>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
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.
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
@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.
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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?
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
When I read that Hogworts wasn't the only wizarding school, I wanted to know what other wizarding schools there were. Boy oh boy, I was so disappointed when I realised that she only created one school for one continent. As an Asian, its even more infuriating to know that she created one school for the whole East Asia and Southeast Asia region! One school for the world's most populous region? And the smallest school of them all! I guess she would say East Asian wizards prefer to send their children to Hogworts to plug this hole.
@@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.
you must be living a pampered life with nothing noteable going on if one fictitious world is upsetting you this much. get a grip lol, the world is not ending..
@@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.

“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
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
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.
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'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.
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.
No, the creator of the video is lame because he makes wrong claims without even researching the material. Goldstein was definitely mentioned in book 5 and 7 I believe.
@@nerakaklausyti Yep, you're right. The creator did not research a number of his claims in this video. The one that jumped out at me the most was that the obscurus didn't just get exploded and then magically survive without any explanation. He/it is shown to be alive at the end of the first movie; a tiny sliver of the obscurus remains and goes unnoticed by the ensuing chaos of 50 people clambering in a subway tunnel. He/it sneakily floats away over a crack in the wall!
Eduardo Cooper I’ve just read the books way too many times. I don’t think I could name that many minor characters off the top of my head, but if you said a name like Anthony Goldstein I’d be like, “Oh yeah, I remember them.” There were a bunch of random student characters like that that were just there to fill out Hogwarts.
No one: JK Rowling: Arthur Weasley ended up getting very knowledgeable about muggle electronics and later changed his name to Tony Stark Disney: u wot m8?
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.
Maybe the most interesting too, the way she plays with the "death of the author" concept and changes or add lore every freaking week is remarkable: "OH you're right, Hermione could be black (she read some fanfiction with that change, and she adopted it). Wait no Dumbledore is GAY now. Some said they wanted a new perspective of the series? Ok. No wait that wasn't that popular, was it? Now this is the prequels of Harry Potter"
@@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.
@@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
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 liked the first one a lot too. There was another UA-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
@@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.
I don't think the original books were that good either. Anyone remember Time Turners? The Ministry (government) had control of time machines, and was giving them to children like Hermione so they could attend extra classes. Later on Harry and the other kids sneak into the Ministry--meaning nearly any Death Eater could have stolen one and brought back Voldemort while Harry was a baby. Sure they said it was dangerous, but Dumbledore let Harry and Hermione take that risk to save Sirius, so a desperate Death Eater definitely could have done the same for Voldemort. And even more annoyingly, they try to completely ignore Muggle technology like ball point pens and guns, but they still have functional clocks and fireworks and other simple things that combined could be weaponized as magic self-shooting sniper rifles that are invisible and never miss. You can block spells all day, but J.K. Rowling never introduced anti-bullet wards (or any kind of persistent shields). The books always played it fast and loose and required suspending your disbelief to enjoy. They'll never be on the level of Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones, they simply don't follow their own rules and weren't thought out thoroughly before publication. On that note, I would say Fantastic Beasts was not out of line at all.
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!
omg dead... i also imagine if anybody did this in anybody did this in other franchise like " latin Alfred " just poppin up with some homies for protection, and having some great ass parties just bending the rules for once but for GOOD lmao
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
So rather than having Jedi, I mean wizards communicate with Magic directly, we have the force, I mean magic, communicating with with Midis, communicating with wizards. While the extra link in the chain IS rather pointless, how does that actually change anything?
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.
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. Like man, thats the worst weapon we have on earth right know and its from one of the worst wars ever. Don't just use it to make your super over the top fictional bad guy seem “moraly balanced.“ Have some respect for the tragedies that both these things were and are. Also don't listen to the asshole in this comment chain trying to tell people that the holocaust did not happen. It did, there is proof everywere and people suffer because of it to this day.
The Queenie plot drove me absolutely insane Like!! I always thought at the very least?? If they made it that Kowalski had completely lost his memory then maybe it would make sense for Queenie to be so desperate to have him back and be able to keep him that she took a chance with Grindlewald- but even then, it’s all just buck wild.
And maybe if she met Grindelwald earlier and he says that oh your boyfriend will fight and die in the future war, then it would make much more sense why she went with Grindlewald to save Kowalski... but yeah that didn’t happen.
