JKR actually wrote the textbook sometime after the HP books. It and a Quidditch book were sold as a fundraiser with all profits going to some worthy cause.
I love Newt so much. He doesn't care for all the mess he leaves, he only wants to make sure that the beasts are safe. He is a prime example of chaotic good.
Newt is a Hufflepuff, you can see his school scarf when the customs guy checks his bag. I also have the exact same reaction as you did every time I see Tina munching that hotdog. It really does look awesome. It was a house elf & he was polishing wands, not shoes. The elevator attendant was a goblin though, you can tell by the fact he was wearing clothes. The mob boss guy was also a goblin. Goblins seem to be much more integrated into magical society in the US than in Europe. A European goblin wouldn't be caught dead working at the Ministry of Magic, for example. Fun fact: the first two spells we hear Newt cast in this film (alohomora & petrificus totalus) are both spells cast by Hermione in the first HP movie. So the thing that bites Jacob was a murtlap. In the books, Hermione gives Harry a solution of stewed murtlap tentacles to soak his hand in after he gets tortured by Umbridge. The suitcase works on the same principle as the tent at the Quidditch World Cup in Goblet of Fire. It's called "magical expansion". It's a whole thing. The dragons Newt says he worked with during the war, "Ukrainian Ironbellies" are the same breed as the dragon Harry et al rode out of Gringotts in Deathly Hallows pt2. Occamy eggs are pure silver. There is a distance limit to apperating although it's not totally clear what that limit is. It likely varies from wizard to wizard. I think the longest jump we see is when Dumbledore apparates himself & Harry from the Scottish highlands to the south coast of England which would be around 600-700 miles.
YES UR RIGHT! The goblins wear clothes like bankers! But I think they failed there because u shouldn’t have to question that! They looked too similar! I missed the practical makeup but I am a makeup artist so I will always prefer that! Thanks for ur awesome Comment!
And about the distance limits of apparation..I don't think they are allowed to apparate inbetween continents/countries across the wizarding world...I can site examples from FB2..but I don't wanna spoil anything at this point
Funfact: nifflers were appearing in the book Goblet of Fire :) they were on one of the classes about care for magical creatures under Hagrid tutelage :) "These're Nifflers. Yeh find 'em down mines mostly. They like sparkly stuff.... There yeh go, look. Useful little treasure detectors. Thought we'd have some fun with 'em today. See over there? I've buried some gold coins. I've got a prize fer whoever picks the Niffler that digs up most. Jus' take off all yer valuables, an' choose a Niffler, an' get ready ter set 'em loose." - Rubeus Hagrid to his fourth-year Care of Magical Creatures students by the way the suitcase has the same space extension enchantment that Hermione bag had :) but in Newt's case it's way WAAY more extensive hehe. Wandless magic is indeed very difficult and probably only most powerful wizards can master it fully, most wizards with more mediocre skill would be less likely to use magic to such extent without a wand.
What I love about Fantastic Beasts is that we get more background on the wizarding world especially back when Grindlewald was the “Voldemort” of that time, his history with Dumbledore, Newt’s love and devotion to his creatures, and the wizard culture in other countries like USA. I’m pretty sure many people told you that Ilvermorny is quite similar to Hogwarts especially in the sorting ceremony. They have four houses that a student can get sorted into. However instead of a hat that reads your personality, it’s four statues and you’re inside a Gordian knot in the center of a circular room and if the statue reacts to you that’s the house you’ve been sorted into. Each house is represented by parts of the body and each house favors certain types of students. I’ve taken my Illvermorny house test and got Pukwudgie the house that represents the heart and favors healers. 🧑🏽🦱🪄🦄
I'm so glad you are watching these movies! I think it gives you some neat insight on the history of the Wizarding World before the events of HP. Some neat facts! In the Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, when Harry is using the Marauder's map, there is an easter egg showing Newt Scamander's name! Also, in the HP books, one of the books required for new students is Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander!
They released some of the books mentioned on the Harry Potter books, like quidditch through the ages, the tales of beedle the bard(the one dumbledore gives to hermione in his will) and fantastic beasts and where to find them, but they come as in the story, explaining brooms, or telling the tales and in fantastic beasts they talk about the beasts and their classifications… but the fun thing is that we get to have notes from ron, hermione and harry in these books, it’s quite funny
Fun facts: luna lovegood marries newt’s grandson 2. Newt book is used as a textbook in the current Harry Potter world 3. Newt is also quite famous in the current Harry Potter timeline 4. In the movies when Harry is looking at the marauder’s map you see newt’s name walking to go see albus 5. His suitcase is called a vibrarium it can create multiple habits depending on what the owners needs
@@Shurororu If I remember correctly, Luna and Rolf don't get together until a little while later. I think, but what I do know for sure is that Luna's children are a decent bit younger than the golden trios. This could imply she doesn't meet Rolf until like early to mid twenties
Grindelwald was dumbledores best friend. He appears in deadly hallows 1 in pictures and as an elderly man when voldemort visits him in Nurmengard prison and ask him for the whereabouts of the elder wand. In the books he refuses to tell him showing respect for his old friend and voldemort kills him instead. He is also mentioned in HP 1 as the wizard defeated by dumblddore in what was considered the most legendary wizard duel that took place in 1945. Also, the woman whose appearence was impersonated by Nagini in deadly hallows is grindelwalds aunt.
