[@Lupinemancer87]

The main reason is, in the books, all wizards/witches wears robes. The Wizarding World is basically stuck in the medieval era and they all wear robes in different colors, the exception being Hogwarts Students who all wear black robes. The Movies changed that for some reason and people have taken that being the canon versions of their outfits.

I personally would watch another movie or 2 if & when they apologize publicly to the fans of the franchise & Johnny Depp for wrongfully fired him over baseless ,malicious lies that he was the abuser meanwhile we all now know he was the abused !!! & they were also stupid enough to keep not only the abusive amber turd in aqua man 2 but they also kept the other abusive actor Ezra Miller too!!!!! the double standard bullshit excuses are disgusting & maybe the real reason their movies dont make the money they want!!!!!! in my opinion they should try to get Johnny back at least for the duel with Jude Law's Dumbledore that alone would be the reason why I would go see that movie but after the public apology to Johnny & the fans & make it as a public service message that no matter gender, skin color, race, & sexuality abuse comes in all forms!!!! & its unacceptable !!!!!!

[@rawdoncrawley189]

The reason why these movies didn't attract audiences is because, similarly to The Hobbit, the plot was really, really really dumbed down. It's the marvel effect, with cheap anti-climatic laughs.

[@JustJessee]

I think it'd be a smart move to literally wait the 12ish years from end of FB3 to when the final battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald takes place...and release a final FINAL installment of this series. This allows the actors to age up realistically, a breather for the bad PR that plagued the first 3 to be forgotten, giving the franchise the ability to wrap that story up with the centerpiece action being depicted, and...bring in a different actor for Grindelwald. Why? It would mean each installment will have had a different actor playing that role, making the recasting of Depp in FB2 be WAY LESS NOTICEABLE in rewatches. If it's just the norm that Grindelwald changes his face every few years, that abrupt change from JD to LM in FB3 seems more natural. Imo. Grindelwald becomes a sort of evil Doctor Who of sorts.

Its counter-charm was the Eradication Spell, which removed these images. it can happen unintentionally when they have core wands, but the spell can happen at other times. If the spell was the killing curse, it results in the spirit images. Amos Diggory cast this spell on Harry Potter's wand in the aftermath of the Death Eater attack at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, in order to determine whether he conjured the Dark Mark over the campsite.

[@ladycplum]

As much as I hate to say it, I think Mads probably should've been cast as Grindelwald from the very beginning. (As much as I love Johnny, I really didn't like the whole Heterochromic look with his eyes, that skull bong, and how he could sometimes go OTT even in quiet, simple moments. Then there's Johnny playing him as British, which he wasn't. Mads's accent is perfect, as it has a very continental European feel to it (I mean, he is Danish after all.). We have to remember that Gellert was born in the Austro-Hungarian empire at the end of the 19th Century (the countries in that Empire would later become Austria, Hungary, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia) and he went to Durmstrang, so he would've probably spoken with an accent closer to any one of those countries. Plus I felt Johnny could over-egg the pudding, or go OTT, even in quiet moments. But Mads just seemed to know when to keep his performance as real as possible without going into hysterics. He knew when to hit the "stop" button before he took it too far. And his chemistry with Jude Law was outstanding. The tea scene was a major standout in the third film, as was the final fight in Bhutan where they both stop the fight when they notice they have their hands over each other's hearts, and realize that there is still love there, at least on Grindelwald's side. I'll always agree that Warner Brothers did Johnny something dirty based on unfounded accusations, yet had no problem keeping Ezra Miller onboard, when some of what he's been accused of is actually provable. But I do think Mads was a better Grindelwald. (There, I've said my bit. Bombard me with flames if you must)

[@DanielaDormiaru-ih9xf]

