Behind the Scenes of Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore

[@Elnont]

Jude and Mads were easily the highlight of this film.

[@rafaelyaguaro2842]

Totally! Their chemistry is on point! Every scene they had together, you believe they were a couple and that those feeling haven’t left either of them! I liked Deeps acting on Crimes, hated they look they choose for him, but in a way I’m glad we got Mads on Secret, and hopefully on the last two as well, his Gellert is much more believable and next to Jude, is just perfect casting

[@raininseptember]

100%

[@wesleylopez6157]

👍👍

[@custodiojamal5150]

Mads was amazing as Grindelwald which he gives the perfect charisma, cunning, genius, manipulative, power and intimidating aura as powerful dark wizard, He gave the opening restaurant scene with strong sexual tension just with his facial expressions it was crazy, I'm definitely looking forward for the 4th movie someday especially their final duel in 1945

[@lisawinter7842]

Yeah i really hope they keep Mads 🥰

[@sazfretz1945]

I loved this movie! Mads' interpretation of Grindelwald was much more nuanced, low-key, and even charmingly menacing than Depp's. "Secrets" had me riveted from the first moment.

[@ComingSoonOnVHS]

Jude Law was definitely the best part of this movie, he's fantastic

That's a director that knows how to make everyone feel like they're part of the process, letting them feel invested in the outcome.

[@Ranger1812]

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is a wonderful addition to the Wizarding World franchise and Fantastic Beasts series. Although the Fantastic Beasts films do have issues, none of them is the story, which has been enthralling from the start. The performances are once again top-notch, with Jude Law delivering his second perfect outing as Albus Dumbledore and Mads Mikkelsen showing what Gellert Grindelwald should be (and I spent three years thinking Johnny Depp was perfect). Depp was brilliant and what happened to him unjustifiable, but Mikkelsen is perfect as Grindelwald and whom David Yates, the director of every Wizarding World film since Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, originally wanted for Grindelwald. He provides the charm and charisma, and cunning, presence, and malice that encapsulates Grindelwald, without the cartooniness of Depp's look and, sometimes, acting. He's a dialled-down Grindelwald in many respects, but to his benefit not detriment - he's grounded in reality, a trait that the Wizarding World has always strived for and encompassed, which makes him so much more visceral, and real, and makes him feel like a huge threat. Seven is the most magically powerful number, and David Yates' seventh Wizarding World film lives up to the standards set by its eight Harry Potter and two Fantastic Beasts forebears, delivering a nuanced, intricate, and powerful story that is also alight with spectacle and photo-realistic CGI, including old and new beasts that aren't token inclusions but fundamental to the story and great to learn about, and gorgeous outdoor environments and indoor sets. Although hardcore fans like myself love the plot and pacing of Secrets of Dumbledore's middlingly received predecessor, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Secrets of Dumbledore shows its creators learnt from their mistakes and listened to the justified criticisms of the previous instalment. Steve Kloves, the screenwriter of every Harry Potter film bar Order of the Phoenix and producer of the Fantastic Beasts films, has aided in writing a wonderful script for Secrets of Dumbledore that is packed with emotion, depth, action, and humour. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore has proven itself worthy of the four year wait. It is a brilliant third chapter in the Fantastic Beasts series and sets up its latter half to have a thrilling journey and conclusion. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is absolutely phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. It has a beautiful story (as did Where to Find Them and Crimes of Grindelwald) and was beautifully shot. The beasts looked photo-realistic and were absolutely amazing to see and learn about, and Mads Mikkelsen is the perfect Grindelwald. I cried so much, and will be seeing it every week until it leaves theatres.

[@sedricalonso7987]

Absolutely i agree, in contrary of the people that thinks the senario was weak, this comment is truly perfect. They just want the every single detail about Dumbledores :D, so pity.

Spoiler Free Review - I have been a long time Harry Potter fan..💯 And as recently I have completed the book series, I fell in love with this to franchise even more, with that being said.. This 3rd installment of the Harry Potter spin off Prequel series Fantastic Beasts The Secrets Of Dumbledore was just a blast.. 💎💎It brought back the magic that made our hearts jump and it has all those nostalgia that true Potterheads recognize.. It's Truely an amazing piece of art and I definitely highly recommend all Potterheads to go to the theater and experience it there! ✅⚡ This movie deserves to hit Every actor did an amazing job and they worked hard for this film! Kindly respect that as well ✨ PS - Make sure to re-watch the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts 1 and 2 and learn the background of Dumbledore's story to understand this movie in a better way! #SecretsOfDumbledore #wizardingworld #wizard #wizardingworldofharrypotter

The director must love theatre, who else noticed there was more of practical effects than CGI/blur&green screen on set. I don’t think I even saw any. Everything, or at least, most of it were built on-set. Amazing! 🤯

[@Pewling]

I dearly hope the last movie will just go full dark mode.. Show the war for the horrible experience it was for the wizarding world. The casualties, the betrayals, the sinister nuances. Depp or Mikkelsen, both did a wonderful job. Depp was very charismatic as the evil, scary wizard, where as Mikkelsen truly showed us how he could charm everyone onto his side. (Can't forget Colin though, we lost him in the series WAY too early.. Fantastic display of wizardry acting!)