“Cute” and “fun” and “I didn’t necessarily buy everything that I bought in Harry Potter” are basically the same thoughts I had when I first watched it!
I really like this movie and, even though I'm rather a loner with that opinion, think that the second one is even better than the first. It just brings the plot of the entire series so much more forwards in comparison to number one, which is on the other hand understandable, since they had to establish the new world, characters, premise etc.
The Grindelwald lore is part of the original Harry Potter books. It's mentioned or talked about multiple times, as well as having a bunch of connected objects like books spread throughout the Harry Potter story. Newts book is one of the required books he buys for school for instance. Its also mentioned as part of Dumbledore's lore, that he was the Wizard that took down Grindelwald.
@@holddowna I'll be honest, I'm sooo jealous. I remember reading the books as I was growing up, and it was one of the most fun and fulfilling reading experiences I had with a series of books. Which you only get reading the books the first time around, and one that I wish I could experience again... I remember re-reading the part in the first book over and over when the Hogwart's Acceptance letters first arrive, and Mr. Dursley piles everyone into their car, which he then proceeds to drive to random places muttering under his breath that each one wasn't good enough/far enough. Until finally arriving at the little island house. That cracked me up...🤣
You might be disappointed if you compare these to the Harry Potter movies since they have a different feel to them, but they’re visually very beautiful & you get to see some amazing bits of magic 🪄 Excited to see your reaction to the next one!
It was a pleasant surprise to see this reaction ❤️ This one might be a bit slow since they try to focus on the magical beasts and tried to get as much information out. Can't wait to see your reaction on the 2nd one, as it's my favorite! Though the majority won't agree, as it defies some timelines and it was released at the height of hatred towards JD. But nevertheless, still looking forward to more wizarding world content.
22:50 When I first saw that room I was thinking that’s way way over kill lol That’s death potion…in one of the HP movies they said even a drop can kill a room full of people….and that room has a pool of it lol insane
Bout pastries ideas... Remember. Newt told him that This bird has an ability to remove BAD memories... For ppl in this city it was a bunch of destruction, chaos e.t.c. For Covalski it was a journey :) There is a theory that he forgot the details but kept the images in his head because they weren't bad for him. 😉 P.S. 11.5 thousand subs and just 83 likes, Wtf ppl, Step on it! Push the button like it's mandrake-screaming being un-pushed! 🙉
I felt the same way, Ames, about watching the FB movies after loving HP so much. I hope you keep going... there are some good connections to other plotlines and characters in the wizarding world. Keep it up!
Really enjoyed this one when I found it. Such great characters developed within the story. I don’t have to imagine entering this country on a ship. I did it, with my Mum and Dad in 1956, on the R.M.S. Franconia. Visited peeps in New York and then on a plane to Los Angeles.
25:34...that's one of the most interesting facts we could see in the books...house elfs are damn powerful than a normal wizard. They can do stuffs which a wizard/witch can't even think about. (Just like how Dobby was able to apparate into the cellar in HP7 where nobody else could not and how Kreacher was able to retrieve the locket effortlessly while his "master" was helpless) But the sad part is that they are enslaved forever!!!!!!
In the books, the Nifler was used by Hagrid's class when he became a Professor. He hid 50 gallions in a freshly dug mound of dirt and the students had to pick a Nifler to search the mound. The student whose Nifler found the most coins would get a large bar of chocolate. As it happened Ron's Nifler found the most. The Murtlap was mentioned in the books when Hermoine recommended Murtlap oil to Harry to tend to the wounds on his hands from Umbridge's punishments. The Erumpent horn was something that Luna's father had in their house mounted on a wall. Hermoine told him that it was very dangerous and could explode, but he refused to believe it. Dumbledore's sister was turned into an Obscurial when she tried to hide her powers and was made fun of by some muggles boys who were then killed by Dumbledore's father.
I was hoping you would watch this one because I knew you'd enjoy the animals. Thanks for sharing your reactions! What's your favorite animal, fantasy and real?
