Thank you for pointing out how manipulative Dumbledore's character really is. I was feeling so wretchedly wrong when I watch the whole Harry Potter series and read Philosopher's Stone. I was anxious for the sexual abuse that comes with Dumbledore's *grooming.* It was the only form of abuse that was not winked out by his creepy eyes. The rest of the child abuse and exploitation were ignored.

The Fantastic beasts series should have been about saving animals not fixing dumbledores relationship trauma

But you’re missing the whole idea that the plot is about the beast that live within all of us not just the literal fantastic beasts. Besides it wouldn’t make sense for them to not address Grindelwald since during that time in the Wizarding world he would be on his rise to power and you can’t just have something as big as that happened and not have this be involved in some kind of way :-)

They could have an Indiana Jones wizard quest for beasts and Grindy could be the nazis but instead they are sacrificing the charm of the first movie in a clumsy attempt to get a new Voldemort antagonist Newt could be on his adventures and slowly learning of grindys lore as he meets new Wizards to build suspense but instead we get lowest common denominator stop bad guy films.

They made the same mistake with this movie as the did with The Hobbit. Rather than a fun stand alone film that expanded the world of Harry Potter a bit, they muggled it up by trying to write a prequel saga. I mean, did we really need an origin story for the snake? I can say with almost certainty that we're going to see a young Tom Riddle before the end of movie 5. Really, I think they should have focused on the in series books, and based it on those. Fantastic Beasts got its movie. Quiddich through the Ages would be a sports story that follows the Wigtown Wanderers, and the author/fan that follows them. Tales of Beedle the Bard would be an anthology of the 5 stories, directed by 5 different directors, with the framing device of James and Lily telling their infant son a bedtime story. Maybe they could have stretched out the stories into a few standalone films to really milk it.

I feel like they tried too hard when they started connecting this directly to HP characters like Dumbledore. I remember when they name dropped Dumbledore and the fact that Newt was expelled from Hogwarts, it felt so cool. This is a new character for us, one who's come from a place we know, but is doing his own thing. It felt fresh, but they really dropped the ball.

Colin should have been Grindelwald for all the films. I'm a big fan of him. He's great in all his roles.

This movie was most apparent in how it doesn't match magical canon. 1. Portkeys: They didn't need to touch the portkeys (most noticeable with the spinning portkey, they just had to be near it). Would have made Voldemort's job pretty easy if you just had to toss a portkey NEAR Harry lol. Also when Jacob and Eulalie arrived in the train it definitely looked like floo powder. Coming from the fireplace, green flame and yet Jacob is saying how he hates Portkeys. 2. Apparation: apparently you no longer need to turn on your heels to apparate 3. Wordless magic: apparently everyone can do wordless magic now. Even though Voldemort, one of the strongest dark wizards of all time, has to use words to cast his spells apparently everyone else in this film has skills far superior to his own. 4. Dumbledore and Aberforth blocked the Avada Kedavra? Really? Again can't tell if that was the spell since wordless but it was green and Dumbledore said Grindewald was trying to kill. Anyways, apparently if two people trying to protect hits an oncoming Avada Kedavra with their spells it negates it? How does that make sense? Just a bunch of nonense in this movie

1) and 2) you are over thinking the port keysAnd apparation, Especially the latter since they definitely did not turn on their heels in the Harry Potter movies either…… As well, I also believe that It’s been described in the box about them doing it at certain times as well.And for the former they did touch them And we’re just not near them 3) Voldemort has done wordless magic before and don’t forget pretty much all of these guys are professional wizards Who and other characters like them have also done Wordless magic in the previous movies and in the Harry Potter books and movies as well. Don’t forget they are highly trained professional wizards after all :-) 4) in case you haven’t noticed, credence was indeed affected by that spell which was nonetheless at least partially deflected hence why he didn’t die right away and was in the process of dying. Perhaps it could be some unexplained magic that’s never slashrarely been experienced before. Just because it hasn’t happened before the series even with it being a prequel doesn’t mean that it can’t be explained And or is even wrong let alone the fact that you don’t understand it also doesn’t mean that it’s wrong either eH?

@@SuperMoviemaster21 totally with the portkeys could have missed them touching it but to me it lookes like they just walked up to it before our suitcase scene. The book portkey at the banquet was also ambiguous since they didn't get sucked away upon touching the book pages but upon them touching eachothers hands? (Unless she had the book in her hands that I missed). Anyways it could be that since they expect us to be more familiar with the portkeys from Book 4 they didn't make the emphasis of everyone having to gather around and clasp the portkey tightly like they did with the shoe taking them to the Wizard's cup. I guess in short, at least in the case of the the portkeys, it seemed more stylistic which made it more ambiguous and took me a bit out of it. with 4 I must have missed that because I thought it was his obscurus illness that made him so much weaker at the end (as in it was exponentially getting worse and worse even within that short period at the end) and not that part of the Killing Curse made it to him. If it was only partially deflected that makes much more sense, I thought from the one viewing I had that it completely negated it which would seem to take away a lot of lethalness and mystique surrounding it.

He was also head of the Wizengamot in book canon, and even yes, Supreme Mugwump! So the only position of power that Albus has consistently refused to take is head of the Ministry of Magic, which as portrayed in the books isn't all that powerful. Curious, isn't it?

I'm the other way around....I prefer Mads Mikkelson's Grindelwald to Johnny Depp's portrayal because it's more believable that they had a tense sexual relationship. Depp's whimsical Grindelwald doesn't seem like a good match to Law's Dumbledore.

