actually Grindelwald and Dumbledore were more than blood brothers, Dumbledore is gay-they swore never to fight each other due to the love they had for each other
I loved the 1st movie- the feel, creativity and beauty. I really like how Eddie Redmayne created Newt and love the fantastic beasts and, of course, my favourite Kowalsky. The next 2 movies- not so much. Maybe you are right and they are fillers. I really wish they still make the next 2 movies and we get to see how the stories continue and get resolved. I hope they return to the feel and flair of the first movie and let the fantastic beasts cast their magic over us. I give a 4.6 to the first movie and a 3 to the second.
This was the lesser one. I felt the circus investigation scene was just a bit too hand-wavey. Gold dust seeing and hearing past, boom. A feather, boom. The cat creature, boom. Almost like "hey if you've never seen any Potterverse movie at all, here's all the fun setting tones and ideas in one scene." Hamfisted and unnecessary.
Two quick things 1. Aurelius isn't who you saw in Deathly Hallows. That was Dumbledore's brother Aberforth. Aurelius will be explained later. Even the fans didn't know about him before this movie. 2. The snake girl, Nagini, is the Horcrux snake that was Voldemort's pet. The one Neville killed.
@@bradleybarnett1469her being a maledictus is why she permanently became a snake, it’s a family blood curse on women. By the time we see her in HP, she has long since permanently become a snake. Probably longer than she was ever human.
Not sure if you guys remember in Harry Potter deathly hallows part 1. Voldemort visited Grindelwald in prison to ask where the elder wand was. Also Negini is voldemorts snake in the movies
As mixed as my feelings are about these films, one thing I’ll say for them is Newt is an intriguing shift in protagonist. Harry was brash, bold and quick to act whereas Newt is more thoughtful and restrained. An interesting change of pace.
I also like that Harry didn’t want to be involved in this war though it had everything to do with him while Newt chose to be in it even though it had nothing to do with him.
@@taimurmuggo1634 that’s one of hufflepuff’s traits… we fight or get involved because that’s the right thing to do, Newt got involved because of justice, he knew it was the right thing rather than “wanting to be involved”
A couple of connections between this and harry potter that i didn't see mentioned below: 1. When Nicholas Flemmel opens the cabinet the sorcerors stone was in it 2. The mirror that Dumbledore looked in is the same mirror Harry saw his parents in 3. The snake Nagini is Voldemorts snake 4. Leta lastrange is an in law to bellatrix, LaStrange is Bellatrix's married name. Bellatrix and narcissa (draco's mom) are sisters and they are Black's cousins to sirius black 5. You saw grindelwald in the mirror. Grindelwald is the same person that stole the elder wand. Him and Dumbledore had a blood pack in the past. You learn SO SO much more about Grindelwald and Dumbledores in the Deathly Hollows book. There is more but these are the big ones.
Exactly...that's what makes him so unique...he convinced them...And he was powerful too... Johnny did justice to this character... didn't like the mads Mikkelsen's approach though
@@ajaydasme6613 I didn't like either, I was always confusing him with tha minister guy who is really similar, not even noticed he had the blue eye in the beggining, he was a weak character.....
And you can trust the wrong person. For me Voldermort and Grindelwald are the same, The Agenda is the same, one do it straight forward and the other do it behind a smoke curtain. I personally would not trust a person that have so much prejudices and supremecy thinking as Grindelwald have.
The Appleton Oak has the greatest character arc in reaction channel history. Went from dismissing the Potter series as a kids movie and watching the film just for the sake of it to going through the books, buying merch and installing them at his desk till Badd Medicine exists and being a super hardcore fan. Splendid!!! ❤️
@gpk131 you are on the naughty list!!!! He's a HP character. Besides I live in Switzerland, it's a free country, I can say whatever I like. Enjoy your coal
? You must be over 40. The original comment is about Oak becoming a potter fan, and you commented under it about your cat. What in the world does your cat being named Albus Dumbledore have to do with Oak becoming a massive potter fan? Why would you leave that unrelated comment in a REPLY to someone else talking about something else? Are you okay? @@weaponizedglitter69
I love these non HP movies because we get to see the more serious side of the adult magical world. They are able to show bigger cooler magic as well as more dramatic acting and story plots. And I am sure that others will say this but Nagini, Credence's circus friend is the same snake Voldemort makes his horcrux.
I really love how far Oak has come into fandom for the sci-fi/fantasy movies he’s missed out on with the Potter franchise, LOTR franchise, and the Hunger Games. You guys have some of the best and most thoughtful genuine reactions!
@@davidbaye3758 What great for you is that you don't have to wait for these movies to come out like the rest of us did! You're really going to enjoy yourself watching these movies!
I’m a flight attendant and right after they have finished filming the 3rd movie Jude Law was my passenger and as a potter head I didn’t know how to react when I recognized his eyes as I’m sure even though he’s with mask I know Dumbledore. But i’m a fan of his in general. I cried a little in the toilet in amazement but wanna respect his privacy with his family. At the end of the flight couldn’t help but talk to him and tell him im a fan and even was excited for the 3rd one. All he said was Oh you will love it! It will be amazing 🥲 He’s such a down to earth person and even told me if I wanna have photos but unfortunately my phone was in my bag far from me was already about to leave. But it will be forever in my core memory 🥰 So as I was so excited for the movie to come out that time, I’m also excited for you guys to see the 3rd one ❤️
The Malidictus...woman/snake... Nagini... you already know her. She is the same snake that becomes Voldemort's, but by then, the transformation is permanent. Also... this series does not end with the next movie, it is supposed to be 5 movies, climaxing with the final duel between Dumbledore and Grindlewald in 1945. And speaking of them... (you learn this in the books) they meet as young men and become inseparable until the death of Arianna, Dumbledore's little sister.. Not explicitly said in the books, but definitely hinted, is that they were lovers. This was confirmed by J.K.R. later. The scene where Dumbledore is looking in the Mirror of Erised, you are seeing a young Dumbledore and Grindlewald together.
@@IamNinjaOfNinja he killed Bertha Jorkins to make Nagini a horcrux back in 1994 and used her as a pawn to gain valuable information for the Triwizard Tournament that he then used to try and kill Harry as we all saw/read in Goblet of Fire. When he had no more use for her, he killed her and viola, Nagini became a horcrux.
I'm not sure if you guys have watched the 3rd movie yet or not, but hoping I can give you a heads up before you go into it, that they recast Grindlewald from Johnny Depp to Mads Mikkelsen. I know this will be probably fairly controversial for you guys, but... I personally think he does a freakin' fantastic job.
Because of the allegations against him by Amber Heard, when everyone turned against him. Nothing to do with his performance or anything. Just felt that had to be stated
I think you guys missed them saying it, but the girl/snake, that's Nagini, Voldemort's snake/horcrux. Also, the brother in the mirror was Alberforth, Creedence is Aurelius. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. I love these series, but I get the people that don't. I just love how free they can be with magic and creatures. Next one is one of my favorites. For me it's 1>3>2.
@@tittrev Maybe because Nagini nourished him and helped him survive in between book 2 and 4? Maybe because he thought Nagini would be a safer horcrux to make because she can defend herself.
@@laurieallen436 perhaps… but it leaves a bit of a gap… Nagini was originally human who ended up permanently transfigured into snake form. She also was in love with a relative of Dumbledore. Seems a bit too close to home
@@tittrev yeah, that's what happens when stories are retconned poorly. And then she disappeared in the third movie. So until jkr does something with her again, it's just convenient coincidence
@@Starfish0. That would be very odd, though. To have him come back after someone else played him. Unfortunately they might end now. They made their bed.
@@moonlitskylight5740 I know but it would be better to have him back, the fans would support him and it would be good for the movies. He played 2 films the other guy only one (the worst in tickets btw). So yeah they payed for their mistake.
idk about you guys but Leta saying "You never met a monster you coundn't love" to Newt was heartbreaking for me, not only it shows she could never forgive herself for what she did but also shows she knows newt actually loves her..... And when she said "i love you" and they didn't clarified who she was talking to, I think it was kinda with both of them.... she probably didn't chose Nwet cause she thought he deserved someone better...