4: Love in the time of Dragons. Have to bro. Since they love each other and WW2 kind of pops off at the same time. Dragons fighting would be epic. Dumbledore famously discovers all the 12 uses of Dragon's Blood. I MEAN COME ON. COME ON WB PLEASE. THERE WAS GONNA BE DRAGON BLOOD SPILLED EVERYWHERE. HOW DARE YOU TEASE .... Where was I? Oh and lastly... 5: The Stick of Destiny But centered around unicorns being weaponized to commit travesties against the muggles during their war. Their incredible speed and tails of magic on top of horns that can cure being used for evil. Forces Dumbledore to act as their numbers plummet (they're only ever shown in the Forbidden Forest and Hagrid is specifically shown to be in charge of guarding them in the first film them being nearly brought to extinction in the rise of Grindelwald and Dumbledore acting against them as the master of Dragons). But trying to keep them all alive in vain. Saving their species as he breaks the Elder Wand's mastery in defeat of his lover. But can't deal the final blow but Gellert tries. (The unicorns snapping out of their massive Imperius curse would be epic as they don't typically attack anyone according to Hagrid. So them jumping in after Dumbledore takes the elder Wand but Grindelwald pops out the concealed strap (his original wand) from the non wand hand only to get horned (them being able to cast spells from their horns would be epic. Fawkes being present as A unicorn horn burns his original wand with the golden fire Harry uses against Dumbledore. While permanently causing pain to his arm would be how I saw it. Since nobody has any clue where the golden fire comes from (but unicorns start gold and turn white over the course of seven years the most magical of numbers as Voldy said). Bro UNICORNS. Newt wrote it in the damn book. ONE OF THE MOST MAGICAL CREATURES. Dragons and Unicorns is what WB left on the table. That fifth film probably goes Avengers level if it teases a WW2 back drop and Dumbledore riding into an army of flying unicorns on the back of a fully grown Hungarian Horntail or even better... A NORWEGIAN RIDGEBACK as to why Both Riddle and Hagrid would think so highly of one. Epic!!!!! Damnit WB you made it about fantastic beasts. You Albus who's completely tied to dragons. And you never once acknowledged the only creature that Newt showed nothing but obvious bias towards their magical power. (mumbles several French words...) Amber (several more French) Heard.

[@AquaMarin-ww3qx]

I always felt there would be another plot twist comming, already hinted by Rita Skeeter in the Harry Potter series - „that there was no spectacular duel of legend, but that Grindelwald simply conjured a white handkerchief from the end of his wand and came quietly“. As it was in the last Fantastic Beast movie when they both could not bring themself to actually kill each other, I think that this might have happened again but in a much more obvious situation. They duell in an epic way and somewhere during this duell Grindelwald disarmed Dumbledore but could not actually bring himself to kill him. Dumbledore could then get back his wand and disarm Grindelwald. Dumbledore would then learn from Grindelwald that this really was the elder wand and he was its master now. And it would also explain why he never again tried to excape and why he laughed at Voldemort and told him he would never understand the elder wand itself.

[@SSJRadioBluth]

I think it would be epic as described by eye witnesses to Elphias Doge. Where Grindelwald forces amazing magic through the elder wand, even though I like this Ariana theory. That magic so powerful was used that actually made it completely terrifying. Fawkes with some epic magic against the Elder Wand. Master of Transfiguration Doubledore. We've seen him use water and fire. So seeing that and then Earth and Air based spells (he used one to slow Harry down that they called Arresto momentum but that was defensive). That light shield was epic against Voldy. Light armor at his prime world be epic. (Like Aang uses crystals and rocks). Allowing him to move faster as he's surrounded by his own magic. Overwhelming GG's power with astonishing magic even he can't comprehend. Like the earth spell I thought to show it's his B. The way he Avatared that water ball and created a fire tornado at death's door. An Earth Dragon that physically destroys Gellert while his ancient magic overwhelmed him mentally. And instead of surrendering he fights to the End but Dumbledore can't bring himself to do it but the unicorns he nearly brought to extinction think otherwise and deliver the magical final blows. With Dumbledore bringing the unicorns to the Forbidden Forest as a way to bring them back from the verge of extinction. (Since only one single dead one was shown but then a whole herd were revealed later as listening to Acting Professor Grubbly-Plank implying familiarity with Hogwarts staff). And we know for a fact Dumbledore provides Ollivander with wand cores. Building up to Grindelwald using unicorns the most powerful magical creatures that literally represent immortality. Move faster than werewolves (to the point where Hagrid completely dismissed one chasing down even a baby) and are only seen at Hogwarts Forbidden Forest across all mediums (so far). Always thought fourth film was gonna be about dragons. And the fifth film about unicorns. Since Newt himself in the passage he writes describes them as one of the most magical creatures there are. And we've seen a few of the others. So the scaling of what they're capable of is gonna be legendary. (Note no dragon has such a description). Shame that we'll never see it.

It's because people took the most wrong impression ever from the first movie. Somehow, they thought it'd be a Pokemon with magic, even since the first movie showed that it's about a pacifist being forced to be involved in a war he was avoiding. And, because of that, the third movie kinda ruined the potential of the franchise by taking the LeSs iS mOrE approach to the extreme when it was promising a badass sequence on the third act. I even wrote and published an article about how people's misunderstanding of the franchise was the problem all along.