So there were supposed to be 5 movies. Unfortunately due to controversy around JK, J Depp & now Ezra Miller; critical reviews; and failure of last film at box office, WB is not making the final 2 and seems instead to be focusing on a reboot of HP. ( I personally don’t think they need to remake HP, at least not yet). I really liked all 3 movies in part because I love all the critters immensely. I also think Eddie Redmayne is a wonderful Newt. And even though you heart & head is still in HP (I totally get that), watching them right after helps you pick up on little things. For next movie, pay attention to wands. 😊
So I had quite a bit of fun with these movies, Eddie is an almost constant joy BUT I do have issues from a technical, screenwriting perspective with all of the films. This one is the best of the three (from a script POV) but I still feel like it could have been tighter. There is no need for the senator/newspaper subplot, it adds absolutely nothing to the story & cutting it would really have helped the pacing a lot. We'll obv get to specifics when you watch the next two but completely generally speaking, I would describe the second film as "uneven", while the third is sadly a bit of a mess.
I disagree. The second one is a mess, there's too many stories going on at the same time and none of them progress the main story. The third one is a bit simple and empty, but at least it has a beginning, a middle and an end AND the main story progresses A LOT as well as the characters.
Gellert Grindlewald was the kid wizard that stole the Elder Wand, which Voldemort went to Azkaban to see and ask where he could find it, and Gellert told him Dumbledore had it.
Wowowow Nurmengard, his actually own tower where he used to prison his own enemies. Where Dumbledore himself made him prisoner. Nobody survives literally decades in Azkaban
I’m so glad your continuing the wizarding world with the prequels the first one this film won the franchise their first Academy Award (Oscars) for Best Costume Design it’s amazing released five years after the last HP movie in 2016. Well enjoy
Nifflers aren't mentioned in the HP movies but they are mentioned in Order of the Phoenix book. Remember Hermione's magical bag in Deathly Hallows? It's the same here with the case, Newt's portable menagerie so he can take care of his beasts while travelling. How did Newt know about Graves being fishy? Simple rewatch the interrogation scene. Graves mentioned the Grindelwald agenda and wanted to kill Newt as soon as he understood his cover was gonna be blown off. WHo else at that time could have possibly wanted to turn an Obscurial into a weapon of mass destruction and terror? Thunderbirds come from the native indians mythologies. In HP verse, they are cousins of Phoenixes. Occamy Eggs are made of silver remember, that's is worth a little sum, especially in times of Depression with inflation... Swooping Evil venom is properly diluted can take care of BAD memories. Jacob didn't have bad memories of magic, so it stayed in his subconscious until Queenie came back.
1. Hey! Have you started reading the books yet? 2. The _Fantastic Beasts_ films are not based on books, they are original screenplays written by J.K. Rowling. The books you can buy are either the screenplays to the films or the in-universe book "written Newt Scamander" that is an encyclopedia of magical creatures. 3. Definitely plan a trip to New York to go see the Harry Potter play, _Harry Potter and the Cursed Child._ *Do not read up on it or look up things about it or read the book beforehand.* The book is just the script of the play. It is an original two-part play co-written by J.K. Rowling that starts right at the end of the books/films and it is amazing to watch on stage.
@@holddowna Nice! Regarding what you were saying at the end of the video, I do think that a mistake some people who didn't get into these movies made was expecting "more Harry Potter", when this is not what that is. It is its own thing, set in the same world.
When I watched this one a few years back, I felt the same way. It was entertaining but I didn't care that much and I ended up forgetting most of it and not watching the 2 others 🙈 But last month I rekindled my HP love so I rewatched it and this time I loved it 🤷♀️ I'll watch the 2 others soon then watch your reactions 😊
So in the HP movies, they show Neville marrying Luna. However, in the books. Luna married Rufus Scamander who is Newt's grandson. Neville married Hannah Abbott.
@Hold Down A Yeah, the books are so much better than the movies. I also have to agree with your assessment of the "Fantastic Beasts" franchise. It really isn't all that "tissue worthy."
