Secrets of Dumbledore Full Breakdown/Easter Eggs/Spoiler Review

[@JordanWylde_]

I think it’d be better if the Qilin bowed to Jacob first, never said Muggles were excluded from Qilin powers. It would change some Wizarding views on Muggles and contradict Grindelwald’s opinions and plans against Muggles.

[@bestfriendsforlife6238]

Yes, after I watched the movie I thought that the chilin should’ve bowed to Jacob because first he’s like the kindest and purest person in the entire movie and also of course it would’ve proved grindewald wrong

No lie when I saw the movie I really thought either Jacob or Newt would be chosen by the creature. Just because they explained that the creature would go to someone pure of heart and honestly both characters definitely represented that. But I liked the movie either way ☺️

[@sarickacampbell2642]

Jacob has no magic and. Knows near nothing about the magical world how is he supposed to lead magical people and govern the wizard in world ? Newt biggest fear 😧 is to end up like his father working behind some desk, it’s been made pretty clear he’s no leader

@@sarickacampbell2642 right, but it doesn’t mean he has to lead??? Look at dumbledore, he literally said no. To have Jacob bowed at and then say no would be the best ending

[@blueray15]

My take on Jacob seeing Hogwarts is kind of like the vampire lore. He was invited in by a wizard (s) into Hogwarts. Therefore can enter and see the castle, interact with people, etc. This also not the first time we see a muggle in Hogwarts (at least movies), Myrtle's parents are there in a flashback.

[@DankFirewolf]

I definitely agree with this, because what if something important happened OR a muggleborn was picked for the triwizard tournament? Who would come to see them in the 3rd task?

[@tux75]

Harry never got an Obscurus because he never intentionally suppressed his magic, he never knew it existed until he met Hagrid. You can’t suppress something you don’t know exists.

[@CJDM310]

Even if you thought Harry knew he had magic, he did nothing to suppress it anyway, he did magic all the time. Contrast to Ariana, who didn't do magic at all. The 2 situations are very different.

[@zearrak5704]

Ngl I see a bit of a connection with Harry and Jacob. Harry got his invisibility cloak on Christmas, as well as other beloved things. Jacob, when he was asked how he got his wand by students at Hogwarts, he smiles and casually said he got it for christmas. Something really funny to me. Also I love how the name of the film "Secrets of Dumbledore" did not refer to just Albus, but all three living Dumbledores. We learned more about the blood pact made between Albus and Grindlewald. We learn a secret about Ariana. We Learn that Aberforth had loved and had a son, who was Credence. The title made it seem that it would just be Albus, but no it was about the family and many dark secrets they had as well as some brighter ones.

[@vivekm2757]

The point about the title was actually one of the reasons I was disappointed watching it for the first time though. I expected a movie revealing all of Albus’ backstory without realising that there are other Dumbledore characters involved too.

[@anmuart7388]

I think they went to a Muggle for the suitcases because they wanted to "confuse" Grindelwald since he had those visions. Using magic would’ve been too obvious and the magic could’ve been tracked.

[@bookchaser1103]

Yeah, I immediately thought that too.

[@chendror872]

Yea that would make sense and would fit what we know

[@AlexandraPinhao]

Also, and no one seems to get this point, using the Gemino spell would replicate the full suitcase and all that was inside right? It replicates the object exactly as it is so the whole thing would be replicated, animals inside included. They wanted normal muggle suitcases with the outside matching perfectly with Newt's, hence why she went to a muggle shop.

[@replacementplc]

I think they ask a mugle to replicate the suitcases because they're all under menace. If the one who duplicate them by Magic dies, they would desapear like the fish that Lili gave to Slughorn

I don't know if I alone in this, but I really enjoyed the scenes in Berlin. They were kinda scary if you consider what happened there in the real world, in that time period. It was a reflection.

[@molly11sings]

Everyone is complaining about how the Qilin should have bowed to either Jacob or Newt, and not Dumbledore. But, it made perfect sense to me because in the Harry Potter books, Dumbledore mentions how he was asked to rule the Wizarding World, that was that moment. Although the Qilin bowing to Jacob would have been valuable, at this time they had to stay along with the story.

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

And sometimes the people who are pure of heart are the ones who will not say it out loud or even consider it. Being HUMBLE is also an important thing to be.