[@har5814]

Wow the behind the scenes are fantastic too.

[@francheskajulien8799]

Jude law is an amazing Dumbledore 💜

[@decrox13]

I think the hatred these films receive is absolutely outrageous. It’s beyond uncalled for. To think that other franchises get critical acclaim with none of the artistic quality and superb craftsmanship seen in this series, and on display in this video, is horrible. I’ve seen the most dumb criticisms and insults leveled against these films that are invalidated by this behind the scenes footage alone. It’s beyond offensive. Harry Potter is not something that a lot of fanboys seem to care about, yet it’s this franchise that gets the smearing and the vitriolic hatred? That just goes to show that many have a mean-spirited ulterior motive in their smearing. It’s despicable to see.

[@besknighter]

Actors are also a great part of filmmaking. No matter how good our gear and story is, with subpar actors it will fall flat. I really enjoyed this episode because I could learn a lot about several facets of directing. How to be open to ideas without sacrificing your vision, some practical examples of how to be positive and empathetic when giving feedback, the importance of properly casting, to name a few. And also, just by seeing some of the raw footage and how it ended up looking after, I also could already have some good guesses of how some effects were made to the point that I could go and try reproduce them.

[@GfoxSim]

I can't wait for the day when someone comes up with something new in the movie industry like The Matrix did back then. VFX was new and it blew everyone's minds. Right now VFX is just...I don't know, we've seen too much that it doesn't excite anymore.

Finally someone else said it! I've been saying this for a while. Now don't get wrong, I still love watching movies, but with that being said I 100% get where you are coming from. For me it's more nothing is really original anymore. It's either sequels, remakes, reboots, prequels or based of books or games. It's almost like writers are getting a little lazy.

[@ComingSoonOnVHS]

Multiple ways you can do that last one: stage magicians placed it on a table with a hole cut in the top and usually amir at a 45° angle by the legs so it has a huge storage space underneath even though it looks like it doesn't with movies this is a lot easier to fake with some classic switcheroo's and masking. You can also have an actor pull out effectively a green handle as a placeholder for your weapon then in the next shot have them hold it then just in the actual shot model your weapon and put it in through CG

Whoa we need to worry about more is people refusing to go and see #FantasticBeastsTheSecretsOfDumbledore all because of her comments; I’d highly encourage and recommend everyone [please Encourage as many other people as you can as well please :-) See it as many times as they can in theaters, and even If possible,buy a ticket for it In place of going to see another movie so that way it still gets money without you actually having to see it multiple times. Buying as many merchandise directly related to it as possible will also truly help. Also remember that if you’re refusing to see it because of #JohnnyDeppIsMyGrindelwald Then please remember that this movie needs to do well so as to give Johnny the chance to actually come back in the Later movies, For the actor who played MacNair The executioner was re-casted for prisoner of Azkaban and then came back for order of the Phoenix. The bottom line is that if #FantasticBeastsTheSecretsOfDumbledore Doesn’t do well, And they don’t make the remaining two movies,then Johnny definitely will never be back as Grindelwald!Plus you also have to remember that it’s about to be a new company with new people over seeing it, So as such you were technically not paying that company and are actually giving more of a chance than not having him actually return. Especially depending on what may happen with the results of his trial that’s going to be happening shortly after the movie comes out, the new people taking over Warner Bros. right before it comes out…… Also remember in regards to her that she doesn’t necessarily get a whole lot of money from this, as well the fact remains that as many people have pointed out that she already has so much money that not supporting the series will not really change any kind of “power“ that you may have against her, and after all the series should not suffer at all because of her for Regardless of what you may think, nothing I repeat nothing will ever ever truly take away what a series overall truly means to you let alone other people, And again it’s not The series that’s the problem at all in any kind of way :-) Also keep in mind that even though it’s not the best example they have at least one transgender person or someone who identifies themselves as “They” in the cast so much for her transphobia……