@@holddowna hey, if you continue reading, it will be a good content idea to give your thoughts on books... you can even break your review in multiple parts
Newt isn't so much the Chosen One, but he is Dumbledore's former best student. Unlike Harry, Newt Scamander is a Hogwarts graduate passionate about magical creatures. Newt's specialization in this obscure field and his self-created purpose makes him a better and more interesting hero than Potter Newt was clearly the more skilled wizard between him and Harry, there's no denying that. Newt isn't a conventional wizard, but he is one of the most powerful wizards in Harry Potter Newt appears to be a very competent wizard. Transfiguring his suitcase into magical habitats for his creatures shows some powerful ability, not to mention my dude newt had fight a healthy Grindelwald/graves newt didn't have much help from other wizards Harry had an entire school and of a bunch of trained adult wizards to take out his problem. Graves also had a lot more insight on newt and his weakness due to being disguise as Graves (he was also a magical law enforcement officer)
I think that alot of the "hate" that the Fantastic Beasts movies get is because this is about adults, operating in adult worlds, with adult motivations. Harry Potter was originally conceived of as for very young children and while Rowling aged up the books as she went along, they never became purely Adult books (the dedication to the "Deathly Hallows" book is "To the Children"). While the movies (under Yates) went darker earlier than the books, we were still following characters we first met as children. That never happened with the Fantastic Beasts characters, so can we accept Adults acting as Adults? For instance, take the theme of Parental Abuse of Children, which is present in both the Harry Potter Novels and in this first Fantastic Beasts movie. In the "Harry Potter" series, we only get the IMPLICATION that Harry is abused by his Aunt and Uncle - and too many people reading or watching the series happily gloss over it. In this movie, we not only see Credence being repeatedly abused by Mary Lou Barebones, it is what creates the Obscurus which drives the whole action in the movie. There's no possibility of ignoring the abuse Credence suffers, so viewers are compelled to accept that Mary Lou Barebones is an ABUSER in a way they were able to ignore the abuse inflicted by the Dursleys. Credence's character is also incredibly important in the other movies, so, again, the whole series hinges on the reality that Credence was abused by a Maternal figure and Maternal abuse of Children, while occurring far more than most people are comfortable with, is something Society as a whole is still not prepared to confront. So we have a VERY Adult theme in a series that most of the fandom still wants to see as " For Kids". Hence the "Hate"...
Oh ho ho, look at you, down the rabbit hole. Nice catch with Minority Report, that undeniable voice. I felt about the same in the end….a bit disconnected, much less drawn in compared to Harry Potter. I didn’t really love any one character the same way, though it was a “magical” movie, and neither of us really had anything to cry about, haha. Anyway, I kinda forgot a lot, as I watched during a bad case of covid. I’ll have to rewatch the first 2 and watch the 3rd one to keep up with you. Maybe I can try to connect with the story more, and it really is time for me to see The Secrets of Dumbledore.
Rewatched 1 & 2, then this reaction again, and will watch 3. So, I’m all caught up and ready for your next one. I was thinking of why HP was so captivating in comparison. I think it was easy to be invested in children and those that treat them well, and witness their development. You hope for them to grow up strong, protected, and to see them triumph over evil. So, HP had the most compelling underlying storyline along with being so well acted. I think that’s why Lockwood & Co on Netflix is soo good, plus the magical element. But, Magical Beasts was much better for me this time around (especially #2) catching a lot more and could follow you easier. Subtle thing at the end, after Queenie kisses Jacob, there is a thin stream of water extending upward from her wand, or the water is flowing around a “spell”. Hmmm. Their relationship makes you think about how they decide who get’s to be aware of the wizarding world, as “mixed marriages” become more accepted thru the years. See you in the second one!
This still can be a cool franchise, but as you can see, is not the same vibe than HP and is clear than in order to "accelerate" the production and make a good "blockbuster" they're killing what made HP an unforgettable story and make it just another franchise with a bunch of lightings, with I as a fan who read the books, hate. You might like to know than Rowling by Warner and production orders wrote FB script in just one year and next ones are not much better. Its so clear how much they just rid off the love of details in order to "finish the product on time". Even if they have an amazing cast. In the books, the battle Dumbledore-Grindelwald (wich is where these movies are being conducted despite the "fantastic beasts" name) it's described as "the most amazing magic battle of History of Magic" and I'm seriously worried is gonna being disappointing. Thanks warner.
@@holddowna Always!!! Lol.. white cheddar popcorn, Snickers n water.. but the mini Snickers, of course. My fav beast is Pickett (Bowtruckles live in the trees that the bark is fit for wand making, like the Elder Tree) so I got a slim Jim cuz it looks like a wand if u squint and hold it far away from you. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for reminding how funny and dark with a few tender moments this film is. Katherine Waterston is a talented stunner ( thats not sexists at all ) Eddie Redmayne is just class. Not taking away from the other actors and actresses but my favourite character was Teddy The Niffler. Determined cheeky little fellow. Ames another great emotional reaction. Cheer's Gorgeous.x 🇬🇧 Suggestion: Galaxy Quest. Sci-Fi comedy big names no spoilers here. I know you'll love it. Bye for now.
Honestly this movie was a huge let down. I saw it in the theater and I couldn't wait for it to be over. The closest I'll get to watching this movie again is seeing your reaction. That said, I actually liked the second and really enjoyed the third. It's a shame the box office reception of the third was so poor. I suspect the pandemic had a lot to do with it. It really deserves a proper ending.
I think newt carried this movie well, I love that he is socially awkward because it makes him more flawed and human but he’s also easy to root for because of his unconditional love for his creatures
Hey, glad you’re doing the Fantastic Beasts franchise but don’t forget the Harry Potter 20th anniversary special, as none of the actors of Harry Potter return for these movies. Anyways have a Great Day!