[@lemortedbrian6070]

actually Dumbledore did not reject ruling the wizarding world, he was indeed the Supreme Mugwump at some point. so basically he didn't want to be minister of magic cuz too much power but he was ok with taking the most powerful position in the wizarding world.

[@Neurotik51]

Dumbledore has never struck me as a pure of heart character, quite the opposite. He has good intentions but he's quite manipulative and has aspects of light and dark to him, which makes him so interesting to me. "Pure" is not a word I'd ever have thought of to describe him.

[@CJDM310]

The snitch not leaving the pitch is likely just a rule for when the game is being played. We know at least one instance in the books where it was outside the pitch. James Potter was showing off with it during "Snapes worst memory".

[@borislovothered8124]

well the snitch can be modify, i dont remember if it was a japanese student or chinese but there was a seeker girl that play with a faster than normal snitch

[@kkeryyn]

omg i felt the same way ☺️like snape and lily’s “always” it always makes me tear up

[@s6r231]

I think that the reason the killing curse didn't immediately kill the mother qilin was because of the magical properties of her scales. She's got the skin and scales of a dragon, they're very hard to kill.

[@shreyash8294]

Yes, it can be true! After all some theories do say that even a killing curse doesn't work on dragon, you have to fire killing curse on a wound or inside the mouth to kill it. It isn't officially confirmed but well..when many people agree on it..it does become kind of truth.

[@starlight0313]

That was the first thing i noticed lol I was like: wtf did that thing just survive the killing curse

[@chad63]

plus the qillin just gave birth thus making her more vulnerable, imagine if shes not weakened maybe she couldve survived

[@TheElaska17]

Also my theory is that the spell hit it so it didnt die so quickly. Like we saw bellatrix get hit in the heart and it was specially higlighted so i think that might have something to do with it. But i still think you have the correct one. The qilib should have still died faster.

[@insthehuffle]

That's a great theory! The spell might have travelled through its hide and scales more slowly than the thin skin of a human, or even an animal like a fox (the reference). A couple of the problems Morgan spotted could be answered by theories like this.

[@kaiw522]

Muggles CAN get to Hogwarts and see the castle, with help. In HP, Moaning Myrtles muggle parents were able to come into Hogwarts Edit:spelling

I agree with you. When I heard he said that muggles can't see or get into Hogwarts, I was confused why Lily's parents would like to send Lily to a school which is basically a ruined and dangerous site. It definitely need to be unveil from muggles' eyes when necessary or any muggle parents won't let their wizarding children enroll a ruined castle.

They were in ministry of magic, so no civilians and no need to go into a magical dimension, plus Voldemort is incredibly powerful so he would most likely resisted it somehow.

I think this movie redeemed the series after the confusing Crimes of Grindelwald. It had less plots going on concurrently and it was fun, funny and moving. The encounters between Dumbledore and Grindelwald were of extremely good taste and sad at the same time. The Credence - Abeforth exchange was so emotional I really loved it. But I thing if people go in expecting to have it all explained it will feel like a blunter. The HP series had the books as a back up like a fill in the blanks. I had not read all books before watching the movies back then and the movies always felt somehow incomplete with unanswered questions. I would love if JK Rowling wrote actual books to support and explain it all but that will be impossible. I agree with the plot holes pointed out and it is disappointing but overall it made me want to see more. I don’t have expectations of this series ever be like the original HP but I felt the nostalgia and I liked to see other characters, other wizards from different countries, different beasts. Mads was such a great Grindelwald! I was bummed Johnny Depp left but then comparing the two he looks more of a leader than a crazy lunatic like Depp made him feel like. And since he is not the same villain type pure evil as Voldemort was it is perfect. Comparing the two villains and saying he’s not well written because he is not as evil as Voldemort is just plain dumb. It would be like copy cat if that was the case. Anyhow, I really hope there’s more to come and people go watch the movie! 🙂

