Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (film)

What's your take on this failed spin off?

Personally I think the first movie was on the right track. Newt was an extremely likeable and perhaps relatable hero for many HP fans, and mix in what was essentailly HP Pokemon/interesting beasts and it's hard not to enjoy the movie.

Sadly by the second movie Newt was barely a sub plot, and the 3rd movie had to really force the beasts in to even include Newt at all.

The new focus on Dumbledore and Grindelwald and the heavy political focus didn't capture the hearts of viewers that had invested in the awkward hero and his adorable Niffler sidekick.

Hey so I'm currently back at my Harry Potter hyperfixation, and refreshed myself with Fantastic Beasts film series. Then I wondered, is there a possibility that it's not actually a trilogy? That we may get a sequel? Then I checked on article here and read that "it's unlikely" and "series was shelved". So, does it mean there will be no 4 and 5 movie for sure? Or maybe there is possibility?

I personally love them. They are one of my favorite franchises along with Harry Potter. I especially love the scene in the first movie when newt found teddy in the jewelry store and just gives him this look like, “really”.

Since Fantastic Beasts series has been confirmed officially cancelled, I've been think if we can do our fanfiction to finish the rest of the series, including the 1945 battle of Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

FYI, Warner Bros shall be punished! 😡

Fantastic Beasts should have been a great success, but I think it failed to learn the lesson that the Harry Potter series should have taught Warner Bros. about JKRs stories

The stories behind JKRs characters are very complex and detailed, with story arcs that stretch across much more than you'll ever cover in a movie. The full story needed to be written down, or at least broken down into book size chunks and THEN edited down to movie length.

By having JKR as the only person who knew the full story, the movie makers had to trust she was making the best edited version of her story- which I don't think she did effectively. JK held on to too many story elements and scenes that should never have made it to the big screen.

The Audiobook to Movie length comparison shows us that you need about 12 Hours of reading to make a good 2.5 hour film adaption, and then you also need a great film editor to work out how that story is best interpreted for film.

Starting my hp marathon but i decided to do the fantastic beasts movies since i havent seen them yet

Im starting Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them right now! I have extra-buttery popcorn, chocolate chex, dutch butter cookies and strawberry milk :)

Current time: 9:42 A.M.

Will add more check ins as time progresses :)

It’s confirmed… Any ideas what the plots will be?

Personally idc about what's going on with Dumbledore and grindelwald and their drama. i just wanted FB to be a series with NEWT as a protagonist and only his story along with his friends and creatures( especially his creatures and tina).

I didn't liked SOD at all because they were totally out of what i expected and wanted. COG was okay but WTFT was still the best. They shouldn't have cancelled the 4th movies. instead should have made it newt's story without dumbledore/ grindelwald crap. and lacking of tina (one of the lead protagonist) was really disappointing.

P.S this fan made photo looks funny!

Did Credence ever find out that Graves was actually Grindelwald?

These are some headcanons I have about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in no particular order:

• Mary Lou knew that Credence was magic, but only because she thought his mother was Irma Dugard - a half-elf, half-witch would certainly be "wicked" and "unnatural" in her book.

• Leta used to hold her breath under water for as long as she could.

• The only people Credence ever truly cared for were Modesty, Nagini, and Aberforth.

• In present-day, Credence isn't very well-known, because most people don't know that Credence Barebone and Aurelius Dumbledore are one and the same.

• Credence, due to being the one to most often care for Modesty, is surprisingly good with children.

• Credence's aunt on the ship who drowned trying to save Corvus was actually his mother; she only said she was his aunt because she wasn't about to announce that she was the unwed mother of the child she had with her.

• Chastity was a Squib whose magical parents abandoned her in a No-Maj orphanage after they realized she didn’t have magic, only for her to be adopted shortly afterwards by Mary Lou Barebone.

• Aberforth holds a grudge against Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and against the entire Magical Congress of the United States, because Ilvermorny never detected Credence, and because of how badly MACUSA handled Credence’s case, even in present-day, nearly a hundred years later.

• Leta's father purposely sent his son to Mary Lou, figuring that Yusuf Kama would never suspect that young Corvus was in the care of a magic-hater, and that he would come retrieve him once it was save. Only, when he came to get his son back, Credence was there instead.