I do appreciate how disdain and disinterest in the abilities and importance of animals is often the downfall of villains in the Potter universe. It's also why Newt so often succeeds against skilled Dark wizards, who overlook the intelligence and skills of creatures.
Great reaction guys 👍🏻 The Young man in the mirror was the young Grindelwald. He is played by Jamie Campbell Bower, and has already appeared in the Harry Potter movies. He and Dumbledore used to be in love
I got the notification and literally dropped what I was doing to watch this!!!! - I love you guys reactions, I found u guys at the start of the hunger games and have binge watched your videos since then
I was so sad to see Queenie get seduced; you would think she would be the last. And that line of Leta's: "Newt, you never met a monster you couldn't love". Almost sure she was referring to herself. Except she really wasn't a monster.
Queenie is very innocent, she thought Grindelwald would do something for her to get married with a muggle, he used her and she could not even imagine that Grindelwald hates muggles and want them stop existing. But she can read minds, i dont know if she knows and ignored it, or he did something that she can not read his mind, maybe a spell.
I've seen this before but only JUST realized while watching this that Owls were being used in the Ministry. It's a great spot of continuity since Arthur mentions in the 5th movie on the way to Harry's trial that they used to use owls but switched to paper planes!! EDIT: Upon further consideration. They included they magical "Rumba" because like of the Owl droppings. Arthur said they switched because of the mess.
5:56 I think the way this introductory conversation is shot is really fantastic, it makes a point of showing how Newt actually looks at Leta's face - he very rarely makes eye contact with people.
@@JuanJose-vb8dy It wasn't a "flop." The 3rd Fantastic Beasts movie doubled it's budget. Sure, it's the least successful film in the series (and probably the worst) but they're doing all five films.
@@Shadowman4710 actually WB has said that it has no plans to continue the series at this point. I think the controversy with JK, Depp and Ezra, and drop in profit and poor reviews after last one, we are done. 😭
I really love Grindelwald he's such a great villain . I feel like people misunderstand that character saying that he's not as frightening as voldemort which makes sense to think that bcuz voldemort was feared by everyone . But Grindelwald is just as frightening bcuz of the way he manipulates people to follow him and how good he seems to them although it's all just to get more powerful and to conquer the magic and non-magic world
Have you ever considered watching a Jane Austen movie? I think you'd enjoy it a lot more than you might expect. Austen has a wonderful grasp of characters that shines through all the 19th century etiquette and mannerisms. I think you'd really enjoy the 1995 _Sense and Sensibility,_ not least because it has Alan Rickman playing a genuinely good guy for a change, and many other cast members you'll recognize from the HP movies, including star and adaptation writer Emma "Trelawny" Thompson!
That would be interesting to see. Great actors- and of course Alan Rickman. A very different Alan Rickman, not just playing the good guy, but also in 18th century wardrobe and language. Maybe another journey from : „I don’t think those are for me“ to „ I love those movies!“
I wonder whether, after Grindlewald, after everywhere he perceived his ego had lead, Dumbledore decided staying at Hogwarts, being "a regular old wizard" as much as possible was the best choice to make.
There are 2 notable inconsistencies in this film. McGonagall didn't start teaching at Hogwarts until nearly 50 years later and Dumbledore taught Transfiguration, not Defense Against the Dark Arts. And it wasn't Creedence he saw in the Mirror, it was a young Grindelwald. The two of them were romantically involved when they were teenagers.
We only know that Dumbledore taught Transfiguration before becoming Headmaster which happens way later. We also know he was Outstanding in all chosen classes and that he doesn't like Divination. Aside from History of Hogwarts (because of Prof. Binns) he could and probably would (if that subject is free) have taught every subject.
and nobody cares, since the majority doesn't even know this. Of course it's always the hard core fans who whine the loudest and be vocal about those InCoNsIsTeNcIeS. Those were fanservice scenes, nothing more and people enjoyed them for what they are.
17:51 SHE HAS EYES JUST LIKE A SALAMANDER no because literally i got teary in the cinema watching this the first time because everyone laughed but i totally get that for newt, he was in full romantic mode - HE KNOWS WHAT HER EYES LOOK LIKE AND HE LOVES IT. he doesn't even MAKE eye contact with people, so to be thinking about tina's eyes?????? ROMANCE.
Johnny depp as grindelwald was just perfect. that speech of his when he entering into the stage it was goosebumps. i really liked Johnny as the villian it was perfect Aura and perfectly intimidating personality.
Finally the reaction I have been waiting for. Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwad were lovers. Dumbledore is gay, he was in love with Grindelwald. That's why the made a bloodpact/oath so that they can't fight each other. The ones you see on the Mirror of Erised were young Dumbledore and Grindelwald. The Mirror of Erised is spelled Desire when it reads backward. That mirror shows you your deepest desire. And Albus' deepest desire was to be one with Grindelwald. That's why they're exchanging blood. Their photograph was in the book Hermione read in the dean forest during winter when she and Harry camped. The book called The Life and The Lies of Albus Dumbledore by Rita Skeeter.
I hope you guys read this..Since you guys liked movies that had deep meanings/life lessons especially Oak, I really recommend you guys to watch The Haunting of Hill House. It’s a horror series (10 eps) but trust me you wont regret it. It’s so much more than just scary ghost or jump scare, its a beautiful horror story :’)
No, Dumbledore was never a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. They made it up for the movie, even JK Rowling stated he did not teach this subject before. Also, Mcgonagall wasn't even born for another 8 years when this movie took place. They only added her so that people would go "Ohh, Mcgonagall, I know her from that other thing!!"
Mads is a fantastic actor and could’ve been good if he Grindelwald from the start. But he wasn’t. Continuity is key in films with actors and axeing depp was so disappointing:(
The worst thing about this movie is that it is so confusing because the script is written like a book and not a movie and that fault lies entirely to JK Rowling and that's a common critique you will see in the next movie as well...when you read the script of the movie it translates much better because there are so many minute details and scenarios that are only exclusive to how a book would be written and its very difficult to translate that to a visual medium and nobody even explains it to you in the movies what those details are so you leave confused as to what's going on, that's why these movies have been having so many problems because while the script is confusing to adapt
A lot of people hated on this movie in particular, but it’s actually my favorite of the FB series so far. I love the tie in of WWII with Grindelwald gaining followers and being the wizarding world’s version of Hitler as the real one rises to infamy. Compelling speeches that ease the listeners into a distaste for muggles, then a disdain, followed by the discrimination of muggles, that could likely lead to a holocaust of muggles. The implications are there in this film without it being over the top obvious. Fun Fact: Nagini (the maladictus snake girl) will eventually become a snake permanently. That is the nature of what she is. And guess who ends up with a pet snake named Nagini…!!! Also, to answer the question at the end: I think it’s harder to do a good sequel series than a good prequel. A sequel has to follow something great and keep the audience engaged. A prequel simply has to establish the lore that’s already there and already has the fanbase built in (usually by them having requested it).
The creatures of the magical world are based on different mythologies even though J.K.Rowling created many of her own. Most of them are form different countries’ mythologies. Centaurs, Phoenix, mermaids, basilisk, Pegasus, Cerberus (the three-headed-dog), hippogriffs, chimaera… etc are from Hellas🇬🇷 Creatures like: vampires, trolls, fairies, goblins, kelpies, grindylow, imps, gnomes, unicorns… etc are from the Celtic-British mythology Other creatures like kappa are from Japan. The kelpies are shape-shifting spirits of Scottish folklore🏴 They are spirits that they live in the Scottish Lochs (lakes) and the appear as black horses. In Scotland, at the city of Falkirk there a huge statue of two Kelpies!
I’m so pumped for all these future journies! I found y’all through Harry Potter and now you guys just keep pumping out these AWESOME reactions. Hunger games, Harry Potter, pirates of Caribbean coming up next!! This is nuts! Y’all should check out the maze runner saga and for tv series, check out the witcher! They’ll suit all your fantasy intrigue!!
