I love Katherine Waterson's look here. Forest green with gold accents and dark nails- killin it! But you're both being way too diplomatic about the Grindewald turning into Dumbledore theory (wut). This is debunked solidly by the HP books and movies. In Deathly Hallows Voldemort kills Grindewald at Nurmengard and then goes directly to Dumbledore's tomb, cracks it open and snatches the elder wand out of Dumbledore's old, dead hands. Sooo yeah. I've read these books a lot lol.

[@1rjona]

why does that disproves the theory? Whoever won the Dumbledore-Grindewald duel owns the Elder Wand

[@hollymoos9422]

I wanna see how the hell Luna met Rolf since we never see him at school with her. But he’s the grandson so there may not be time for that

[@86upsmaya]

Rolfcould be 5 or 6 years her senior, close to te age of Charlie or Bill Weasley

[@littlemissmello]

Rolf is most likely in Luna's year I feel, or at least a year above Harry's. He was originally meant to tell the Tale of Three Brothers in the seventh book but was cut from the book in favour of Luna's dad telling the story. I don't think it's at all unlikely for us to not know Rolf from the books. We don't even know everyone sorted in Harry's year, let alone everyone sorted in the year below his. Luna was a friend to Harry but it wasn't like they were close or hung out all the time so why would we notice her being friends with some random boy? They might not even have been friends at all! They both became involved in the care of magical creatures after school so they might just as well have met through work.

[@nourtney2178]

He could have went to Ilvermorny

[@littlemissmello]

@Marianne It was implied that Ginny named their daughter after her best friend more like, which they were

[@littlemissmello]

@Marianne yes but that's rather one-sided. I'm not saying that Harry didn't like Luna but Luna was without a doubt lonely and she didn't have many friends at all if she would paint a picture of Hermione and Ron of all people (two people who have been less than nice to her at times) on her ceiling. She isn't depicted hanging out with Harry and the others outside of their activities. I'm sure that they're friends and they might have grown closer after the war too, but she was definitely Ginny's friend before Harry's, in both a linear sense as in importance.

weeeell actually you made me think of a theory my colleague was talking about. When Rowling was asked on twitter if it was true there would be five movies, she answered yes in five different languages. English, French, German, Portuguese and Italian. My colleague was saying that he thought it stood for every language represented in the movies or something. If they indeed went to Rome that would be a perfect fit

[@robertlee7861]

Daddy Devito that wasn’t around until 2000

[@4everGirlStar]

littlemissmello well the first movie played in the US, the second one they were in Paris, so maybe we‘ll actually get to see Berlin in the next one? Would be interesting considering the state of Germany after the war as well

I dont think Nagini is bad to begin with. She just eventually turns into a snake without being able to come back again. And when she finds Voldemort, who can talk to her, she might be reminded of her days as a human and sees him as her last bond to a human being. Also, Grindelwald cant be the later Dumbledor, as long as he cant split himself in two bc both are still alive after the battle.. even tho i really like that fan theory^^

[@affebanane3039]

I doubt Quennie will survive the movies. She is in big danger now. Theory: Grindelwald changed the speel of the death fire so Quennie doesn't burn but fells pain so he knows where she stands. He then helped her get trough the fire because he needs her to manipulate Credence. I think when the war Beginns he needs loyal followers and will therefore kill Quennie when it is to dangerous for him to have not trustworthy followers around.

[@affebanane3039]

@Ennaliya bro I really hope she survives but I just don't think it's going to happend. She will make it to the end and then she will die. JK has done this before, let character die that were with us since the beginning

[@affebanane3039]

@Ennaliya what? What you mean with she will not die because she is JK? Has jk stated she will survive?

[@affebanane3039]

@Ennaliya I understand. So Grindelwald nukes Quennie but she survives it.

I would very much like to see Newtina's wedding and their kids. The films are developing their relationship so it's only right we get to see them get together and then married. We know they have two sons together. Their wedding though would be so adorkable. I can picture all of the fantastic creatures being there, the small animals at least, and everyone keeping an eye on the Niffler so he doesn't cause any mischief and try to steal the bride and groom's rings. And Jacob and Queenie making their cake together. I'm getting way ahead of myself but I'm dying to see it. It would be really cute! I really hope we will. 😁🙏

[@loislovescheese4776]

[@Cat_astrophe04]

The theory about grindlewald being dumbledore is impossible because near the end of the deathly hallows part 1 movie you see voldermort confronting Grindewald in prison years after he stole the elder wand to ask him where it was, assuming this is the same Gellert grindlewald as in fantastic beasts, this is after dumbledore died. this also could confirm that grindlewald does not die in fantastic beasts movies unless as I said before, there is another person named Gellert Grindlewald

[@xfakexhappyx]

Well as far as I can remember. Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't seen the movies/read the books. Dumbledore is known for defeating Grindlewald but that doesn't mean specifically killing him. So yeah it's the real Grindlewald. He even said to Voldemort when asked where the Elder Wand is "You know he has it" (or something along the line) referring to Dumbledore.

[@duku9919]

Everyone is saying rowling shouldn't have been the screenwriter. After seeing the film, my take away is, she shouldn't have thought up this series or at least not in the way it unfolded. This was just bad story writing, if she even published this as a book, i don't see how it could have turned out to be a good story. The way the story progressed, it just didn't seem natural or organic. It was like a robot wrote it with a end goal in mind and it took the story from beginning to end in a bizarre, artificial way. I never expected rowling to write something like this.

[@mari6617]

the comparison of this video and dan&ezras video is hilarious

[@user-wt5db2fz7r]

Credence is an obscurus! He’s Albus’ ‘dark twin’ as he developed an obscurial during the times when his mother died, his dad was in-prisoned, he lost his sister (part of his fault) and also his lover. His talent with magic enabled him to remove the obscurus (we’ve seen newt remove one). This is why grindelwald called credence a brother in relation to dumbledore and also why the Phoenix appeared. This also explains why credence lived for so long as he is the parasite and he is so powerful because he is a dumbledore.

Grindelwald was in the Harry potter books and movies. In the deathly hallows Voldemort visits Grindelwald in Nurmengard (Grindelwalds prison) and asks about the elder wand . In the books he doesn't tell Voldemort so Voldemort kills him and in the movies Grindelwald tells him so Voldemort lets him live and in the conversation Harry and dumbledore had in the forest near the end of the book dumbledore said (talking about Grindelwald) "they say he showed remorse in later years, alone in his cell at Nurmengard. " This means Grindelwald was still alive so the theory about dumbledore dying and Grindelwald taking his place couldn't work
