other people dislike it. It is a really interesting movie for the hardcore fans, but is not that open to newer viewers. Anyways, just ignore anything that anyone says (even what I said) about it and see for yourself!
29:59 Of course you were sarcastic about NY being close to Arizona, but just so you know, the distance from New York City to Phoenix is over 3400 km, which can get you from London to the western part of Kazakhstan. The US is big.
There will always be half-bloods. Because magical people can and are born from non-magical people. Like Hermione. Ron, a pure-blood, married muggle-born witch, Hermione, making their children half-bloods. The "pure-blood" only exists after three generations of magical births.
Also it would be super cool if you could react to Merlin. It's kinda old but practically everyone is watching/reacting to it in 2020 for some random reason and even I myself discovered the show earlier this year and im almost finished with it actually. It's an awesome show but just a suggestion on what you could react to next :)
there are a ton of theories from this movie & the next that aren't confirmed yet one of which is Queenie might be snape's grandma but IDK everyone seems to love her & her no-mag love interest i mean he's so funny and she's just the sweetest and so good at reading minds this is supposed to be a 5 part series & when it ends i hope the do a sequel series to HP next focusing on Harry's children maybe even a series between THIS & harry based on his parents time give it the star wars treatment
I may be a Slytherin, but if I had to pick a house for a new main character to belong to I'd pick Hufflepuff. They really don't get much spotlight and I never liked their reputation for being useless, boring or being the left-over students couldn't cut it in other houses. I was hoping that Hufflepuffs would finally have another big lead character that they could point to and say look, we're more than that. I suppose it may because Slytherin gets the same treatment where we're pigeon-holes as the shifty, untrustworthy, evil house when we're better than that as well. I love Harry Potter but I think the writing for the houses suffer from not-being-Gryffindor. Newt is such a wonderful character. He's so smart, compassionate, gentle and caring. He's also such a good example of what the Sorting Hat means when they say Hufflepuffs are good finders. Newt has some detective-like skills when it comes to piecing together clues and tracking down his creatures and figuring things out. Newt is also a great representation of a very different kind of masculinity than what we usually see in male leads for the mainstream. He's so sweet and shy and I wouldn't be surprised if he were on the spectrum too. The movie also doesn't treat these gentler qualities as something he needs to "man up" and get over or like some detriment but as his gift. It's refreshing.
no prequel ALWAYS means its in the past sequel is the future dictionary definition like the mauraders area is past for harry & his kids would be future THIS is more like his grandparents time this was around the time voldemort was born (the same year, he was born on new years eve)
On the one hand I would love to see you react to Fantastic Beasts 3 but on the other hand I suggest you to watch a Harry Potter (franchise) film in cinema. Seeing the Harry Potter series on the big screen will always remain my favorite cinema experience of all time
I actually think I like this movie MORE than the Harry Potter movies. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Harry Potter movies, but I think Fantastic Beasts have the advantage of not being based on books, so I never have those annoying "why didn't you explain THIS important thing from the books?!", "why did you add THAT pointless thing instead of deleting LESS of the things from the books?!" and "why did you make a character I LOVE so different?!" moments. As such I think I am able to just enjoy the story more because there is no previous knowledge of the source material to color my experience.
@@sayantaroy9640 I know....? What does that have to do with anything though? The Harry Potter movies were based on books, the Fantastic Beasts movies were not, and I explained in my comment why I think that might make me better able to enjoy the Fantastic Beasts movies without having any source material it can fall short of when I compare the two. I don't see how the same author being behind both makes a difference when it comes to that.
Great reaction, as per normal. I think I need to rewatch this movie as I always thought it was a bit boring but from this it's more exciting than I remember. I always enjoyed the 2nd one a lot more so I look forward to that reaction in a month or so.
Each movie is suppose to be in a different country, this one was on USA, not gonna say spoilers about the second one, and the third we know its gonna be in Brazil!!!!!
Okay, but honestly, if I had the choice between dying with my worst memories shown to me due to Dementors or happy memories before death, I'd rather take bliss.