I'm just super excited for your reaction as to WHY Albus really can't move against Grindelwald. I mean, I couldn't tell if you guys picked up on it aside from the pact but oh man. That last movie and the scene that explains the necklace... chef's kiss right there. I eagerly await the next vid because that last movie had me shook in places.
I don't think you noticed that the snake turning girl suffering from maladictus is called Nagini. Vauldemort's snake is called Nagini. It's the same snake. 🐍
I swear man, I started watching you guys when you started the harry potter series and its developing into a sort of addiction, im always checking if you guys have uploaded a new video and im so excited to watch this one. I don't know what it is but u guys and ur different personalities make these videos so much fun! Keep up the great work!
You guys need to watch a very potter musical by starkid! Its on youtube and is like a parody if sorts. But it's amazing. There are 3 - AVMP, A very potter sequel and a very potter senior year. They are brilliant and would be a perfect way to add to your Harry potter reactions!!!
I could never get into this movie. I thought personally the plot was really messy and this movie didn't know what it wanted. It was also incredibly underwhelming for having Johnny Depp and Jude Law in it. The beasts were definitely my favorite part but even that couldn't get me to like it. You guys are the few who actually enjoyed it I guess. I just expected a lot more from a movie from the Harry Potterverse.
Apperently The idea of Harry potter world came to J.K On A Train & Thats how they Travel to Hogwarts i Never knew that until seeing comments, thas why i love watchin reactions always new stuff
For me I found the writing weak. It made no sense to me that Queenie switches sides or at least it wasn't developed enough. The plot was rushed and the characters choices were so out of character for me. This was where I could see that JK is a book writer and not a screenplay writer. Idk. I just found it extremely disappointing but I'll try again soon. Maybe I'll change my mind. My husband loves it and thinks I'm crazy haha. I loved the first FB. 😍
Some names you heard in this movie might be familiar: Nagini: she will become Voldemort's pet snake Travers: he is an Auror, but his son (or grandson) will be part of Voldemort's Inner Circle Rosier: her relative, Evan Rosier, will also become part of Voldemort's Death Eaters!
What I love about this movies is that we have the chance to see not kids and students, but full-grown people, graduated (or expelled) from school, with all the spells they know. But still, I like the HP saga better
From my understanding, this second movie is the weakest of the three made so far. All in all, as all over the place that the story is, it's still a decent movie. The next movie is my favorite as they re-cast Grindelwald to Mads Mikkelsen who I think does a much better job. I've read there is meant to be 5 movies in this series; fingers crossed that works out so we can see more great reactions from you guys!
I echo what you said: 1 is just a little better than 2, but I still love this movie so much. Perfect casting for young Dumbledore in Jude Law and love that we went back to Hogwarts a little bit. Eddie just plays Newt perfectly and just represents the Hufflepuff house so well. Also I'm so glad they keep introducing new magical beasts, after all this is a Fantastic Beasts movie. PS: Sequels are differently harder to make. There are a bunch of prequels that did pretty well.
I love this movie for Johnny Depp's magnetic performance alone. Everything he does is fascinating to me in here. ..there are a few weird things though, like the fact that McGonagal wasn't yet born when this movie takes place. Disappointing if things like that are really just due to laziness
I think if you’ve only watched the HP movies you can enjoy these for what they are, and they’re not bad movies at all, the expansion of the magical world is great. But the reason book readers dislike them is because they break a lot of established rules and lore from the original series. The ages of characters don’t match, Dumbledore taught transfiguration not defense against the dark arts, Jacob remembering contradicts what we know about the obliviate spell, etc, etc. If you don’t focus much on that, they’re fun movies to watch! Great reaction as always!!
Watched the last reaction a couple of minutes ago and now I´m even more exited to watch the second one. Love the movie and now I will see wether you like it too
So, a few things: 1. Dumbledore never taught defense against the dark arts. He taught transfiguration before McGonagall. 2. McGonagall is technically not even born in this movie. Shes just cheap fan-service, nothing more. 3. The Bloodpact makes no sense based on the original timeline and is just a cheap plot-device.
oh once more, when Dumbledore and Grindelwald said they're more than friend.. actually they're "more".. It's a tragic-but-not-so-tragic Dumbledore's one sided love
Jamie Campbell Bower is literally in every movie universe. Seriously, he's young Grindelwald, he's on Twilight, he's on Stranger Things, and he's on Sweeney Todd (which is quite funny since Johnny Depp is also in there)
Something that people complain about the next one is that Grindelwald was replaced. Johnny Depp lost the role because of his ex wife accusations. Do watch the next one with an open heart without thinking about Depp too much and you might also enjoy it!
In case you didn't noticed. Grindelwald has elder wand. He has one of deathly hallows. Dumbledore has clock stone was on tom riddles mother's ring jewel. Nagini girl is one of hocrux of voldemort. His pet.
The young man in the mirror is Grindelwald. In HP Deathly Hallows Grindelwald is the young boy who steals the Elder wand. Which is in his hand at the opening of this movie. I am surprised you didn't recognise it. I did at once.
Aurelius Dumbledore never was in an original story in books. Dumbledore has only a sister and brother in the Harry Potter, Aurelius character was invented for those movies.
Aurelius was never ever mentioned anywhere before this movie, so you haven't seen anything about him before. Still pretty confused about how on earth it fits into the canon tbh so guess we just have to accept it isn't logical
Sorry, rewatching this and noticed something that made me laugh. My grandma dances a little "jig" as she calls it that looks exactly like Nicholas Flamel's run! that's so hilarious. She's 92. 🤣
I hope the 2 movies is when Dumbledore meet Voldemort as a kid for the 4th and the 5th will be how the order of phoenix formed and fought him. So maybe for another 5 years. So the original trio will be age appropriate for the cursed child.
@@bardart703 The Fantastic Beasts movies were supposed to end on movie 5 with the big battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, so your theory is unlikely, unless they fully switch that up.
@@bardart703 I can almost guarantee that won't happen. We're building up to the battle of Dumbledore and Grindlewald. That's if we get the final 2 movies
@@Heather61776 um I think they capped it off on the last right? And I read before that it wouldve span for 5 decades? 5 decades means wew will see the scene where dumbledore met the young voldemort and ending in late 70s -80s where harry was born or a baby.I dunno I think the last one ended the grindelwald saga.
@@rhilou32 i hope they do cuz nobody cares about it anymore and Im ok with another chapter like order of the phoenix fought voldemort so it ties it to harry potter beggining.
Some information ;) : - There are 5 movies planned ;) Only 3 came out already. - Aurelius is a completely new character, not the one you saw in the mirror in Deathly Hallows, that one is Alberforth (not sure of the spelling) - Personally I really love these movies too! And I love all the cute beasts and Newt and the Potter universe expanding. I think what I don't like are inconsistencies with the Potter knowledge. For example, McGonagall wasn't even supposed to be there at this time. Because of the dates or something, she would have been not born yet or very young, I forgot. - P.S. Maybe you've already watched it, but warning for the next movie. I cried a lot and when you'll see it you'll know why. 😢
Part of the reason Potterheads dont like these is because of JK retconning for "fan service". She actually removed McGonagall's birthday from Pottermore because in the regular series, she hadn't been BORN yet when Dumbledore was fighting Grindlewald, let alone teaching! A lot of things don't line up, like that (several of the Fantastic beasts we meet in these movies aren't even in the book Newt writes (and Hogwarts has as a text book - which is published for us Muggles, btw)"Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them", even though the point of Newt's journey is to gather info for said book. It just isn't as well thought out as the HP series.
I agree with your assessment that there were fans who didn't like these movies because they weren't from the original Canon of books.. It's almost as if they felt it was sacrilegious. . But JK Rowling didn't seem to feel that way I looked at this series of three films as a separate entity and I judge them on their own merit. I certainly enjoyed the trilogy. it was well done I loved that it led to a tie back to Harry and Ron and Hermione in the library trying to find a book on Nikolas Famel and the very brief mention they made of Grindelwald as being a wizard who went bad. I enjoy watching your reactions and look forward to seeing what's next!