Even without the whole thing of a Muggle knowing about the wizarding world, the end of the first movie has Queenie visiting Jacob's bakery at the very end and he has a spark on seeing her. It doesn't have to be anything like "he suddenly remembers again" but there was a clear indication that, yeah, the two could easily just fall back in love.
kowaski gained back his memory cause all he rember is good memories while all other no mags didnt rember cause they all haf bad memory of magic plus the reporter in first movie might also rember magic which might play a big role in the upcoming movies plus jk said queeni can read minda but cant always derive real meanings which is rpobably what happened plus she wanted to mary kwoski amd it is forbidden in magic world to do it so as grindlewald allowed it she went with him also we all know grindlewald is a very big manupulator and a very good and dark wizrad which might expalin queenie being naive in love to join grindlewald plus you cant say grindelwald plans are bad as he wants to save wizard and whiches from no mags only just wait for upcoming movues and it will all make sense just like in all hp bokks sorry for my bad english
@@albertoandrade9807 Well like the addition of an American school. How come such a school wasn't invited to the Triwizard tournament in the 4th book/film? The other schools definitely weren't english. Those girls were clearly french and Krum did not sound or look english. Maybe it was just European schools, but still she clearly thought it up afterwards. And yes I know it's called TRI-wizard tournament but Rowling could have called it what ever she wanted. In the books Grindelwald seemed to be pretty active and a massive problem in Europe to just disappear to America for a while. Plus Rowling clearly thought up the whole Obscurus thing after she finished Deathly Hollows. I'm pretty sure Voldemort would have been trying to create those things while building his army. Just one of those things destroyed half of New York. The whole memory forgetting rain trick is a pretty massive retcon. It makes the whole "not doing magic in front of muggles" thing not such a big deal. Just keep one of those things captive and wait for a rain storm. No big deal. I don't know it just seemed like doing magic in front of muggles was an issue cause if they told someone it would be hard to contain it. But with the rain forgetting trick that doesn't seem like that big a problem anymore.
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.
Sorry but Hagrid's mother was a single mother, so she's probably a lesbian. That's why in Harry Potter 7 Aurelius did not went to Nagani and said: "Let's have tea"
Okay this was funny the first few times but now its just an excuse for people to be asshats about """political correctness""" or as it should be called. Not being an asshat
@@8393Robertrex You have to complain about political correctness. And you have to do it with a joke, cuz otherwise everyone calls you a racist. Why do we have to complain? Well... crazy example: Nazis said f.e jewish people are different, so they treated them diffrently. Politicians say everyone is equal, but they treat everyone differently. So now ask yourself: Who is worse? The one that attacks you from the front or the one who stabs you in your back
I remember reading Quidditch through the ages a decade ago, and I remember that it was so cool that each continent and some countries got their own Quidditch team and it was lovely. I'm from India so started browsing through to see what Asia had and it was a small paragraph saying they didn't have a team because they preferred magic carpets. I almost want to throw it in her face but I'm afraid that if she responds in some underhanded way about how she's always actually had a specific Indian themed team in her mind and spouts some generic name I might die of cringe
Exact words in the book: Asia Quidditch has never achieved great popularity in the East, as the flying broomstick is a rarity in countries where the carpet is still the preferred mode of travel. The ministries of magic in countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran and Mongolia, all of whom maintain a flourishing trade in flying carpets, regard Quidditch with some suspicion, though the sport does have some fans among witches and wizards on the street. The exception is Japan where it's been gaining steadily in popularity over the last century. She goes on to add that the Japanese tend to set fire to their brooms if they lose a game
The thing for me with newt is that he's not inept, he's a capable wizard. Just not a dueller. I find that Newt being the protagonist is a vary odd choice especially considering he says "I don't do sides". That tells what he showed throughout the first film. He doesn't really care about the whole war thing, he wants to do his own thing and further his knowledge of animals and study them.
Just so strange that she’s trying to tell 2 opposite stories in the same story. 1 which is showing us other parts of the wizarding world with a character who’s just tryna chill and learn. The 2nd is a literal war story and how the greatest duel of all time came to happen. JUST TELL TWO SEPARATE STORIES?!?
No offense but I’d rather get another protagonist that’s not Newt also it would be a great potential to have a story take place in Ivermony since we’ve already seen too much of Hogwarts. Also since Fantastic Beasts take place in the US, a student in Ivermony who’s an American Harry Potter maybe would be a great choice.
Newt feels like he should be a cameo. He feels like a beloved protagonist from a monster-of-the-week type series set in the Harry Potter universe in explicably on it's 6th season even though you've never heard of it before he got his own movie (Fantastic Beasts). Then later when the Grindelwald movie comes out he would appear for one scene where the main cast coincidentally run into him and he helps them with one of his beasties and you can bet that as soon as he steps into frame the entire audience in the theater goes wild
I think the point of that is that there comes a time when big events like this simply make it impossible not to choose a side unless you don’t care about people or are naive enough to believe they won’t affect you.
>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
@@healsthefeels-eso1053 right because that's not more convoluted than the gordian knot
And the Basilisk was secretly able to move about the school by means of the pipes/plumbing.
The real question is, why is the plumbing in Hogwarts so massive that a giant snake can slither in them without getting stuck?