@@holddowna Please don't skip any scenes because there's an emotional moment with Robbie Coltrain RIP who played Hagrid also with all the other actors who passed
It's a lovely, fun film in its own right, but yeah it's very different from the HP series. I think you're right, you probably watched it too soon after finishing HP. Maybe leave the others for a few months, then re-watch this one before reacting to the rest? Still enjoyed though, thank you 🤩
Thanks so much for your comment Val! Your right it was still lovely and fun and while I was editing I think I enjoyed it more! But I may need a break because HP was just soooo amazing!!!

Jacob was drinking giggle water hence why he kept laughing. You have met Newt's grandson's wife in Harry Potter: see if you can figure out who it is!
😅
22:50
When I first saw that room I was thinking that’s way way over kill lol
That’s death potion…in one of the HP movies they said even a drop can kill a room full of people….and that room has a pool of it lol insane
Bout pastries ideas... Remember.
Newt told him that This bird has an ability to remove BAD memories...
For ppl in this city it was a bunch of destruction, chaos e.t.c.
For Covalski it was a journey :)
There is a theory that he forgot the details but kept the images in his head because they weren't bad for him. 😉
P.S. 11.5 thousand subs and just 83 likes, Wtf ppl, Step on it!
Push the button like it's mandrake-screaming being un-pushed! 🙉
Hahahhaha thanks!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I felt the same way, Ames, about watching the FB movies after loving HP so much. I hope you keep going... there are some good connections to other plotlines and characters in the wizarding world. Keep it up!
At about 26:00 that New York accent is Ron Perlman, AKA 'Hellboy' among other movies.
Magical America was interesting to me. I thought Graves was a much better character in his own right then the Grindelwald reveal.
Really enjoyed this one when I found it. Such great characters developed within the story.
I don’t have to imagine entering this country on a ship. I did it, with my Mum and Dad in 1956, on the R.M.S. Franconia. Visited peeps in New York and then on a plane to Los Angeles.
You don’t want a niffler. They destroy your house. Haggis mentions that in the books.
They cute thou!
25:34...that's one of the most interesting facts we could see in the books...house elfs are damn powerful than a normal wizard. They can do stuffs which a wizard/witch can't even think about. (Just like how Dobby was able to apparate into the cellar in HP7 where nobody else could not and how Kreacher was able to retrieve the locket effortlessly while his "master" was helpless) But the sad part is that they are enslaved forever!!!!!!
I have always wondered how wizards defeated or tricked them into eternal slavery? 🤔
In the books, the Nifler was used by Hagrid's class when he became a Professor. He hid 50 gallions in a freshly dug mound of dirt and the students had to pick a Nifler to search the mound. The student whose Nifler found the most coins would get a large bar of chocolate. As it happened Ron's Nifler found the most. The Murtlap was mentioned in the books when Hermoine recommended Murtlap oil to Harry to tend to the wounds on his hands from Umbridge's punishments. The Erumpent horn was something that Luna's father had in their house mounted on a wall. Hermoine told him that it was very dangerous and could explode, but he refused to believe it. Dumbledore's sister was turned into an Obscurial when she tried to hide her powers and was made fun of by some muggles boys who were then killed by Dumbledore's father.
If she wasn't going to read the books yet, then you just posted a spoiler for the third movie :(
It's very cute! 😊 Love the little love story and the happy ending in the bakery. 💕 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Yayy🥳...can't wait to see your reaction to the third one😍😍😍
I was hoping you would watch this one because I knew you'd enjoy the animals. Thanks for sharing your reactions! What's your favorite animal, fantasy and real?
I’ll have to think on it!! But cats/tigers and I love dragons!
So there were supposed to be 5 movies. Unfortunately due to controversy around JK, J Depp & now Ezra Miller; critical reviews; and failure of last film at box office, WB is not making the final 2 and seems instead to be focusing on a reboot of HP. ( I personally don’t think they need to remake HP, at least not yet). I really liked all 3 movies in part because I love all the critters immensely. I also think Eddie Redmayne is a wonderful Newt. And even though you heart & head is still in HP (I totally get that), watching them right after helps you pick up on little things. For next movie, pay attention to wands. 😊
I really hope they make the final 2 movies.
Oh my goodness, so glad you’re watching these! Enjoy!
✨✨✨
So I had quite a bit of fun with these movies, Eddie is an almost constant joy BUT I do have issues from a technical, screenwriting perspective with all of the films. This one is the best of the three (from a script POV) but I still feel like it could have been tighter. There is no need for the senator/newspaper subplot, it adds absolutely nothing to the story & cutting it would really have helped the pacing a lot. We'll obv get to specifics when you watch the next two but completely generally speaking, I would describe the second film as "uneven", while the third is sadly a bit of a mess.