I do like more Harry Potter content (And I really love Newt’s character!), but these Fantastic Beasts movies have to be taken with a grain of salt They stray far from what we know in the books, for example, in Book 5 Umbridge asks Professor McGonagall how long she has been teaching, and she says 39 years. Which means she started teaching in 1956, which is years after the events of these movies. And Dumbledore is known to have taught Transfiguration, not DADA A lot of these movies is just fan service
I couldn’t quite put my finger on why I didn’t like this movie. Until I watched some reviews that pointed out having a novelist write the screenplay was their biggest mistake. Even if you are a brilliant writer, pacing between book and film are entirely different. And why books need to be changed and adapted for screen. I had some other issues apart from this but that explained a lot of them. I still enjoy watching the reactions though, even if I don’t entirely like the movie.
I love that they touch on the ministry trying so hard to control the people and it's making it worse. Gives background on why Dumbledore/minsitry butt heads. They just went in and punked Dumbledore in his class. At the end they had to go back with their tails between their legs because they messed up. Also funny note that the Auror who killed the woman at the end, ended up joining Grindelwald 😂
I just unfortunately find this movie so hard to follow. Seems so disjointed and failed to keep my attention. Biggest let down in the franchise for me. I don’t even want to see the newest one.
At the end of the last movie, right before Grindelwald (as Mr Graves) revealed his true nature. We saw a slight tiny piece of the Obscurus fly away. It was a remnant of Credence, which is how he survived. Also immortality without suspended aging or Eternal youth is a terrifying thing.
This movie pissed me off quite a bit when I first watched it. Over all, I think it's... ehh, alright as entertainment, but I really hope it''ll all eventually come together and get tied into an actual story. We learn about the Lestrange/Kama family, and Leta's brother. We think it might be Credence. Apparently not. That lead to nowhere. Queenie goes from slightly quirky to bat shit crazy in no time flat. I honestly don't really understand her actions or behavior in this movie. If anyone is under the effects of a spell or potion, it should be her, not Jacob. Credence being a Dumbledore... that was the biggest 'sorry, what?' of all. In the HP books we learn a whole lot about the Dumbledore family, and we know Albus only had one brother, and one sister: Aberforth and Arianna. If he'd had another brother, who had been lost to his family for many many years, I'm pretty sure it would've been knowledge to us through Rita Skeeter's book 'The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore'. It explained everything else, and this would've definitely been hot gossip. I simply couldn't nor wanted to believe even a single word of it. So then... I wondered if Grindelwald was lying, that he said it so that Credence would come to hate Dumbledore, and would go after him to kill him, but he's ultimately not a Dumbledore... Possible, but that would've been horrible from a viewer's standpoint, because the cliffhanger was a falsety. Then there's the timeline error of Professor McGonagall being a teacher at Hogwarts YEARS before she was even born. How'd she manage that one? Will we ever get an answer to it? I don't know. I want one though, because that's a decent oversight right there. I suppose it shouldn't matter too much, but it does. Not just to me, but quite a few Potterheads out there. Characters who saved this movie: Jacob, Newt, Tina, Pickett, cute little Nifflers. And of course, Johnny was quite decent as Grindelwald, pretty sure he can make me sympathize with their cause. Sadly, he won't be in the third movie, because of a lot of trouble, allegations, lawsuits (which he won yay!), etc. His role will be taken by someone else. He also does a good job, and I'll accept him as Grindelwald as well, but he's no Johnny. Anyways, looking forward to your reaction to the 3rd movie!
Dumbledore actually taught transfiguration, not defence against the dark arts. They changed it for the movie because... no reason actually. I have no idea why they did it.
I was pretty "ayo, what the f---?!" about the Aurelius Dumbledore thingy but when I saw the 3rd movie, I was like "damn..." I gotta say tho, get ready for the new Grindelwald in the 3rd film. Mads is amazing!
I Love this series alot. idk why so many hp fans dont like the fantastic beasts movies i think they are amazing. These fist two are very goood movies. this next movie is not though. it is bad, like ruin the series bad. i hope they do onw more and finish the story well but this next movie was terribly done.
Idk. I think I'd take "salamander eyes" as a compliment. If it came from someone like Newt, someone who loves all animals and stranger creatures so much.🤷
A solid follow up to the first one, but the first is still slightly better. Did you expect more or less from this film? What was your reaction to this? Give us your rating for the movie 1-5 scale.

actually Grindelwald and Dumbledore were more than blood brothers, Dumbledore is gay-they swore never to fight each other due to the love they had for each other
@@myidiocyatmyfinest Yup, but that scene was completely cut in my country, which is very anti gay even been protests lately.
That maledictus "Nagini" is the horcrux snake that followed Voldemort.
I loved the 1st movie- the feel, creativity and beauty. I really like how Eddie Redmayne created Newt and love the fantastic beasts and, of course, my favourite Kowalsky.
The next 2 movies- not so much. Maybe you are right and they are fillers.
I really wish they still make the next 2 movies and we get to see how the stories continue and get resolved. I hope they return to the feel and flair of the first movie and let the fantastic beasts cast their magic over us.
I give a 4.6 to the first movie and a 3 to the second.
This was the lesser one. I felt the circus investigation scene was just a bit too hand-wavey. Gold dust seeing and hearing past, boom. A feather, boom. The cat creature, boom. Almost like "hey if you've never seen any Potterverse movie at all, here's all the fun setting tones and ideas in one scene." Hamfisted and unnecessary.
Two quick things
1. Aurelius isn't who you saw in Deathly Hallows. That was Dumbledore's brother Aberforth. Aurelius will be explained later. Even the fans didn't know about him before this movie.
2. The snake girl, Nagini, is the Horcrux snake that was Voldemort's pet. The one Neville killed.
yup. shes also technically kanibal or tho you could say voldemort force her to eat people
@@alibabapirce9782 well, she permanently becomes a snake due to something, so she's not exactly a cannibal anymore
@@bradleybarnett1469her being a maledictus is why she permanently became a snake, it’s a family blood curse on women. By the time we see her in HP, she has long since permanently become a snake. Probably longer than she was ever human.
@@bradleybarnett1469 I mean sure but he said "technically" which is true.
but how did she permanently become a snake?
Not sure if you guys remember in Harry Potter deathly hallows part 1. Voldemort visited Grindelwald in prison to ask where the elder wand was. Also Negini is voldemorts snake in the movies
What he said!
*Nagini
They totally missed that one!
So glad someone pointed these facts out to them before I tried doing it 😂
I'm so disappointed they didn't remember nagini.
As mixed as my feelings are about these films, one thing I’ll say for them is Newt is an intriguing shift in protagonist. Harry was brash, bold and quick to act whereas Newt is more thoughtful and restrained. An interesting change of pace.
I also like that Harry didn’t want to be involved in this war though it had everything to do with him while Newt chose to be in it even though it had nothing to do with him.
harry's a kid too newt is an adult it would be different
he's also very different from your typical male main character in a hollywood movie
@@laraaraeken Yes cause he is an introverted, they usually choose the extroverted to be the protagonists.
@@taimurmuggo1634 that’s one of hufflepuff’s traits… we fight or get involved because that’s the right thing to do, Newt got involved because of justice, he knew it was the right thing rather than “wanting to be involved”
A couple of connections between this and harry potter that i didn't see mentioned below:
1. When Nicholas Flemmel opens the cabinet the sorcerors stone was in it
2. The mirror that Dumbledore looked in is the same mirror Harry saw his parents in
3. The snake Nagini is Voldemorts snake
4. Leta lastrange is an in law to bellatrix, LaStrange is Bellatrix's married name. Bellatrix and narcissa (draco's mom) are sisters and they are Black's cousins to sirius black
5. You saw grindelwald in the mirror. Grindelwald is the same person that stole the elder wand. Him and Dumbledore had a blood pack in the past.
You learn SO SO much more about Grindelwald and Dumbledores in the Deathly Hollows book.
There is more but these are the big ones.
People follow Voldemort because they fear him, but people follow Grindelwald because they trust him. That's what i like about Grindelwald.
Exactly...that's what makes him so unique...he convinced them...And he was powerful too... Johnny did justice to this character... didn't like the mads Mikkelsen's approach though
@@ajaydasme6613 I didn't like either, I was always confusing him with tha minister guy who is really similar, not even noticed he had the blue eye in the beggining, he was a weak character.....