@@gamingforaliving55 Exactly my thoughts ! He is such an underrated guy
What I love about these prequel films is that they show more about the magical world outside of the wizarding school system.
Yeah...I CANT WAIT TWO YEARS FOR ANOTHER MOVIE....at least Warner Bros said they will put more effort into the movies
@@HalloweenYanfei I don't trust Warner Overlords that much....
@@vampirethespiderbatgod9740 fair point
I'm more concerned about how things will go after the massive firing event over at WarnerBros...and JK Rowlings one woman war on destroying her own career.
The only bad thing about them is the fact they didn't capture the charm the old ones had
Eddie Redmayne made up that mating dance himself. Just think about that for a moment.
It is bloody brilliant.
You may already know but Newt was a Hufflepuff at Hogwarts! Also, his grandson Rolf Scamander marries Luna Lovegood and they have twin boys named Lorcan and Lysander.
That’s so weird U totally think they would have Neville and Luna be together but no he marries Hannah Abbot of all people.
"Newt is amazing... I love his charm I love his-"
Newt: "AAAAAAAH"
Newt: (Awkwardly steps into his case to hide from compliments)
@@bel410la lol nice one tho....
Newt is really such charming(this is coming from a guy) and his character I loved it totally better then Harry Potter
As a fun fact, this happens during Christmas in 1926, and Tom Riddle is born on December 31st 1926 (:
So a couple of days before Tom Riddle's story begins.
There's something about how the longest newt has ever held eye contact was when he was telling Jacob he was his friend that really makes me emotional
You can see an easter egg of Newt walking on Marauder's Map in Prisioner of Azkaban, if you search about it you'll find were is it
I love this movie so much. Newt is just the perfect Hufflepuff. He is loyal and pure love. He sees the best on all things. Also his love for the animals is just heartwarming.

Can't wait for 2021!
VALID
I'm glad you were surprised with Newt's suitcase! I'd always thought Hagrid would probably have something like this too.
you know in the harry potter books it is shown that his book is studied at school
Its kind of cool that the hogwart students have to buy a specific book."Fantastic beast and were to find them"
Dumbledore really made sure that his homies are collecting their coins and getting the recognition that they deserve lol.
Something really interesting when you rewatch it knowing Graves is Grindelwald, you can hear Graves's jealousy in his question when he asks Newt why Dumbledore liked him so much

The thing used to make people forget only makes them forget bad memories, Jacob had a great time with Newt and magic.
Jacob is my personal favorite, and I like Newt, too! Thanks for the lovely reaction!
There's a theory that because of what the muggle boys did to Arianna Dumbledore she became an obscurus, which is why her magic was so unstable she couldn't go to Hogwarts.
It isn't a theory, she was an Obscurus.
@@adventuresinlaurenland it isn't confirmed by J.K. yet so technically it is still a theory but almost everyone believes that it is true
This movie made me have a crush on Eddie Redmayne. Then I watched the theory of everything and les mis. Crush deepened. Then Jupiter Ascending and I-
"will we die, just a little?"
Oh cool!! I didn't know you were reacting to this! it's honestly one of my favorite movies.
Can't wait for the second one. Being a hufflepuff myself I really love Newt! Also love magical creatures.. definitely would have been a magizoologist myself haha. Love your video so much
I don't understand people who skip Liam's introduction and review... I listen to it on the background as if it was a podcast

I can't wait for you to watch the second movie! It get's way darker
I can actually listen to you talk all day haha 😂
Just to clarify for anyone curious/confused: the obscureus is the creature and the obscureial is the host who develops it
I know how many question Newts masculinity..as if it mattered.. However I think it is very refreshing to see a hero with actual heart

Newt is such a darling. Actually, all actors are very loveable.
Luna Lovegood becomes Newt`s granddaughter-in-law :)