Buying as many merchandise directly related to it as possible will also truly help. Also remember that if you’re refusing to see it because of #JohnnyDeppIsMyGrindelwald Then please remember that this movie needs to do well so as to give Johnny the chance to actually come back in the Later movies, For the actor who played MacNair The executioner was re-casted for prisoner of Azkaban and then came back for order of the Phoenix. The bottom line is that if #FantasticBeastsTheSecretsOfDumbledore Doesn’t do well, And they don’t make the remaining two movies,then Johnny definitely will never be back as Grindelwald!Plus you also have to remember that it’s about to be a new company with new people over seeing it, So as such you were technically not paying that company and are actually giving more of a chance than not having him actually return. Especially depending on what may happen with the results of his trial that’s going to be happening shortly after the movie comes out, the new people taking over Warner Bros. right before it comes out…… Also remember in regards to her that she doesn’t necessarily get a whole lot of money from this, as well the fact remains that as many people have pointed out that she already has so much money that not supporting the series will not really change any kind of “power“ that you may have against her, and after all the series should not suffer at all because of her for Regardless of what you may think, nothing I repeat nothing will ever ever truly take away what a series overall truly means to you let alone other people, And again it’s not The series that’s the problem at all in any kind of way :-) Also keep in mind that even though it’s not the best example they have at least one transgender person or someone who identifies themselves as “They” in the cast so much for her transphobia……

And of course know that it’s not just about Albus but the whole Dumbledore family as a whole, including related to what Dumbledore does in the movie, the secrets to who he truly is. And for your FYI, there’s actually a lot more and even Better continuity to the movies then what was in the previous ones Including the previous David Yates Harry Potter movies that he really really should’ve done all along…… :-)

@@neivilde.1242 well then you truly need to go out and see the new movies that way you actually know what we’re talking about Ian or see if you can actually make sense of it yourself which you may be able to more than this guy here and even me who is truly defending it can. And again if you really think about it Albus always is pure of heart having learned from his mistakes and doing things like neglecting the level of power further proves that he is because he knows that he will not be pure if he has that kind of power and even with Harry despite the claims of “raising him like a pig for Slaughter” he always knew that Hilary would be able to come back after Voldemort killed him because of the use of Lily’s blood when he got resurrected; Again if you truly experienced it and truly think about it then you’ll not only get it but may actually thoroughly enjoy it and be able to see that it’s not as bad as you were others may think or even how it originally May seem :-)

I thought the magic deer should have bowed before the normal guy Jacob because everyone kept saying he had heart and all that crap.

I will say that this series suffers so much from there not being a book. The Harry Potter movies had books that the viewer could read beforehand and fill in the gaps. A lot of things in the Phantastic Beasts movies do not really make sense in the already established universe but could in theory be established. But they aren't. My friends biggest gripe with this movie was that such a huge event like in the third movie had to have been mentioned somewhere in the original books. Also everyone (really everyone) being able to do wandless magic, the confusing floo powder/portkey thing, the election taking place in not Germany(?), Tina being slowly written out of the story, and so much more. Like, I could come up with some reasons for those plot ambiguities but those things should have had a book. That would at least lead to a much more streamlined story that could flow so much better.

Let's be honest, at this point, J.K. is just throwing whatever out there because Harry Potter fans will still eat it up. This series has no direction, at all. It's just going here and there. Which, I get is good because they can take it anywhere and include whatever they'd like, but also not good because it can go anywhere and the movies don't even really connect because there's no source material, no direction for it. If there is, it doesn't seem that clear to anyone watching, and it went off the rails with the second movie. I never even saw that one because of what I was hearing about it. This just seems to complicate it even more. Why couldn't we stick with him going around and studying and discovering creatures? That was fun and I was actually looking forward to seeing all the animals we'd heard mentioned in the books and in the Fantastic Beasts book.

10:05 "That bottle would be called 'tomorrow'." So true. Cracked me up! 🤣🤣😁😁 I guess the backstage team studied the history of this and probably figured out that this style of stopper was very popular during that era. I doubt they expect many people to notice. But that was a great joke, LME. :D

What's interesting about alot of reviews on the Secrets of Dumbledore is how some reviewers (not all), question a studios motive when they bring up politics which is interesting because the XMen animated cartoons in the early 90's centered around discrimination, politics, and the ways that both humans and mutants handled their individual experiences. The XMen series ran for about 10+ years with no complaints nor push back. I say all of that to say that the level of complexity of story writing, juggling each characters own ambitions, the human element, and the eventually war that is coming leaves me a little amazed that teenagers are able to get this story. The movies usually don't do the books justice so now I am curious to read thr prequel to the Harry Potter novels.

XMen was always an allegory to the civil rights movement tho, in the same way movies like Hunger Games or Civil War are bound to end up political. Harry Potter went from a moody and hilarious kid learning he’s a wizard, a trust fund baby and the Chosen One all while dealing with very concerning issues like a particular homework he’s in no way shape or form capable of doing without copying from his friend…. to whatever Fantastic Beasts is. That’s why is heavily criticized, cause any political element is shoehorned in for fake wokeness.

Watched the movie. So, Jacob was given a coreless wand by Dumbledore. That wand was most likely gotten at Olivander's. I'm to believe that Olivander made a wand from some tree and didn't give it a core? Olivander makes fake wands?