And you can trust the wrong person. For me Voldermort and Grindelwald are the same, The Agenda is the same, one do it straight forward and the other do it behind a smoke curtain. I personally would not trust a person that have so much prejudices and supremecy thinking as Grindelwald have.
That’s why Grindelwald > Voldi
@@erikalulea3608 Yes, exactly, but not everybody can see his real motive. I think he's very realistic (and maybe even more dangerous than Voldemort).
The Appleton Oak has the greatest character arc in reaction channel history. Went from dismissing the Potter series as a kids movie and watching the film just for the sake of it to going through the books, buying merch and installing them at his desk till Badd Medicine exists and being a super hardcore fan.
Splendid!!! ❤️
Full Potter head
My cat is named Albus Dumbledore
this literally has nothing to do with this comment in any way shape or form. why did you comment here? @@weaponizedglitter69
@gpk131 you are on the naughty list!!!! He's a HP character. Besides I live in Switzerland, it's a free country, I can say whatever I like. Enjoy your coal
? You must be over 40. The original comment is about Oak becoming a potter fan, and you commented under it about your cat. What in the world does your cat being named Albus Dumbledore have to do with Oak becoming a massive potter fan? Why would you leave that unrelated comment in a REPLY to someone else talking about something else? Are you okay? @@weaponizedglitter69
I love these non HP movies because we get to see the more serious side of the adult magical world. They are able to show bigger cooler magic as well as more dramatic acting and story plots. And I am sure that others will say this but Nagini, Credence's circus friend is the same snake Voldemort makes his horcrux.
I really love how far Oak has come into fandom for the sci-fi/fantasy movies he’s missed out on with the Potter franchise, LOTR franchise, and the Hunger Games. You guys have some of the best and most thoughtful genuine reactions!
It’s crazy to think how much I had missed out on! -Oak
@@davidbaye3758 What great for you is that you don't have to wait for these movies to come out like the rest of us did! You're really going to enjoy yourself watching these movies!
I’m a flight attendant and right after they have finished filming the 3rd movie Jude Law was my passenger and as a potter head I didn’t know how to react when I recognized his eyes as I’m sure even though he’s with mask I know Dumbledore. But i’m a fan of his in general. I cried a little in the toilet in amazement but wanna respect his privacy with his family. At the end of the flight couldn’t help but talk to him and tell him im a fan and even was excited for the 3rd one. All he said was Oh you will love it! It will be amazing 🥲 He’s such a down to earth person and even told me if I wanna have photos but unfortunately my phone was in my bag far from me was already about to leave. But it will be forever in my core memory 🥰 So as I was so excited for the movie to come out that time, I’m also excited for you guys to see the 3rd one ❤️
Amazing story! :o
The Malidictus...woman/snake... Nagini... you already know her. She is the same snake that becomes Voldemort's, but by then, the transformation is permanent.
Also... this series does not end with the next movie, it is supposed to be 5 movies, climaxing with the final duel between Dumbledore and Grindlewald in 1945.
And speaking of them... (you learn this in the books) they meet as young men and become inseparable until the death of Arianna, Dumbledore's little sister.. Not explicitly said in the books, but definitely hinted, is that they were lovers. This was confirmed by J.K.R. later. The scene where Dumbledore is looking in the Mirror of Erised, you are seeing a young Dumbledore and Grindlewald together.
but you to kill a to make a horcrux, so Voldermort killed Nagini true self and purely become a beast?
Will they make the last 2 considering it's doing horribly at the box office
oh are they making two more? I mean the third one didn't really feel like an end
@@IamNinjaOfNinja he killed Bertha Jorkins to make Nagini a horcrux back in 1994 and used her as a pawn to gain valuable information for the Triwizard Tournament that he then used to try and kill Harry as we all saw/read in Goblet of Fire. When he had no more use for her, he killed her and viola, Nagini became a horcrux.
@@IamNinjaOfNinja no…
I'm not sure if you guys have watched the 3rd movie yet or not, but hoping I can give you a heads up before you go into it, that they recast Grindlewald from Johnny Depp to Mads Mikkelsen. I know this will be probably fairly controversial for you guys, but... I personally think he does a freakin' fantastic job.
Agreed, I thought he was excellent!
I love Johnny Depp but Mads was just so much better suited for this role.
Because of the allegations against him by Amber Heard, when everyone turned against him. Nothing to do with his performance or anything. Just felt that had to be stated
@@bryanxjames1215 No, it really didn't.
@@Roguefem76 ok bud
I think you guys missed them saying it, but the girl/snake, that's Nagini, Voldemort's snake/horcrux. Also, the brother in the mirror was Alberforth, Creedence is Aurelius.
I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. I love these series, but I get the people that don't. I just love how free they can be with magic and creatures. Next one is one of my favorites. For me it's 1>3>2.
I think we did miss it lol
Oak will get to it in the books, Voldemort only made hocruxes from significant & historical magical items. Makes u wonder why he picked Nagini
@@tittrev Maybe because Nagini nourished him and helped him survive in between book 2 and 4? Maybe because he thought Nagini would be a safer horcrux to make because she can defend herself.
@@laurieallen436 perhaps… but it leaves a bit of a gap… Nagini was originally human who ended up permanently transfigured into snake form. She also was in love with a relative of Dumbledore. Seems a bit too close to home
@@tittrev yeah, that's what happens when stories are retconned poorly. And then she disappeared in the third movie. So until jkr does something with her again, it's just convenient coincidence
The secrets of Dumbledore is not supposed to be last Fantastic Beasts film. They’ve got two more to do. A lot of us still hope they will ♥️
I just hope they bring johnny baaack, the "new" Grindelwald was so weak....
@@Starfish0. That would be very odd, though. To have him come back after someone else played him. Unfortunately they might end now. They made their bed.
@@moonlitskylight5740 I know but it would be better to have him back, the fans would support him and it would be good for the movies. He played 2 films the other guy only one (the worst in tickets btw). So yeah they payed for their mistake.
I think Mads was a better Grindelwald and I hope to see him again in the next two movies ❤️
@@ninaclausen5467 Yes. Finally somebody else agrees. Mads was better
idk about you guys but Leta saying "You never met a monster you coundn't love" to Newt was heartbreaking for me, not only it shows she could never forgive herself for what she did but also shows she knows newt actually loves her..... And when she said "i love you" and they didn't clarified who she was talking to, I think it was kinda with both of them.... she probably didn't chose Nwet cause she thought he deserved someone better...
Tena?
That was Leta, not Tina
@@vijayanand6650 just saw it thanks
Aurelius is not Aberforth. It's a different Dumbledore. Don't worry, everything will be explained in the next movie.
I do appreciate how disdain and disinterest in the abilities and importance of animals is often the downfall of villains in the Potter universe. It's also why Newt so often succeeds against skilled Dark wizards, who overlook the intelligence and skills of creatures.
Great reaction guys 👍🏻 The Young man in the mirror was the young Grindelwald. He is played by Jamie Campbell Bower, and has already appeared in the Harry Potter movies. He and Dumbledore used to be in love
JCB aka latest Stranger Things sensation
I got the notification and literally dropped what I was doing to watch this!!!! - I love you guys reactions, I found u guys at the start of the hunger games and have binge watched your videos since then
haha awesome! We love it and thank you for the support here!
I was so sad to see Queenie get seduced; you would think she would be the last.
And that line of Leta's: "Newt, you never met a monster you couldn't love". Almost sure she was referring to herself. Except she really wasn't a monster.
Queenie is very innocent, she thought Grindelwald would do something for her to get married with a muggle, he used her and she could not even imagine that Grindelwald hates muggles and want them stop existing. But she can read minds, i dont know if she knows and ignored it, or he did something that she can not read his mind, maybe a spell.
@@cadelinha I think there was something in her tea.
Oh, you silly boys. "Closer than brothers" - Dumbledore and Grindelwald were in love.
I've seen this before but only JUST realized while watching this that Owls were being used in the Ministry. It's a great spot of continuity since Arthur mentions in the 5th movie on the way to Harry's trial that they used to use owls but switched to paper planes!!
