Grindalwald is NOT Dumbledores brother.

[@stephaniem6482]

Eddie Redmayne said he read the script for the first time, and the only acting prompt when capturing that giant creature was "Newt does the mating dance." He paused and was like "wait... what?" Hahaha. He had to make it all up by himself.

[@melissabrooke1146]

He’s seriously my favorite actor right now and such an amazing person. He’s great at portraying diverse characters such as Stephen Hawking, a serial killer about a true story and he did an American accent, and he played the first trans woman around 100 years ago, and it’s late so I’m not remembering the name. What a talent, though!

[@elizabethgidney3768]

Luna married Newt's grandson.

[@tktopmovies]

Awwwww!!! That is so cool and sweet to know that!

Grindelwald War : 1942-1945 Voldemort War : 1997-1998

[@crystalbaragar7044]

So much to say and I hope I don't give too much away for the other movies. #1. I love watching you guys and I can't wait to see the next few up lodes. #2 Grindelwald started the first wizarding war No Relation to Dumbledore. #3 Newt is Hufflepuff (Yellow and Black are our colors.) He is also the one that wrote the book students at Hogwarts have to read for 1 year required reading. #4 An Auror is a dark wizard, Catcher. #5 Credence is important Can't say much. #6 The Niffler Has a name but we don't learn it until the 3rd movie. #7 The Thunder bird mixed with the venom from the swooping evil made it so that only bad memories where erased. I cant wait till I Can watch the rest of what is in store.

[@LoganH0076]

I actually laughed out loud at the end when Graves was revealed to be Grindalwald and you were like "Johnny Depp?" Like that's what the reveal was haha. Graves was revealed to be Johnny Depp all along

[@caretaker158]

If you go back and re-watch "Prisoner of Azkaban", the first time Fred and George show Harry the Marauder's Map, if you pause it and look very VERY closely, you'll see Newt Scamander walking around Hogwarts. Had to add.... I've watched this several times and each and every time they get to the part where Frank creates the obliviating rain and then the guys work to put the city back together.... it just gets me. Only scene in this movie that does that. I guess it's something about everything being wiped clean and put back to rights... I don't know, but yeah, puts the lump right in the old throat. Have to add... again... at the end when there's that flicker of recognition... I'd like to think it was because of the kiss... but that's just me... lol

[@TheMoviePlanet]

That scene is beautifully put together with James Newton Howard's music.

[@erikperhs_]

The saddest thing about that scene is that that could have happened with literally any of us. We wouldn't remember. It's possible that one of us experienced something magical but then they wiped our memory.

[@erikperhs_]

ps: had to edit my comment because I wrote "experience something vaginal" the first time lol

[@trinasp]

Great reaction guys. I am so excited to be in this journey with you. Newt is definitely Hufflepuff! If you go back to the first Harry Potter film when Harry gets Dumbledore’s card from his chocolate frog, it mentions Dumbledore defeating Grindelwald. Then in The Deathly Hallows, when Harry and Hermione are in Godrick’s Hallow, they see a picture of a young Grindelwald then you hear the story of him stealing the Elder wand from Gregorovitch. Voldemort goes to Grindelwald’s cell to find out where to find the Elder wand.

[@tktopmovies]

Hey Trina!! Oh YES! You're so right!!!! We definitely remember hearing the name but couldn't exactly remember the moment when in the HP films. Thanks for the reminder! (And LOL Hufflepuff yes---IDK what we were thinking saying Ravenclaw!!??) Thank you for watching with us! Eager to watch the next one on Saturday!

[@trinasp]

@@tktopmovies I am so ready for Saturday to come to see the second movie. I had a chance to meet Dan Fogler (Jacob) and Alison Sudol (Queenie) at LeakyCon in 2018. I worked the autograph line as a volunteer that year. I only got to see her for a bit, but I worked the line for the autographs for Dan Fogler longer. He finished faster than Alison did, so we had several minutes when we had to wait for people to come from her line to his. I got to talk to him and watch him sketch a picture on the tablecloth. I told him that he needed to give it to me, so he asked if he could, but the promoters wouldn't let him. He was very funny, though. He was mostly signing just his name on most of the items, but for mine, he first signed his name and then said "No, no, no...give it back to me" and added, "To Trina, Rock On!" That same convention, I got to meet the actor that played Viktor Krum, Blaise, Percy Weasly. I'm going back to the one in Chicago in August this year, but I think I'm only going as a fan and not a volunteer.

[@Cwhirt910]

These movies get a lot of hate but I love them for what they are. Eddie Redmayne as Newt is probably my second favorite character in all of the Harry Potter world. Jacob perfectly captures all of us as a fan of the series. Also Newt is a Hufflepuff.

[@davebirch1976]

I think Grindelwald got mentioned in the first HP film when Ron reads the back of Dumbledores chocolate frog card and it mentioned something about him defeating Grindlewald.