That’s a great explanation John! Ya there was just something a miss! But I agree Eddie was amazing! Cast was great! Maybe too many beasts LOL
I disagree. The second one is a mess, there's too many stories going on at the same time and none of them progress the main story. The third one is a bit simple and empty, but at least it has a beginning, a middle and an end AND the main story progresses A LOT as well as the characters.
Gellert Grindlewald was the kid wizard that stole the Elder Wand, which Voldemort went to Azkaban to see and ask where he could find it, and Gellert told him Dumbledore had it.
And Grindelwald refused to tell Voldie about Elder Wand in the book.... which is the version i prefer.
Numergard not Azkaban but yeah
Wowowow Nurmengard, his actually own tower where he used to prison his own enemies. Where Dumbledore himself made him prisoner. Nobody survives literally decades in Azkaban
Wrong prison
Thanks for the correction guys
I’m so glad your continuing the wizarding world with the prequels the first one this film won the franchise their first Academy Award (Oscars) for Best Costume Design it’s amazing released five years after the last HP movie in 2016. Well enjoy
That’s cool! Because I noticed how amazing the 1920s costumes where!
Yay your back 😊. Great reaction like always.
👋🏽I’m back!! Thanks for watching!
Nifflers aren't mentioned in the HP movies but they are mentioned in Order of the Phoenix book.
Remember Hermione's magical bag in Deathly Hallows? It's the same here with the case, Newt's portable menagerie so he can take care of his beasts while travelling.
How did Newt know about Graves being fishy? Simple rewatch the interrogation scene. Graves mentioned the Grindelwald agenda and wanted to kill Newt as soon as he understood his cover was gonna be blown off. WHo else at that time could have possibly wanted to turn an Obscurial into a weapon of mass destruction and terror?
Thunderbirds come from the native indians mythologies. In HP verse, they are cousins of Phoenixes.
Occamy Eggs are made of silver remember, that's is worth a little sum, especially in times of Depression with inflation...
Swooping Evil venom is properly diluted can take care of BAD memories. Jacob didn't have bad memories of magic, so it stayed in his subconscious until Queenie came back.
Yes. Finally :) and i asked for it in the last vid for nothing. You knew where to go
The story of Grindelwald (although not close to this extend was in the Harry Potter books). and Newts Book is also mentioned.
1. Hey! Have you started reading the books yet?
2. The _Fantastic Beasts_ films are not based on books, they are original screenplays written by J.K. Rowling. The books you can buy are either the screenplays to the films or the in-universe book "written Newt Scamander" that is an encyclopedia of magical creatures.
3. Definitely plan a trip to New York to go see the Harry Potter play, _Harry Potter and the Cursed Child._ *Do not read up on it or look up things about it or read the book beforehand.* The book is just the script of the play. It is an original two-part play co-written by J.K. Rowling that starts right at the end of the books/films and it is amazing to watch on stage.
Yes I’m on book 1! Slow to start because I work and edit all day long! LOL but I am loving it!
@@holddowna Nice! Regarding what you were saying at the end of the video, I do think that a mistake some people who didn't get into these movies made was expecting "more Harry Potter", when this is not what that is. It is its own thing, set in the same world.
hey ames!
thanks Luisa!!!! Imm glad i watched this one!! but i am loving the first book so far!!! HP is just too good!
When I watched this one a few years back, I felt the same way. It was entertaining but I didn't care that much and I ended up forgetting most of it and not watching the 2 others 🙈 But last month I rekindled my HP love so I rewatched it and this time I loved it 🤷♀️ I'll watch the 2 others soon then watch your reactions 😊
Thanks for watching!!!!
So in the HP movies, they show Neville marrying Luna. However, in the books. Luna married Rufus Scamander who is Newt's grandson. Neville married Hannah Abbott.
The Niffler was first introduced in the book "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". It was a creature in Hagrid's classes, of course!
Can’t wait to get to that book!
@Hold Down A Yeah, the books are so much better than the movies.
I also have to agree with your assessment of the "Fantastic Beasts" franchise. It really isn't all that "tissue worthy."
i love how you keep saying buddy
I don't know if you know this, Harry read Newt's(Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) book as his syllabus at Hogwarts
I don’t just started book 1
@@holddowna hey, if you continue reading, it will be a good content idea to give your thoughts on books... you can even break your review in multiple parts
Happy to see someone atleast reacting on this Wizarding World.....I request you to complete the series 🙏
🇮🇳❤️
Yes!!! I've been waiting for more wizardry world reactions!!! 😀
Coin Farrel was an absolute boss cast for this movie as was Depp
He said the egg shells are made of silver, which is why he told Jacob not to pet the snake thing
My favorite part is when Queenie is making strudel for Jacob....
GREAT REACT & "Follow Your Bliss." ^_^
Newt’s book that he writes is one of the books that Harry Potter buys for his first year at Hogwarts
The first fantastic beasts is my favorite.