[@JustJessee]

"people's misunderstanding of the franchise was the problem all along" while 1000000% accurate....misses the more important point: the movies didn't allow themselves to be understood by its audience. Yes, art is for the artist....but this was, from the beginning, not intended to be a young writers expression of art in writing like HP was. This was an established multi millionaire wanting to flex their skills by doing it themselves (screenwriting vs novel writing) while making bank for the studios. Something was overlooked in all process and I feel it was due to pride and arrogance - the real connection and spirit of the story was never made. It was just assumed people would pick it up. It wasn't.

The second one "Crimes of Grindelwald" we gets snippets and pieces of what his crimes are and how he is "doing the final stretch" The Third one "secrets of Dumbledore", obviously we found out about Aurelius, but it alofted to the whole ordeal in which.. WE or majority of us alteat expected it to be a secret for the Dumbledore in which we saw in HP, get a glimpse of him and his... not that "taaadaaaa.. you're an uncle" (obviously there's the blood pact and the love between him and Gellert). not to mention, in how things were mentioned before hand, it leaves a sour taste in peoples mouth.. the big duel Gellert and the two Dumbledore brother's fighting Gellert.. Ariana coming forth and getting killed... this was insinuated in the later Harry Potter movies as being the rift that split the Dumbledore brothers. This is insinuated to be the "big downfall" of Gellert. Now (in the movies) it's just a "eeeeh, one dumb thing led to another dumb thing, the whole thing was dumb and she died"

Fantastic Beasts could have attempted the fourth installment by bringing Johnny Depp back as Grindelwald, which might have drawn audiences back to theaters. Due to his recent personal turmoil, Depp's career in major studio films has been in the shadows, so his return to a significant role could have rekindled interest in the series and brought people back to theaters.

Exactly to be honest. All of these spin offs would probably be significantly better if they started off as well thought out, established story following novels, and were then made into movies. Rather than really mediocre, contradictory scripts and plays being put out and Rowling putting her name onto them. Obviously Rowling has done well enough off the original Harry Potter series meaning there probably isn’t much incentive to write more long(ish) series set in that world, but the quality would have been significantly higher if she had. Not that the spin offs are necessary. No sequel is really needed at all, and the prequels, while they had potential as stories were terribly executed and have honestly been rather underutilised.

Awesome thoughts! The thing that stuck out most to me though was the timeline to when Nagini became a horocrux. The main stories state that Harry was to be the last one.

@@lizbird9628 respectfully, I disagree. I am unable to cite my conviction at this time, but there are several other people who agree with you, so I am willing to be wrong. However, I will state my conviction and maybe someone can site the text (not an online forum). I “remember” reading that Voldemort came to the Potters ready to make a horcrux. I “remember” (I think from Dumbledore) that his final horcrux would be made with *the Chosen One* (poetic, really, that lucky number seven would be made with “the one” who could defeat him). I do not remember anything about Bertha (Bathilda) becoming a horcrux, I thought Bertha (Bathilda) was worn as a skin by Nagini. That, in and of itself, does not mean that’s the time Nagini became a horcrux. I maintain she was a horcrux the entire time or Harry would not have been able to see through her eyes in Order of the Phoenix. Again, I cannot cite page number for the conversation, I think it’s in Half-blood Prince, but it will take me time to re-read the book.

[@lizbird9628]

@matthewnewbold8691 I'm not arguing the order that the horcrux's were made ... I also felt that in Goblet of fire - Harry sees from Nagini's perspective, Barty Crouch Jr with V, he felt like he killed the old man. Then in Order of Phoenix, he felt it was him who had attacked Mr.Weasley. Therefore, Nagini became a Horcrux at some point after Harry (most likely when "scabbers ran off at the end of Prisoner of Azkaban), but before that. I'm saying that when Dumbledore said Harry must be the last ... that he meant Harry needed to be the last to die.

[@lizbird9628]

Oh wait, I get you now - Voldemort intended Harry's death that night in Godricks Hollow to make his last Horcrux. His soul split into 7 pieces. Instead, this occurred with the death of Lilly rebounding on "love" magic Harry became the Horcrux. V didn't know that he made that Horcrux. Therefore, he created one in Nagini. This required a death ... we are led to believe that was Bertha Jorkins (Chapter 1) Goblet of Fire. Also this is when Frank dies ... Don't forget 7 pieces of soul (so 6 Horcrux's plus V himself makes the 7) 1. Voldemort 2. Diary 3. Ring 4. Locket 5. Goblet 6. Diadem 7. made Nagini, as he failed to kill Harry and make one in Godrick Hollow. (He didn't realise Harry was one till later).