EDIT: Upon further consideration. They included they magical "Rumba" because like of the Owl droppings. Arthur said they switched because of the mess.
Good catch I hadn't noticed that lol
Yes I liked that. :)
5:56 I think the way this introductory conversation is shot is really fantastic, it makes a point of showing how Newt actually looks at Leta's face - he very rarely makes eye contact with people.
There are 5 fantastic beasts movies planned so the next one is not the finale...
Jude Law is such a great casting choice ♥️
After such flop... It IS the finale.
@@JuanJose-vb8dy It wasn't a "flop." The 3rd Fantastic Beasts movie doubled it's budget. Sure, it's the least successful film in the series (and probably the worst) but they're doing all five films.
@@Shadowman4710 actually WB has said that it has no plans to continue the series at this point. I think the controversy with JK, Depp and Ezra, and drop in profit and poor reviews after last one, we are done. 😭
I really love Grindelwald he's such a great villain . I feel like people misunderstand that character saying that he's not as frightening as voldemort which makes sense to think that bcuz voldemort was feared by everyone . But Grindelwald is just as frightening bcuz of the way he manipulates people to follow him and how good he seems to them although it's all just to get more powerful and to conquer the magic and non-magic world
EXACTLY. But sadly we see this in Europe now , how we go straight in the arms of people like Grindelwald because we fall for the retoric.
@@erikalulea3608 Well, we saw that with Trump too. His followers almost made a coup.
Have you ever considered watching a Jane Austen movie? I think you'd enjoy it a lot more than you might expect. Austen has a wonderful grasp of characters that shines through all the 19th century etiquette and mannerisms. I think you'd really enjoy the 1995 _Sense and Sensibility,_ not least because it has Alan Rickman playing a genuinely good guy for a change, and many other cast members you'll recognize from the HP movies, including star and adaptation writer Emma "Trelawny" Thompson!
That would be interesting to see. Great actors- and of course Alan Rickman. A very different Alan Rickman, not just playing the good guy, but also in 18th century wardrobe and language.
Maybe another journey from : „I don’t think those are for me“ to „ I love those movies!“
Second this, together with Pride and Prejudice 2005, 1995 Persuasion, 2020 Emma even 2007 Northanger Abbey.
It's so funny to see young Dumbledore being stylish and then in the Potter ones he being an old classic wizard 🧙♂️🪄
yes, well, after living through a few world wars...
Yeah you can't deny...
Dumbledore's got style!
I wonder whether, after Grindlewald, after everywhere he perceived his ego had lead, Dumbledore decided staying at Hogwarts, being "a regular old wizard" as much as possible was the best choice to make.
Free to express who he truly is💗
There are 2 notable inconsistencies in this film. McGonagall didn't start teaching at Hogwarts until nearly 50 years later and Dumbledore taught Transfiguration, not Defense Against the Dark Arts. And it wasn't Creedence he saw in the Mirror, it was a young Grindelwald. The two of them were romantically involved when they were teenagers.
Yes, Minerva McGonagall shouldn't even be born yet. JKR's timelines never match up correctly. I guess math isn't her thing.
We need to make them aware of the Mcgonagall inconsistency, as it is a major point of critisism for this film.
We only know that Dumbledore taught Transfiguration before becoming Headmaster which happens way later. We also know he was Outstanding in all chosen classes and that he doesn't like Divination. Aside from History of Hogwarts (because of Prof. Binns) he could and probably would (if that subject is free) have taught every subject.
@@Ri_Shin_Marco You could be right - with the exception of History of Hogwarts. That was History of Magic.
and nobody cares, since the majority doesn't even know this. Of course it's always the hard core fans who whine the loudest and be vocal about those InCoNsIsTeNcIeS. Those were fanservice scenes, nothing more and people enjoyed them for what they are.
17:51 SHE HAS EYES JUST LIKE A SALAMANDER
no because literally i got teary in the cinema watching this the first time because everyone laughed but i totally get that for newt, he was in full romantic mode - HE KNOWS WHAT HER EYES LOOK LIKE AND HE LOVES IT. he doesn't even MAKE eye contact with people, so to be thinking about tina's eyes?????? ROMANCE.
Johnny depp as grindelwald was just perfect. that speech of his when he entering into the stage it was goosebumps. i really liked Johnny as the villian it was perfect Aura and perfectly intimidating personality.
Finally the reaction I have been waiting for.
Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwad were lovers. Dumbledore is gay, he was in love with Grindelwald.
That's why the made a bloodpact/oath so that they can't fight each other.
The ones you see on the Mirror of Erised were young Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
The Mirror of Erised is spelled Desire when it reads backward.
That mirror shows you your deepest desire. And Albus' deepest desire was to be one with Grindelwald. That's why they're exchanging blood.
Their photograph was in the book Hermione read in the dean forest during winter when she and Harry camped.
The book called The Life and The Lies of Albus Dumbledore by Rita Skeeter.
I hope you guys read this..Since you guys liked movies that had deep meanings/life lessons especially Oak, I really recommend you guys to watch The Haunting of Hill House. It’s a horror series (10 eps) but trust me you wont regret it. It’s so much more than just scary ghost or jump scare, its a beautiful horror story :’)
YES PLEASE
I really really hope they'll react to that series. that series is Masterpiece... love it
Yess please, it is amazing
As well as Midnight Mass, which was even better. Though both are incredible.
@@lifathross yess, i want them to react to all mike flanagan's masterpiece
It's always a joy to see you guys back to the potterverse! I love It!
No, Dumbledore was never a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. They made it up for the movie, even JK Rowling stated he did not teach this subject before.
Also, Mcgonagall wasn't even born for another 8 years when this movie took place. They only added her so that people would go "Ohh, Mcgonagall, I know her from that other thing!!"
They really did injustice to Johnny Depp by removing him from the third movie. Judging him even before the trial.... he was such a good Grindelwald.
I agree!! I didn’t like the new grindewald
Mads is a fantastic actor and could’ve been good if he Grindelwald from the start. But he wasn’t. Continuity is key in films with actors and axeing depp was so disappointing:(
If you guys didn't catch it, the girl that changed to a snake is named Nagini, its the same snake that Voldemort had
The worst thing about this movie is that it is so confusing because the script is written like a book and not a movie and that fault lies entirely to JK Rowling and that's a common critique you will see in the next movie as well...when you read the script of the movie it translates much better because there are so many minute details and scenarios that are only exclusive to how a book would be written and its very difficult to translate that to a visual medium and nobody even explains it to you in the movies what those details are so you leave confused as to what's going on, that's why these movies have been having so many problems because while the script is confusing to adapt
A lot of people hated on this movie in particular, but it’s actually my favorite of the FB series so far. I love the tie in of WWII with Grindelwald gaining followers and being the wizarding world’s version of Hitler as the real one rises to infamy. Compelling speeches that ease the listeners into a distaste for muggles, then a disdain, followed by the discrimination of muggles, that could likely lead to a holocaust of muggles. The implications are there in this film without it being over the top obvious.
Fun Fact: Nagini (the maladictus snake girl) will eventually become a snake permanently. That is the nature of what she is. And guess who ends up with a pet snake named Nagini…!!!
Also, to answer the question at the end: I think it’s harder to do a good sequel series than a good prequel. A sequel has to follow something great and keep the audience engaged. A prequel simply has to establish the lore that’s already there and already has the fanbase built in (usually by them having requested it).
Great stuff here as usual. And I agree with the prequel vs sequel.
The creatures of the magical world are based on different mythologies even though J.K.Rowling created many of her own.
Most of them are form different countries’ mythologies.
Centaurs, Phoenix, mermaids, basilisk, Pegasus, Cerberus (the three-headed-dog), hippogriffs, chimaera… etc are from Hellas🇬🇷
Creatures like: vampires, trolls, fairies, goblins, kelpies, grindylow, imps, gnomes, unicorns… etc are from the Celtic-British mythology
Other creatures like kappa are from Japan.