@@Moesworld485 i agree with you? actually I liked that the quilin bowed to Dumbledore, because I thought of it as quite fitting. Usually the obvious isn’t always the „truth“ or an explanation in the wizardly world and when I thought about it, Dumbledore might not seem to be pure of heart instantly but maybe that’s not necessary. Maybe it’s his self reflection that makes him suit the quilins expectations - he knows that he isn’t all good and he knows that he’s made mistakes. The movie deals with his relationship to Grindelwald and yet, even though he’s loved him (still does a bit maybe?) he fights him and searches for a way to stop and defeat the only person that has made him feel not so alone in the world. Dumbledore acts accordingly to what he knows he’s ought to do and he takes the consequences and doesn’t go for what he could because of his powers or anything. This made me think that maybe that’s why the quilin bowed to him. He isn’t perfect - by all means, and not pure of heart, but he tries to good and acts with a great sense of altruism which maybe is essential to become purer by heart

What was good about this movie: - Adding significant lore to HP canon - World building in general - Actors - Visuals (as always) What I didn't like compared to the other movies: - The entire movie puts it's focus on one single event, taking away the shock effect, also making the internal story of the movie less interesting - Dumbledore's Secrets? What Secrets exactly? I didn't feel like there was anything significant revealed about Dumbledore, except for maybe him breaking the Unbreakable Vow, but nothing about his personality back then. I hoped it would be centered around Dumbledore more, I thought this movie would be about his internal ideological struggle (kind of what was revealed in Book 7), however right in the first scene it becomes clear he made that decision off screen already... So Dumbledore is yet just this almost perfect person, even though there is so much potential in making his character more interesting That's why I rate this movie lower than the other Fantastic Beasts movies

[@RDlover09]

Hmmm, thinking on it, I think Newt’s assistant went to a Muggle shop for the suitcases to throw of Grindewald - his disdain for Muggles is so evident that I think that threw off his ability to see the future for her part of the plan.

Good video, though you missed another plot hole: This time around when Albus describes his duel with Grindelwald and Aberforth and Ariana's death he says Grindelwald "just laughed" making it seem like he didn't fight and use spells at all and in fact only Aberforth and Albus are responsible for her death, which of course is not the way the duel was described the first time around.

Great review! Always love your stuff. A note though on Jacob (a muggle) being in Hogwarts. We learn in Chamber of Secrets that when Myrtle was murdered her parents (muggles) came to Hogwarts to collect her body (Riddle tells hagrid this when he captures him) so it seems as if in special circumstances the anti-muggle protections can be lifted for limited numbers of people. Dumbledore wanted Jacob there so an exception was made.

In defence of the movie when we talk about magical rules and explanations for things ... original book fans (I read all the harry potter book twice a year even now after reading every book more than 20 times each) have a lot of knowledge going into the harry potter movies on why things work the way that they do. If you are just a movie fan, the original harry potter movies also lack a lot of explanation for the magic and the rules. I think we need to be more forgiving to these new movies for not explaining magical rules since they realistically can’t spend the whole movie explaining things. The original movies didn’t excel at this either we could just fill in the gaps with what we know from the books.

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

Plus the first 7 books are through the point of view of a child/teenager, in a school. The first time we actualy saw "grown up magic" was Dumbledore's duel with Voldemort in the Ministry, and all sorts of crazy shit happened in both the movie and book!

Mads Mikkelsen was definitely the better Grindelwald, in my opinion. It's easy to forget that Johnny Depp ever played him, and Jude Law was also impressive as a younger Dumbledore.

[@nononoyesyesyesyesno2729]

Completely disagree. Depp had the charisma to which his people were attracted. He seduced people's emotions with it and you could see it on screen: the scary, indefinable quality.

About the part where you focused on chanting the curses and spells, delving deeper i'd agree that they don't have to say it.

Learning how to cast nonverbal spells is a huge part in Harry Potter and the Haldblood Prince" a great part of Defence against the Dark Art-Classes are about that.

Besides we see them casting nonverbal spells before especially Voldemort.

The Quilin bowing to Dumbledore didn’t bother me as much as it did some, but YES IT SHOULD HAVE BOWED TO NEWT!!😭 My favorite story line is the Dumbledore/Grindelwald relationship. I thought both actors did an amazing job during key emotional scenes that left no doubt these two men had been in love with each other and there were still embers that burned. Despite everything, Dumbledore still calls the blood pact “beautiful” reflecting on the magic they shared. The last scene where Dumbledore can’t bring himself to go to the wedding, he is still feeling pain of a lost love. Jude Law is fantastic here. Dumbledore never loves again as far as we know, and perhaps TDH2 movie where Dumbledore gives his “Don’t pity the dead” speech he is even referring to himself here 😭 but just speculating.