[@bidwell13]

I think it’s funny she says who’s gonna marry him and her sister falls in love with him. The stuff Newt uses to “obliviate” the city was only supposed to rid the bad memories and nothing that Jacob went through was bad in his mind. It was like the best time of his life.

[@TheAlmaward]

Aberforth Dumbledore is Albus Dumbledore's brother. Gellert Grindelwald was Albus' best friend as a child, as we learned in Deathly Hollows, from Hermione reading Bathilda Bagshot's book.

[@ninaclausen5467]

I love these prequels ♥️ I’m so happy you’re watching them, too ♥️ More of the magical world - what’s not to like 🤩♥️ Greetings from Denmark 🤗

[@tktopmovies]

Hey Nina from Denmark!! :) Thank you so much for watching! So glad to hear that you love these movies too! This one was so good, we are looking forward to the next movie in the trilogy!!

[@traceybrook7373]

Grindalwald was mentioned in The Deathly hallows (He stole the wand from the shop). Hagrid mentioned a Botruckle before he escorted harry to the weasley`s from the Dursleys

[@bettygorman4545]

There were supposed to be five movies. They stopped at three because they’re not making money, and they were also issues with some of the cast. They did not start out by being books. I think it’s a shame because the series had real promise. Is it is good as the original Harry Potter series? No, but I was entertained, and my critiques tend to be strict. I hope you will watch all three. Thanks for your reviews!

[@deachristiancatlady5435]

It's a shame....Depp is awesome and they made the mistake of firing him...he was the reason it would have been BIG

[@stephaniem6482]

It's so sad that they're not making more. The controversy with Johnny Depp and Ezra Miller really dampened everything (Rowling fought hard to keep Depp in the movies to no avail), and the pandemic affecting movie ticket sales didn't help. Also, Rowling's stories almost seem too complex to simply exist in movie-form. A friend of mine worked on these movies and said 20-30 pages had to be cut from each script simply to keep the movies a decent length. If they were released as books first, there definitely would have been more interest.

[@bettygorman4545]

@@stephaniem6482 what you said was very interesting. I enjoyed them. I thought the last one was a little on the weird side, but I did enjoy them. I also do not think they should reboot the original first series. Either in movie or television series form. They were magical, and they should not be tampered with. They stand on their own even today.

[@TheMoviePlanet]

There is zero confirmation that 4 & 5 will never be made, it is all only Internet rumors.

[@deachristiancatlady5435]

newt wrote a book that's listed on the book requirements for hogwarts

[@jay_ooh]

These movies are some of my fav movies ever, but by the 3rd one the darkness takes over, but I know y'all are gonna love these movies too, I just know it for sure!!!

[@vanriss6226]

Scamander is the author of the book "Fantastic Beast and where you find them" used in the first year of Harry in Hogwarts.

[@chris...9497]

An obscurus is the chaotic outgrowth of suppressed magical ability. Think of it as the projection of the inner conflict of expressing power that you've felt forced to suppress. The person who is the source of an obscurus is an obscurial. The obscurus is the expression, the obscurial creates the expression. The obscurus becomes more powerful over time, as the magical power grows inside the obscurial (magical power grows in all wizards and witches as they mature and especially as they work with it). But the obscurus takes its toll on the obsurial, physically, which is why obscurials have never been documented as living past the age of ten. It would take an amazingly willful and physically strong individual to live beyond ten. Obscuruses are parasitic to their source/host as well as uncontrollable. Side notes: Albus Dumbledore was devoted to his little sister Ariana, who was attacked at age six by 3 muggle boys when they saw her doing some underaged magic. She was so traumatized thereafter that she suppressed her magic, developed an obscurus, and died at age 14. If the Dursleys had succeeded in discouraging Harry from using magic, if he had internalized their censorship and self-suppressed his magic, he could have become an obscurial. One has to wonder if the manner of Ariana's death had influenced Dumbledore in bringing Tom Riddle to Hogwarts or if it was simply the usual automatic registry of a wizard who had demonstrated magical capability.

[@tktopmovies]

Hey Chris!! Loved reading your comment! Thanks for further explaining the obscurus and obscurial!! That is so sad to hear that Ariana went through that...so that's why she died at 14. Ugh :( This was a great movie, we really enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching!

[@conniegaylord5206]

FYI Frank is a Thunderbird. A native American legend.

[@tktopmovies]

Oh wow! That is awesome! Thanks for watching with us, Connie :)

[@cruzuvalle9845]

I love newt scamander!!! And I love huffelpuff!!!!