I love Eddie Redmayne ❤️
I love Eddie! He is great in The Danish Girl.
Ive rewatched harry potter so many time and re red the books but ive only just watched these last week
Thanks for watching!! Nice pic of CR7!
@@holddowna The goat and if you havent you should react to pirates if the carabien
The shells are pure silver! ( collateral)
You can also see the name Scammander on the marrauders map in Harry Potter movie
Can’t wait to go look
Yass these movies are so good tooooo
Newt isn't so much the Chosen One, but he is Dumbledore's former best student. Unlike Harry, Newt Scamander is a Hogwarts graduate passionate about magical creatures. Newt's specialization in this obscure field and his self-created purpose makes him a better and more interesting hero than Potter Newt was clearly the more skilled wizard between him and Harry, there's no denying that. Newt isn't a conventional wizard, but he is one of the most powerful wizards in Harry Potter Newt appears to be a very competent wizard. Transfiguring his suitcase into magical habitats for his creatures shows some powerful ability, not to mention my dude newt had fight a healthy Grindelwald/graves newt didn't have much help from other wizards Harry had an entire school and of a bunch of trained adult wizards to take out his problem. Graves also had a lot more insight on newt and his weakness due to being disguise as Graves (he was also a magical law enforcement officer)
I think that alot of the "hate" that the Fantastic Beasts movies get is because this is about adults, operating in adult worlds, with adult motivations. Harry Potter was originally conceived of as for very young children and while Rowling aged up the books as she went along, they never became purely Adult books (the dedication to the "Deathly Hallows" book is "To the Children"). While the movies (under Yates) went darker earlier than the books, we were still following characters we first met as children.
That never happened with the Fantastic Beasts characters, so can we accept Adults acting as Adults?
For instance, take the theme of Parental Abuse of Children, which is present in both the Harry Potter Novels and in this first Fantastic Beasts movie. In the "Harry Potter" series, we only get the IMPLICATION that Harry is abused by his Aunt and Uncle - and too many people reading or watching the series happily gloss over it. In this movie, we not only see Credence being repeatedly abused by Mary Lou Barebones, it is what creates the Obscurus which drives the whole action in the movie. There's no possibility of ignoring the abuse Credence suffers, so viewers are compelled to accept that Mary Lou Barebones is an ABUSER in a way they were able to ignore the abuse inflicted by the Dursleys. Credence's character is also incredibly important in the other movies, so, again, the whole series hinges on the reality that Credence was abused by a Maternal figure and Maternal abuse of Children, while occurring far more than most people are comfortable with, is something Society as a whole is still not prepared to confront.
So we have a VERY Adult theme in a series that most of the fandom still wants to see as " For Kids". Hence the "Hate"...
Oh ho ho, look at you, down the rabbit hole. Nice catch with Minority Report, that undeniable voice. I felt about the same in the end….a bit disconnected, much less drawn in compared to Harry Potter. I didn’t really love any one character the same way, though it was a “magical” movie, and neither of us really had anything to cry about, haha. Anyway, I kinda forgot a lot, as I watched during a bad case of covid. I’ll have to rewatch the first 2 and watch the 3rd one to keep up with you. Maybe I can try to connect with the story more, and it really is time for me to see The Secrets of Dumbledore.
Thanks for watching Maurice! Thanks for this comment!! Hope u recovered well from Covid!
@@holddowna Thanks Ames! Yeah that was a while ago and one time only. Me strong like bull now - haha.
Rewatched 1 & 2, then this reaction again, and will watch 3. So, I’m all caught up and ready for your next one. I was thinking of why HP was so captivating in comparison. I think it was easy to be invested in children and those that treat them well, and witness their development. You hope for them to grow up strong, protected, and to see them triumph over evil. So, HP had the most compelling underlying storyline along with being so well acted. I think that’s why Lockwood & Co on Netflix is soo good, plus the magical element.
But, Magical Beasts was much better for me this time around (especially #2) catching a lot more and could follow you easier. Subtle thing at the end, after Queenie kisses Jacob, there is a thin stream of water extending upward from her wand, or the water is flowing around a “spell”. Hmmm. Their relationship makes you think about how they decide who get’s to be aware of the wizarding world, as “mixed marriages” become more accepted thru the years. See you in the second one!
My dear welcome to Fantastic beast , you will find scenes and love stories that would me a chubby guy find hope
This still can be a cool franchise, but as you can see, is not the same vibe than HP and is clear than in order to "accelerate" the production and make a good "blockbuster" they're killing what made HP an unforgettable story and make it just another franchise with a bunch of lightings, with I as a fan who read the books, hate.
You might like to know than Rowling by Warner and production orders wrote FB script in just one year and next ones are not much better. Its so clear how much they just rid off the love of details in order to "finish the product on time". Even if they have an amazing cast.