[@josephmaldonado1315]

I was thinking of three possibilities as to why the Killing Curse didn't instantly kill the Qilin mother: 1. Vinda was using the spell non-verbally, and as such it's power was weakened (perhaps she wanted it to suffer). This is why most other wizards say the spell when killing something/someone. 2. Qilin are somewhat resistant to the Killing Curse, like dragons are with other spells 3. She's just not experienced enough and has to use the spell multiple times

[@anonymousgaslighter345]

She killed a baby instantly in the previous movie

[@josephmaldonado1315]

Again, that was a human baby, not a magical creature, so it doesn't have any resistance to the spell

You can see how Grindelwalds character changed.

I think Jacob’s wand serves many purposes. One many woods were believed in olden times to protect against magic or evil, which is why wooden beads are so often used in rosaries and other religious objects. One of the ways these woods protected was to break enchantments, such as the ones around Hogwarts. Snakewood itself is believed to have great healing properties and Jacob is greatly in need of spiritual as well as physical healing. Also muggles are being hunted at this time, so the wand even would help hide him from those who would want to hurt him. I also like so many others felt the Qilin should have bowed to both Jacob and Newt. Of course by this time Newt has been with it for a long time, so it might have off screen.

Has cons but it's still good 👍 Another mention to the Easter eggs: That scene with all those suitcases, a bunch of pastries came out, which reminded me of that moment in the first movie where Newt and Jacob accidentally switched their suitcases. I found it quite funny.

[@americansantacruz6080]

I believe the reason for the suitcases being duplicated in a shop is for countersight. As for blocking the killing curse, I believe it has to do with the blood pact. The magical realm was great for the movies. We know why Credence is there, to kill him. The dialogue built from the first two movies.

[@Target135]

I'm glad that you and other people enjoyed it. It was tough for me and I love the original saga and Fantastic Beasts.

Felt like there were too many characters and side plots happening and it feels unrelated to the original Fantastic Beasts movie. I wish they had never called them all "Fantastic Beasts" movies

[@vivekm2757]

@EM I thought that initially too, but the movies do build on top of the first Fantastic beasts film. The beasts all have interesting and pivotal moments in all the movies so far if you think about it, eg the quilins in this one along with some other scenes like the crabs or Newts bowtruckle/nifflers. Not to mention Newt is still pivotal in the entire series as someone who “never met a monster he couldn’t’ love”. This aspect of the series is a perfect metaphor to contrast the overall political climate which was already polarising due to muggles and non-magic folk being treated as beasts. The beasts here don’t just refer to the magical creatures but even No-majs like Jacob, or Obscurials like Credence and Ariana, and how beasts are simply creatures who’ve not been accepted or loved for who they are. This also explains why Newt is so important in the films, he’s one of the few people who is able to get through to even Credence, which even Dumbledore and Leta lestrange could not do for the “beasts” in their lives… It’s all very poetic in a JKR way if you think about it.

One thing that I remember critiquing about the movie after watching it for the first time was that I didn't remember if they ever actually said the name "International Confederation of Wizards" or even it's shorter version, the "ICW". As far as I remembered, they only ever referred to the election as them "electing the leader of the Wizarding World". I don't know if this was the case or if they really did mention the organisation by name, but neither me nor my girlfriend ever heard them say it. I am also not sure how I feel about Dumbledore turning down the position when the Kirin bowed to him, since we know that he holds the position in Harry's time. Having him turn down the position in this movie feels kind of pointless since we know that he eventually accepts it, so why not just have him accept it here when it was literally thrust upon him? It would've been a nice callback to Dumbledore telling Harry that "perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who have leadership thrust upon them and take up the mantle because they must". It is in character for Dumbledore to reject power when the Kirin bowed to him, but Dumbledore in this case didn't seek power or leadership so it would've been a nice callback, and it would've closed the not-quite-plothole-but-still-stupid-kind-of-hypocrisy that Dumbledore claimed that he rejected the position of Minister of Magic 4 times because he didn't want power, when he literally was the Supreme Mugwump of the ICW for who knows how long. Having him take up the position here because of the Kirin and because he was the only one who could lead them against Grindelwald would've made him having the position later on make a bit more sense given his stance on seeking and accepting power.