I have really mixed feelings on COG, I liked the performances and visuals, but certain plot elements really dragged it down for me. I just hope that the series goes ahead (last I heard they are set to resume filming soon) and that the third film is an improvement
Most people don't enjoy the second fantastic beasts movie. I personally do enjoy it, but can see why other people dislike it. It is a really interesting movie for the hardcore fans, but is not that open to newer viewers. Anyways, just ignore anything that anyone says (even what I said) about it and see for yourself!
I know its probably unlikely to happen but eddie redmaynes performance in this movie just makes me think he would make an amazing doctor
29:59 Of course you were sarcastic about NY being close to Arizona, but just so you know, the distance from New York City to Phoenix is over 3400 km, which can get you from London to the western part of Kazakhstan. The US is big.
wah omg yay! i love your reactions!!
There will always be half-bloods. Because magical people can and are born from non-magical people. Like Hermione. Ron, a pure-blood, married muggle-born witch, Hermione, making their children half-bloods. The "pure-blood" only exists after three generations of magical births.
Love this movie and the reaction!
Matt smith was one of the candidates for Newt’s role
New York and Arizona are only about 2,350-ish miles apart. So yeah, super close! 💀💀
Newt Scamender is a Hufflepuff
Tina was a very skilled auror.
i want Eddie Redmayne as the 14th Doctor
Also it would be super cool if you could react to Merlin. It's kinda old but practically everyone is watching/reacting to it in 2020 for some random reason and even I myself discovered the show earlier this year and im almost finished with it actually. It's an awesome show but just a suggestion on what you could react to next :)
there are a ton of theories from this movie & the next that aren't confirmed yet one of which is Queenie might be snape's grandma but IDK everyone seems to love her & her no-mag love interest i mean he's so funny and she's just the sweetest and so good at reading minds this is supposed to be a 5 part series & when it ends i hope the do a sequel series to HP next focusing on Harry's children maybe even a series between THIS & harry based on his parents time give it the star wars treatment
I love this movie so much, Newt is amazing! Are you planning on watching the second one?
at the beginning he said he will watch it, but we have to wait until next month for his reaction
Tessa G Ah okay, thanks! ^w^
@@NonbinaryRatt happy to help :D
NY to AZ is over 2000 miles but a bird like that size shouldn't take long to get there XD
I may be a Slytherin, but if I had to pick a house for a new main character to belong to I'd pick Hufflepuff. They really don't get much spotlight and I never liked their reputation for being useless, boring or being the left-over students couldn't cut it in other houses. I was hoping that Hufflepuffs would finally have another big lead character that they could point to and say look, we're more than that. I suppose it may because Slytherin gets the same treatment where we're pigeon-holes as the shifty, untrustworthy, evil house when we're better than that as well. I love Harry Potter but I think the writing for the houses suffer from not-being-Gryffindor. Newt is such a wonderful character. He's so smart, compassionate, gentle and caring. He's also such a good example of what the Sorting Hat means when they say Hufflepuffs are good finders. Newt has some detective-like skills when it comes to piecing together clues and tracking down his creatures and figuring things out. Newt is also a great representation of a very different kind of masculinity than what we usually see in male leads for the mainstream. He's so sweet and shy and I wouldn't be surprised if he were on the spectrum too. The movie also doesn't treat these gentler qualities as something he needs to "man up" and get over or like some detriment but as his gift. It's refreshing.
Hufflepuff is actually the most popular house of all the four.It's the Ravenclaws who need the spotlight.
I was so disappointed that you didnt follow "it's a.. platypus" with "PERRY the platypus???" 😂😂😂
no prequel ALWAYS means its in the past sequel is the future dictionary definition like the mauraders area is past for harry & his kids would be future THIS is more like his grandparents time this was around the time voldemort was born (the same year, he was born on new years eve)
That evil mother played Alpha on the walking dead
Liam, now we gotta know what your house is in Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! I'm a Thunderbird! Ravenclaw in Hogwarts.
How do you get sorted in ilvermorny?
@@nasrinsultana8885 pottermore has a quiz for that too
On the one hand I would love to see you react to Fantastic Beasts 3 but on the other hand I suggest you to watch a Harry Potter (franchise) film in cinema. Seeing the Harry Potter series on the big screen will always remain my favorite cinema experience of all time
Newt is my favorite character in the Wizarding world
“New York and Arizona is kind of close” no, they really aren’t. It’s about a 35 hour drive
yes! finally! i've been waiting......
12 years?
I Love credence and feel sorry for him 🥺
I actually think I like this movie MORE than the Harry Potter movies. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Harry Potter movies, but I think Fantastic Beasts have the advantage of not being based on books, so I never have those annoying "why didn't you explain THIS important thing from the books?!", "why did you add THAT pointless thing instead of deleting LESS of the things from the books?!" and "why did you make a character I LOVE so different?!" moments. As such I think I am able to just enjoy the story more because there is no previous knowledge of the source material to color my experience.
The fantastic beast is also written by j.k rowling
@@sayantaroy9640 I know....? What does that have to do with anything though? The Harry Potter movies were based on books, the Fantastic Beasts movies were not, and I explained in my comment why I think that might make me better able to enjoy the Fantastic Beasts movies without having any source material it can fall short of when I compare the two. I don't see how the same author being behind both makes a difference when it comes to that.
Great reaction, as per normal. I think I need to rewatch this movie as I always thought it was a bit boring but from this it's more exciting than I remember. I always enjoyed the 2nd one a lot more so I look forward to that reaction in a month or so.
Each movie is suppose to be in a different country, this one was on USA, not gonna say spoilers about the second one, and the third we know its gonna be in Brazil!!!!!
You might know this already but Newt is a Hufflepuff
I’m surprised
Okay, but honestly, if I had the choice between dying with my worst memories shown to me due to Dementors or happy memories before death, I'd rather take bliss.
