Minerva McGonagall wasn’t alive during the events and timeline of Fantastic Beasts, and therefore it makes no sense to have her in those flashback scenes. She was supposedly born in 1935 (according to the information found on Pottermore) and it cannot be her mother or grandmother since the name McGonagall came from her muggle father so this cameo goes directly against canon.

@Gaint Turnip from quick google search: Minerva McGonagall was born on the outskirts of Caithness in the Scottish Highlands, on 4 October, 1935 to Robert McGonagall, a Muggle Presbyterian minister, and his wife, Isobel Ross, a witch. And Newt purchased his first wand, likely from Ollivanders, and was sorted into Hufflepuff on 1 September 1908. Or if google isn't a good source and you want Rowling herself in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, McGonagall tells Umbridge that, come December, she will have been teaching at Hogwarts for 39 years which happens in 1995 which means she started teaching in 1956. And Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie is set in 1920s New York, which would mean the whole plot of the movies happens before McGonagall could have been born.

I am more keen on believing that Newt, in his late years, has found ways to prolong his life.

I found it halarious how mrs. Mcgonagall removed the curse to let the person speak a few seconds regretted it and placed it back on the girl lol.

[@saajekanayaka1687]

Many of you say that she can't be at this time of Fantastic Beasts. But it's possible because the one in the Quidditch trophy is actually her nephew. A witch or wizard can live around 120 or 160 years.

Everyone: " This is professor Minerva Ross, she's related to McGonagall and she was alive before McGonagall was born." Hollywood: **Doesn't read the books** "This is McGonagall, we know..."

[@fionarodgers4806]

There is a theory that she was using a time turner. Although since the movies were canceled I guess it will never be confirmed.

[@joshhunt4146]

Except it wasn’t Hollywood who wrote the film

[@digifreak90]

Yeah, I know about the inconsistency of the fact that she wasn't born yet, during the events of Fantastic Beasts. My personal head canon on that matter is that the McGonagall in Crimes of Grindlewald is a different person (maybe an Aunt or something) from the Mcgonagall in the original films/books.

[@heyalfikr]

If we go with legacy, that should be Mrs. Ross. Minerva's mother's maiden name is Ross, Isobel Ross.

[@jolovesyou]

honestly i actually don’t think this is MINERVA mcgonagall, as it’s fair to assume maybe her ancestors may be professors too, i don’t think a first name was mentioned anywhere but i might be wrong since i’m just referring to what i’m seeing in this video, but it probably would make a whole lot sense if this was the case

[@heyalfikr]

It's a wrong family name. That's Minerva Ross, Minerva's grandmother. Dumbledore did mention her by name in the movie. JK wrote the screenplay like a novel. The filmmakers don't understand it. So... Everyone let's just go with familiar name and call it a day. No explanation needed & let's just see the world burn.

She can't use magic to freeze LeStrange or something, but she can use magic to bully the student harmed by LeStrange? What a role model

[@hogwarts43ver]

When this video pops up on my fyp, I am very happy

[@AndorRadnai]

You know, despite the conundrum with the timeline, the actress is absolutely perfect for the role of a young McGonagall.

[@atomicv253]

When did lestrange turn black?

My favorite part is how calm the student was upon having the hex put back on her lol

everyone saying fantastic beasts is wrong it’s a fan made video

[@ZephyrKnight76]

Those saying she shouldn’t have been born, she looks old, dumbledore dosent look much older and he was born in the 1880s, saying she was born in the 1930s makes her 50 years younger than him? Surely not. Id say she was probably born around 1895, making her about 15-20 years younger than dumbledore.