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.
YES!
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.

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
"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.
This movie confirms that Grindelwald is better than Voldemort after all he manages to kill a baby
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?
@Robbie Reijman is this guy coming at a baby 🤔
@Robbie Reijman r/woosh
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

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?

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
That already exists. It's called Pokémon.

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.
@@rileymachelle4088That’s pretty cool!
@@bradylehman6406 agreed
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
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.
Keiichi81 after hearing that i honestly would have just fucking left.
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.
To be fair, fascists and cult leaders aren't exactly known for being logical.
Maybe Grindelwald looks the way he does because he was going through a very intense breakup from a very intense sexual relationship at the time.

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.

When I read that Hogworts wasn't the only wizarding school, I wanted to know what other wizarding schools there were. Boy oh boy, I was so disappointed when I realised that she only created one school for one continent. As an Asian, its even more infuriating to know that she created one school for the whole East Asia and Southeast Asia region! One school for the world's most populous region? And the smallest school of them all! I guess she would say East Asian wizards prefer to send their children to Hogworts to plug this hole.
I don’t think she realizes how massive the United States is, even less the rest of North America. One school per continent just isn’t feasible.
Makes the Wizarding World feel even more ridiculously small.
I think she said that those schools were the most notable in those areas, not the only ones. There are other smaller schools and some study at home.
@@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.

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.

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.

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.
J.K is the greatest villain of harry potter franchise.
She has surpassed Umbridge.

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.

@@Lemonpie167 seek help.
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.

So _that's_ why they were banned from using magic.
I don't think the original books were that good either. Anyone remember Time Turners? The Ministry (government) had control of time machines, and was giving them to children like Hermione so they could attend extra classes. Later on Harry and the other kids sneak into the Ministry--meaning nearly any Death Eater could have stolen one and brought back Voldemort while Harry was a baby. Sure they said it was dangerous, but Dumbledore let Harry and Hermione take that risk to save Sirius, so a desperate Death Eater definitely could have done the same for Voldemort.
And even more annoyingly, they try to completely ignore Muggle technology like ball point pens and guns, but they still have functional clocks and fireworks and other simple things that combined could be weaponized as magic self-shooting sniper rifles that are invisible and never miss. You can block spells all day, but J.K. Rowling never introduced anti-bullet wards (or any kind of persistent shields).
The books always played it fast and loose and required suspending your disbelief to enjoy. They'll never be on the level of Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones, they simply don't follow their own rules and weren't thought out thoroughly before publication. On that note, I would say Fantastic Beasts was not out of line at all.

While the extra link in the chain IS rather pointless, how does that actually change anything?
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.

I didn’t know you watched cosmonaut variety hour, fancy seein you here
And maybe if she met Grindelwald earlier and he says that oh your boyfriend will fight and die in the future war, then it would make much more sense why she went with Grindlewald to save Kowalski... but yeah that didn’t happen.
Even without the whole thing of a Muggle knowing about the wizarding world, the end of the first movie has Queenie visiting Jacob's bakery at the very end and he has a spark on seeing her. It doesn't have to be anything like "he suddenly remembers again" but there was a clear indication that, yeah, the two could easily just fall back in love.
kowaski gained back his memory cause all he rember is good memories while all other no mags didnt rember cause they all haf bad memory of magic

The 2nd is a literal war story and how the greatest duel of all time came to happen.
JUST TELL TWO SEPARATE STORIES?!?
And all I want is to watch Newt be his odd self and just see him interact with the fantastic beasts but NO.
No offense but I’d rather get another protagonist that’s not Newt also it would be a great potential to have a story take place in Ivermony since we’ve already seen too much of Hogwarts. Also since Fantastic Beasts take place in the US, a student in Ivermony who’s an American Harry Potter maybe would be a great choice.
Newt feels like he should be a cameo. He feels like a beloved protagonist from a monster-of-the-week type series set in the Harry Potter universe in explicably on it's 6th season even though you've never heard of it before he got his own movie (Fantastic Beasts). Then later when the Grindelwald movie comes out he would appear for one scene where the main cast coincidentally run into him and he helps them with one of his beasties and you can bet that as soon as he steps into frame the entire audience in the theater goes wild
I think the point of that is that there comes a time when big events like this simply make it impossible not to choose a side unless you don’t care about people or are naive enough to believe they won’t affect you.
“Were there any Irish students at hogwarts?”
JK: Yes, Seamus Finnigan, IRA
You'll notice how in the films he was always accidentally blowing things up too 🤦🏼♂️