The kelpies are shape-shifting spirits of Scottish folklore🏴
They are spirits that they live in the Scottish Lochs (lakes) and the appear as black horses.
In Scotland, at the city of Falkirk there a huge statue of two Kelpies!
We can't forget the qilin/kirin and zouwu from China too !
I’m so pumped for all these future journies! I found y’all through Harry Potter and now you guys just keep pumping out these AWESOME reactions. Hunger games, Harry Potter, pirates of Caribbean coming up next!! This is nuts! Y’all should check out the maze runner saga and for tv series, check out the witcher! They’ll suit all your fantasy intrigue!!
I'm just super excited for your reaction as to WHY Albus really can't move against Grindelwald. I mean, I couldn't tell if you guys picked up on it aside from the pact but oh man. That last movie and the scene that explains the necklace... chef's kiss right there. I eagerly await the next vid because that last movie had me shook in places.
I’m so glad y’all are expanding and watching these movies. I’m beyond entertained each time ❤️
Much appreciated and thanks for watching 😁🤙
I don't think you noticed that the snake turning girl suffering from maladictus is called Nagini. Vauldemort's snake is called Nagini. It's the same snake. 🐍
I think we all completely missed it! -Oak
I’m excited when u watch the 3rd one! Secrets of Dumbledore!
Possible to see your reaction to “Hogwarts Legacy” gameplay / trailer?
I swear man, I started watching you guys when you started the harry potter series and its developing into a sort of addiction, im always checking if you guys have uploaded a new video and im so excited to watch this one. I don't know what it is but u guys and ur different personalities make these videos so much fun! Keep up the great work!
You guys need to watch a very potter musical by starkid! Its on youtube and is like a parody if sorts. But it's amazing. There are 3 - AVMP, A very potter sequel and a very potter senior year. They are brilliant and would be a perfect way to add to your Harry potter reactions!!!
For Nagini is Voldemort's snake, the last horcrux in the Harry Potter movies, but we still don't know how exactly she became involved with Voldermort
I could never get into this movie. I thought personally the plot was really messy and this movie didn't know what it wanted. It was also incredibly underwhelming for having Johnny Depp and Jude Law in it. The beasts were definitely my favorite part but even that couldn't get me to like it. You guys are the few who actually enjoyed it I guess. I just expected a lot more from a movie from the Harry Potterverse.
Apperently The idea of Harry potter world came to J.K On A Train & Thats how they Travel to Hogwarts i Never knew that until seeing comments, thas why i love watchin reactions always new stuff
The Snake lady is Nagini from Harry Potter
When I watched it I loved it and still do, but I was so surprised to hear all the negative critics. I personally really like it.
same
For me I found the writing weak. It made no sense to me that Queenie switches sides or at least it wasn't developed enough. The plot was rushed and the characters choices were so out of character for me. This was where I could see that JK is a book writer and not a screenplay writer. Idk. I just found it extremely disappointing but I'll try again soon. Maybe I'll change my mind. My husband loves it and thinks I'm crazy haha. I loved the first FB. 😍
I was just about to have dinner! Perfect thing to watch while eating 🥰🥰 Thank you for always giving high quality content, guys !!
Thanks guys, this is the only reason for me to watch post-Fantasic-Beasts movies 😁🍿
😂🤘🤙
The maledictus girl is Nagini...AKA lord Voldemort's pet👌🏼😂❤️
Guys, the guys in the mirror were young Grindelwald and young Dumbledore
Some names you heard in this movie might be familiar:
Nagini: she will become Voldemort's pet snake
Travers: he is an Auror, but his son (or grandson) will be part of Voldemort's Inner Circle
Rosier: her relative, Evan Rosier, will also become part of Voldemort's Death Eaters!
What I love about this movies is that we have the chance to see not kids and students, but full-grown people, graduated (or expelled) from school, with all the spells they know. But still, I like the HP saga better
From my understanding, this second movie is the weakest of the three made so far. All in all, as all over the place that the story is, it's still a decent movie. The next movie is my favorite as they re-cast Grindelwald to Mads Mikkelsen who I think does a much better job. I've read there is meant to be 5 movies in this series; fingers crossed that works out so we can see more great reactions from you guys!
The weakest is really the last one.
I echo what you said: 1 is just a little better than 2, but I still love this movie so much.
Perfect casting for young Dumbledore in Jude Law and love that we went back to Hogwarts a little bit.
Eddie just plays Newt perfectly and just represents the Hufflepuff house so well.
Also I'm so glad they keep introducing new magical beasts, after all this is a Fantastic Beasts movie.
PS: Sequels are differently harder to make. There are a bunch of prequels that did pretty well.
I love this movie for Johnny Depp's magnetic performance alone. Everything he does is fascinating to me in here.
..there are a few weird things though, like the fact that McGonagal wasn't yet born when this movie takes place. Disappointing if things like that are really just due to laziness
I think if you’ve only watched the HP movies you can enjoy these for what they are, and they’re not bad movies at all, the expansion of the magical world is great. But the reason book readers dislike them is because they break a lot of established rules and lore from the original series. The ages of characters don’t match, Dumbledore taught transfiguration not defense against the dark arts, Jacob remembering contradicts what we know about the obliviate spell, etc, etc. If you don’t focus much on that, they’re fun movies to watch! Great reaction as always!!
Watched the last reaction a couple of minutes ago and now I´m even more exited to watch the second one. Love the movie and now I will see wether you like it too
So happy to see you're excited. I won't say how it went for us 😀
So, a few things:
1. Dumbledore never taught defense against the dark arts. He taught transfiguration before McGonagall.
2. McGonagall is technically not even born in this movie. Shes just cheap fan-service, nothing more.
3. The Bloodpact makes no sense based on the original timeline and is just a cheap plot-device.
oh once more, when Dumbledore and Grindelwald said they're more than friend.. actually they're "more".. It's a tragic-but-not-so-tragic Dumbledore's one sided love
Did y’all recognize young Grindelwald is Vecna/Henry Creel/001? He was also in Deathly Hallows 1-it was the first thing I ever saw him in :)
Totally missed it
Jamie Campbell Bower is literally in every movie universe. Seriously, he's young Grindelwald, he's on Twilight, he's on Stranger Things, and he's on Sweeney Todd (which is quite funny since Johnny Depp is also in there)
Something that people complain about the next one is that Grindelwald was replaced. Johnny Depp lost the role because of his ex wife accusations. Do watch the next one with an open heart without thinking about Depp too much and you might also enjoy it!
In case you didn't noticed. Grindelwald has elder wand. He has one of deathly hallows. Dumbledore has clock stone was on tom riddles mother's ring jewel.
Nagini girl is one of hocrux of voldemort. His pet.
Dumbledore doesn't acquire the Resurrection Stone until 1996.
Dumbledore: We were closer than brothers..
You guys: Ooooh...they were blood brothers!
me: N-no...that's not- huh??
I think you missed one thing..
Nagini, the Maledictus, a cursed snake is a slave of Voldemort..
I think you guys don't realize it.. 😅
GUYS! You missed the true identity of snake girl. Her name is . . . Nagini as in Voldemort's Nagini.
The young man in the mirror is Grindelwald. In HP Deathly Hallows Grindelwald is the young boy who steals the Elder wand. Which is in his hand at the opening of this movie. I am surprised you didn't recognise it. I did at once.
Aurelius Dumbledore never was in an original story in books. Dumbledore has only a sister and brother in the Harry Potter, Aurelius character was invented for those movies.
The snake is literally Nagini, Voldermort' nagini..
Aurelius was never ever mentioned anywhere before this movie, so you haven't seen anything about him before. Still pretty confused about how on earth it fits into the canon tbh so guess we just have to accept it isn't logical
Sorry, rewatching this and noticed something that made me laugh. My grandma dances a little "jig" as she calls it that looks exactly like Nicholas Flamel's run! that's so hilarious. She's 92. 🤣
Ok let's go. This should be interesting. Also not sure if you've been told but this is supposed to be 5 movies. We'll see what happens
I hope the 2 movies is when Dumbledore meet Voldemort as a kid for the 4th and the 5th will be how the order of phoenix formed and fought him. So maybe for another 5 years. So the original trio will be age appropriate for the cursed child.