[@tktopmovies]

Newt is soooo sweet and caring for the magical beasts! Love him too! Thanks for watching with us, Cruz :)

[@rafaelmatos5851]

Just to clarify... the American wizarding world is way different than the British one... especially during the 20s. At that time, wizards and witches were forbidden from socializing with No-Majs (Muggles) more than necessary, meaning they couldn't befriend them or marry them. Unlike with you have already seen during the Harry Potter movies, that doesn't come from pure-blood supremecism, but rather from fear of having their world revealed. It's the total opposite than what happens in Europe, where the wizards and witches came to find a way to live among the Muggles without revealing themselves. This comes from the way the wizards and witches were persecuted by Muggles/No-Maj. In Europe, during Inquisition, the persecution against wizards and witches was not as bad as it appeared to be, as the punishment against them was normally death by fire, something that was very questionable against real wizards and witches who could just use a charm to prevent themselves from being burned. In fact, some of them even came to find a liking for it and would let themselves be caught many times. However, there were some cases where real wizards and witches were actually killed (like Sir Nicholas and the Fat Friar, two of the House ghosts of Hogwarts), but nothing that much concerning. Despite everything, wizards and witches were unable to live at peace with the constant persecution, so they decided to hide themselves, but always keeping their connection to the Muggle society. In America, during the 17th century, however, things happened differently. During settlement, many wizards and witches known as Scourers would come to take advantage of the lack of wizarding government in the North America to act as mercenaries, even going as far as to turn innocent No-Majs over to Puritans to be sentenced to death for being witches. This led to the Salem Witch Trials, where some Scourers would preside them, passing as No-Maj, persecuting and condemning REAL witches with whom they had a vendetta. The Salem Witch Trials were so traumatic that many European wizards and witches ended up returning home out of fear. But that was just the beginning. The Scourers were eventually taken down from power when the prototype of the MACUSA was created, with the first 12 Aurors of it (which included Abraham Potter, a relative of Harry) who were able to capture most of the Scourers. The remaining ones went into hiding, renouncing the magical world and marrying No-Majs (and the same happening with their descendants) in an effort to have magicless descendants (while also "winnowing out" any magical children), both to keep their cover and to carry on their vendetta against the wizarding world by exposing them and having them wiped out. Meanwhile, the Salem Witch Trials was the catalyst that drove all the wizarding societies to go into hiding. Regarding the evaded Scourers, their descendants carried out their vendetta and they tried for many times to expose the wizarding world to the No-Majs... what they almost managed to do during the late 18th century. A young witch called Dorcus Twelvetrees fell in love with a No-Maj called Bartholomew Barebone. She ended up telling him about the magical world, but what she didn't know was that Barebone was actually a descendant of the evaded Scourers (and also an ancestor to that Mary Lou Barebone, the woman that was protesting against witches) and he tricked her to tell him information about many key places there in America (like MACUSA and Ilvermorny), with him then stealing her wand and gathering many No-Majs to rally out any wizard and witch that could live there (but many of them were mostly innocent No-Maj). Fortunately, Barebone was arrested by No-Maj authorities and discredited. However, that was a close call for the wizarding community in America, causing the president at that time, Emily Rappaport, to enact a law that prohibited wizards and witches from socializing with any No-Maj, being befriending them or marrying them. The only exception to this rule were No-Maj-born wizards, but only regarding their families. That law remained active until the 1965 and was intended to mirror the racial segregation laws in US.

[@Matheus-vf9sj]

Guyss I'm from Brazil and it was such a pleasure meet u. You really have great energy, happy and sincere smiles. I really like following you. Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷♥️✨

Well, there's one familiar person Newt's connected to: his grandson will be married to Luna bloody Lovegood!

[@debbiecantwell7739]

Newt’s book was on the book list of requirements for first years in Sorcerer’s Stone.

[@softly128]

Bellatrix Black married a Lestrange man then became Bellatrix Lestrange.

[@tktopmovies]

[@tktopmovies]

Hey Aleee!! Thanks for watching! We are enjoying this trilogy so far! Can't wait to see what happens next :)

[@brandibastian4193]

Oh sweet summer child no gellert Grindelwald went to durmstrang academy and apparently he and Albus Dumbledore became quick friends I thought it was a joke when I first heard but apparently he was the only person Dumbledore ever loved in that sort of way but it wasn't reciprocated he was basically the Voldemort before Voldemort like around the time he was born apparently he and Alvis were very close and things kind of broke off between them when Albus realize he was very much going to the dark side this was when Dumbledore was already a teacher

[@charmylynn5261]

So Newt: did not say that an obscurus can’t live past 10years of age he said he’s never heard of or seen one live that long.

[@brandibastian4193]

Yeah newt scamander's a Hufflepuff

[@edwardsadler3348]

Newts footsteps were seen walking on Harry's map..

[@charmylynn5261]

Newt is hufflepuff not Ravenclaw

[@melissabrooke1146]

Isn’t this just so very fun?

[@brandibastian4193]

The prequels there were supposed to be five movies and they better not cut us off where we left off because we have not learned all the secrets of the background on the series

[@deachristiancatlady5435]

[@tomaszstoinski214]