In the books, the battle Dumbledore-Grindelwald (wich is where these movies are being conducted despite the "fantastic beasts" name) it's described as "the most amazing magic battle of History of Magic" and I'm seriously worried is gonna being disappointing. Thanks warner.
The next few movies are better, this one sets up the world
I just got off work and got the greatest surprise!!! THE GOAT STRIKES AGAIN!! Got my snacks, I'll be back to be annoying after I watch 🤷🏽♂️😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣thanks for watching KaiSean! YUM what snacks!
@@holddowna Always!!! Lol.. white cheddar popcorn, Snickers n water.. but the mini Snickers, of course. My fav beast is Pickett (Bowtruckles live in the trees that the bark is fit for wand making, like the Elder Tree) so I got a slim Jim cuz it looks like a wand if u squint and hold it far away from you. 🤣🤣🤣
Newt makes hufflepuff proud 🖤💛 🦡
His suitcase is like Hermione's bag, and the tent, bigger on the inside, like the TARDIS in Dr Who
Never seen dr who!
Are you going to do the other 2 Fantastic Beasts films?
Yes! I just needed a break because I loved HP sooo much and this was FUN but not the same! But they will come!
Heartbreak is difficult, I wish i'd not have had to do through it.
You learn about obscurus and nifflers in the Harry Potter books and some of these magical beasts
Thanks for reminding how funny and dark with a few tender moments this film is. Katherine Waterston is a talented stunner ( thats not sexists at all ) Eddie Redmayne is just class. Not taking away from the other actors and actresses but my favourite character was Teddy The Niffler. Determined cheeky little fellow. Ames another great emotional reaction. Cheer's Gorgeous.x 🇬🇧 Suggestion: Galaxy Quest. Sci-Fi comedy big names no spoilers here. I know you'll love it. Bye for now.
Love the Niffler! I’ve never seen galaxy quest!
@@holddowna it's not cheesey or cringe comedy and the effects are brilliant. No more hints but it's great. All the best and Cheer's Gorgeous.x 🇬🇧
Honestly this movie was a huge let down. I saw it in the theater and I couldn't wait for it to be over. The closest I'll get to watching this movie again is seeing your reaction. That said, I actually liked the second and really enjoyed the third. It's a shame the box office reception of the third was so poor. I suspect the pandemic had a lot to do with it. It really deserves a proper ending.
Them getting rid of Johnny Depp didn’t help either
You should react to Harry Potter 20th anniversary. It's truly emotional and beautiful
Omg it's so cool please react to the next 2 parts 🎉
Jacob’s laugh: *aHa Ha HA HA*
Glad to continue my what is now my sunday tradition even tho these films are no where near as good i atleast get to see more of your reactions :)
Thanks Rick ☺️☺️
I think newt carried this movie well, I love that he is socially awkward because it makes him more flawed and human but he’s also easy to root for because of his unconditional love for his creatures
I also love him and his awkwardness!
Newt and Tina’s grandson is Luna’s husband in HP lore
Thats was a "Thunderbird"
Occamy eggshells are made out of silver
Hilariously my Irish Wolfhound is named Frank.
It’s a series that was supposed to be five movies. It’s stopped at three. There will be no more. And that was a shame.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
2016
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
2018
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
2022
Actually the costume design won an Oscar.
Cool!
I saw the books on Amazon
Thunderbirds bring the rain
Hey, glad you’re doing the Fantastic Beasts franchise but don’t forget the Harry Potter 20th anniversary special, as none of the actors of Harry Potter return for these movies. Anyways have a Great Day!
Yes she needs to react to it
@HoldDownA Please see this comment
I will watch don’t you worry!!
@@holddowna Please don't skip any scenes because there's an emotional moment with Robbie Coltrain RIP who played Hagrid also with all the other actors who passed
You HAVE to react to the Harry Potter reunion pls
Watch the sequels after
Fun Fact About The Fantastic Beast Movies Is That They Are Prequels Before The Harry Potter Movies
Ames, it didn't seem that you noticed; Newt's scarf was Hufflepuff!
I think I did! But maybe not til 2? I dunno ahhahaha
It's a lovely, fun film in its own right, but yeah it's very different from the HP series. I think you're right, you probably watched it too soon after finishing HP. Maybe leave the others for a few months, then re-watch this one before reacting to the rest? Still enjoyed though, thank you 🤩
Thanks so much for your comment Val! Your right it was still lovely and fun and while I was editing I think I enjoyed it more! But I may need a break because HP was just soooo amazing!!!
You should watch the 20th anniversary of harry potter.....
Watch the sequels after plz
NYC is a great place to visit, tons to see & do here. But save up a lot of money before you visit here lol
Heheh!
@@holddowna Oh & every year there is a Harry Potter exhibition here