@@bardart703 The Fantastic Beasts movies were supposed to end on movie 5 with the big battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, so your theory is unlikely, unless they fully switch that up.
@@bardart703 I can almost guarantee that won't happen. We're building up to the battle of Dumbledore and Grindlewald. That's if we get the final 2 movies
@@Heather61776 um I think they capped it off on the last right? And I read before that it wouldve span for 5 decades? 5 decades means wew will see the scene where dumbledore met the young voldemort and ending in late 70s -80s where harry was born or a baby.I dunno I think the last one ended the grindelwald saga.
@@rhilou32 i hope they do cuz nobody cares about it anymore and Im ok with another chapter like order of the phoenix fought voldemort so it ties it to harry potter beggining.
just simple fact (and i think) you guys missed it, Nagini is Voldemort's snake!! the one that Longbottom killed
Some information ;) :
- There are 5 movies planned ;) Only 3 came out already.
- Aurelius is a completely new character, not the one you saw in the mirror in Deathly Hallows, that one is Alberforth (not sure of the spelling)
- Personally I really love these movies too! And I love all the cute beasts and Newt and the Potter universe expanding. I think what I don't like are inconsistencies with the Potter knowledge. For example, McGonagall wasn't even supposed to be there at this time. Because of the dates or something, she would have been not born yet or very young, I forgot.
- P.S. Maybe you've already watched it, but warning for the next movie. I cried a lot and when you'll see it you'll know why. 😢
It's not Aberforth in the mirror. It's a young Grindelwald, who was the gay lover of young Dumbledore.
@@Keyboardje I think you are answering the wrong comment I didn't mention Alberforth in my comment
Slightly disappointed that The Oak didn’t recognize Nagini as Voldemort’s snake. Great reaction as always though!
Part of the reason Potterheads dont like these is because of JK retconning for "fan service". She actually removed McGonagall's birthday from Pottermore because in the regular series, she hadn't been BORN yet when Dumbledore was fighting Grindlewald, let alone teaching! A lot of things don't line up, like that (several of the Fantastic beasts we meet in these movies aren't even in the book Newt writes (and Hogwarts has as a text book - which is published for us Muggles, btw)"Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them", even though the point of Newt's journey is to gather info for said book.
It just isn't as well thought out as the HP series.
I felt Oak's pain when they revealed what the white cloth was. That tore me up inside as well being a parent.
I agree with your assessment that there were fans who didn't like these movies because they weren't from the original Canon of books.. It's almost as if they felt it was sacrilegious. . But JK Rowling didn't seem to feel that way
I looked at this series of three films as a separate entity and I judge them on their own merit. I certainly enjoyed the trilogy. it was well done I loved that it led to a tie back to Harry and Ron and Hermione in the library trying to find a book on Nikolas Famel and the very brief mention they made of Grindelwald as being a wizard who went bad.
I enjoy watching your reactions and look forward to seeing what's next!
Yeah, you won't see Johnny Depp much in this series because Amber Heard's lies basically destroyed his career at this point.
I really hope that WB kick her out of Aquaman
I do like more Harry Potter content (And I really love Newt’s character!), but these Fantastic Beasts movies have to be taken with a grain of salt
They stray far from what we know in the books, for example, in Book 5 Umbridge asks Professor McGonagall how long she has been teaching, and she says 39 years. Which means she started teaching in 1956, which is years after the events of these movies.
And Dumbledore is known to have taught Transfiguration, not DADA
A lot of these movies is just fan service
I couldn’t quite put my finger on why I didn’t like this movie. Until I watched some reviews that pointed out having a novelist write the screenplay was their biggest mistake. Even if you are a brilliant writer, pacing between book and film are entirely different. And why books need to be changed and adapted for screen. I had some other issues apart from this but that explained a lot of them.
I still enjoy watching the reactions though, even if I don’t entirely like the movie.
I love that they touch on the ministry trying so hard to control the people and it's making it worse. Gives background on why Dumbledore/minsitry butt heads. They just went in and punked Dumbledore in his class. At the end they had to go back with their tails between their legs because they messed up.
Also funny note that the Auror who killed the woman at the end, ended up joining Grindelwald 😂
I just unfortunately find this movie so hard to follow. Seems so disjointed and failed to keep my attention. Biggest let down in the franchise for me. I don’t even want to see the newest one.
the girl is voldermorts snake
At the end of the last movie, right before Grindelwald (as Mr Graves) revealed his true nature. We saw a slight tiny piece of the Obscurus fly away. It was a remnant of Credence, which is how he survived.
Also immortality without suspended aging or Eternal youth is a terrifying thing.
Check out "the theory of everything" if you like Eddie Redmayne. An incredible acting performance as he portraits Stephen Hawking.
This movie pissed me off quite a bit when I first watched it. Over all, I think it's... ehh, alright as entertainment, but I really hope it''ll all eventually come together and get tied into an actual story.
We learn about the Lestrange/Kama family, and Leta's brother. We think it might be Credence. Apparently not. That lead to nowhere.
Queenie goes from slightly quirky to bat shit crazy in no time flat. I honestly don't really understand her actions or behavior in this movie. If anyone is under the effects of a spell or potion, it should be her, not Jacob.
Credence being a Dumbledore... that was the biggest 'sorry, what?' of all. In the HP books we learn a whole lot about the Dumbledore family, and we know Albus only had one brother, and one sister: Aberforth and Arianna. If he'd had another brother, who had been lost to his family for many many years, I'm pretty sure it would've been knowledge to us through Rita Skeeter's book 'The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore'. It explained everything else, and this would've definitely been hot gossip.
I simply couldn't nor wanted to believe even a single word of it. So then... I wondered if Grindelwald was lying, that he said it so that Credence would come to hate Dumbledore, and would go after him to kill him, but he's ultimately not a Dumbledore... Possible, but that would've been horrible from a viewer's standpoint, because the cliffhanger was a falsety.
Then there's the timeline error of Professor McGonagall being a teacher at Hogwarts YEARS before she was even born. How'd she manage that one? Will we ever get an answer to it? I don't know. I want one though, because that's a decent oversight right there. I suppose it shouldn't matter too much, but it does. Not just to me, but quite a few Potterheads out there.
Characters who saved this movie: Jacob, Newt, Tina, Pickett, cute little Nifflers.
And of course, Johnny was quite decent as Grindelwald, pretty sure he can make me sympathize with their cause.
Sadly, he won't be in the third movie, because of a lot of trouble, allegations, lawsuits (which he won yay!), etc. His role will be taken by someone else. He also does a good job, and I'll accept him as Grindelwald as well, but he's no Johnny.
Anyways, looking forward to your reaction to the 3rd movie!
And also, Dumbledore teached Transfiguration, not DADA !!!
Dumbledore actually taught transfiguration, not defence against the dark arts. They changed it for the movie because... no reason actually. I have no idea why they did it.
I think they did it to make his relation with the "dark wizard" more dramatic, as if he was interested in dark things almost like Snape.
I don't know if you guys take recommendations, but if you do, you should watch pottah parodies by chanwills0. They are sooo funny.
The Beast made from Seaweed is called a Kelpie The Loch Ness Monster in Scotland is said to be one of these
I was pretty "ayo, what the f---?!" about the Aurelius Dumbledore thingy but when I saw the 3rd movie, I was like "damn..."
I gotta say tho, get ready for the new Grindelwald in the 3rd film. Mads is amazing!
Once you watch the secrets of dumbledore you to watch the prequel by(broad strokes)
I know not a lot of people like this one but I really enjoy it.
It was still a solid film.
@@BaddMedicine Definitely! Can’t wait to see you react to the third one as it’s my favourite Fantastic Beasts movie
I Love this series alot. idk why so many hp fans dont like the fantastic beasts movies i think they are amazing. These fist two are very goood movies. this next movie is not though. it is bad, like ruin the series bad. i hope they do onw more and finish the story well but this next movie was terribly done.
Idk. I think I'd take "salamander eyes" as a compliment. If it came from someone like Newt, someone who loves all animals and stranger creatures so much.🤷