I liked The Secrets of Dumbledore and thought it was okay, but I guess they consider anything less than a blockbuster hit a failure. It wasn't a failure, but it wasn't a hit either. It was 'meh' all around. Losing J. Depp certainly was unacceptable to many fans and Ezra Miller's issues wasn't helpful either.

[@DanielaDormiaru-ih9xf]

I like it to and for me it was not meh. I liked the challenge to subvert a seer and the introduction of new fantastic beasts.

[@KillerZxAce]

The franchise has not officially been cancelled. The showrunner has said that that there is no script currently for a next movie. The franchise has been put on hold as it were. So with a bit of luck if the new HBO Max Harry Potter show will be popular, they might continue with the Fantastic Beasts franchise. Fingers crossed!

Thankfully there are still people such as yourself(@chesron456) who can discern between what is fact and what is fiction. I'm on board with your assessment regarding this matter and will have my wands crossed along with you🪄.

[@ChienaAvtzon]

@@StarForgedTCG - No, they did not. The original agreement was for three movies, and WB made a trilogy. Also, even if “Secrets of Dumbledore” earned $1bil at the box-office, the franchise would have been paused due to the cast and crew working on other projects. They were going to take a break regardless.

I wonder if Nagini even remembered any of her human past. Maledictus eventually lose their entire human memories. They'll eventually give in completely to their animal side; that includes memories.

So sad that this series was cancelled. I wanted to see the outcomes of Jacob and Queenie, and Newt and Tina. Both were such wonderful couples. And of course, I'm sure the advent of Riddle would have been worked into the story, as well as the Nagini narrative.

[@travisvanalst4698]

The casting was so great, but the story made no sense. Grindlewald should have had his own series with Dumbledore. I’m fine with the first movie ending with Grindlewald being caught inadvertently with the help of Scamanders beasts. But I would have loved to see more movies with Newt finding more beasts with Kowalski tagging along. I would have loved to see Kowalski being such a help and indispensable partner that MACUSA eventually allows Kowalski to walk into Ilvermorny to teach a Magical Beasts class there based on his adventures with Newt. Maybe receiving statue there cementing his legacy as a NoMaj that was able to gain love in the wizarding world and his contributions forever remembered.

[@lilomilos]

[@atavious2491]

I'm certain Fantastic Beasts 4 and 5 would've been like The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith of the Harry Potter franchise. Everything connecting together, the ancestors of Harry Potter's generation being introduced, and the overall stage being set for the Harry Potter movies to take shape. Such a shame this didn't come to pass for obvious real world reasons. This "trilogy" ended similarly to the Narnia movies made by Disney and Fox where they had to cut it short in part 3 despite more movies being planned. Which is why the third film ended on a satisfying note, even though Lucy said they had a lot more adventures in Narnia after the war ended but those were other stories for another time. Basically giving up and not adapting the remaining books into film.

[@thebrowneyesofmandalore]

I think a major aspect of the Fantastic Beasts failure was due to the over reliance of Credences character to help drive the narrative, while you already had such a massive driving force, that being Dumbledore and Grindelwald. After film one there was zero purpose to Credence’s existence in the franchise and it ultimately led to the highly controversial detail of him being a Dumbledore. Especially when it went against canon pretty hard. He could’ve remained simply as a muggle born who was an Obscurial that died at the end of the movie. That’s that. But keeping him around without reason was highly unnecessary and in the end led to disaster. I also find your Ariana’s Death theory pretty interesting. I always thought (since the introduction of the concept of an Obscurus) that Ariana was herself an Obscurus and during a feud between Albus, Aberforth, and Grindelwald, where they began dueling, had an outburst of Dark Obscurial magic that killed her.

[@williamarrowood6561]

The producers should see sense and give Depp the role of Grindelwald back now that he’s proven innocent. But we know how it ends. Dumbledore duels him for 3 hours and imprisons him in his own prison until Voldemort finds him seeking the Elder Wand

[@halvorson566]

We KNOW how it ends. But we NEED TO SEE IT.

It should have been called "Dumbledore's back story". While I liked the movies, I wanted more creatures and more tricky situations, ya' know, Fantastic BEASTS.

[@stfjesusfreak]

Grindlewald had the Elder Wand for a short time, and during the duel Ariana subdued Gelart, temporarily give her ownership of the Elder Wand. Then Dumbledore accidentally killed Ariana making him the master of the wand. GG flees and all the while AD was the true master of the wand. When the legendary duel took place, the wand although in GG possession, he wasn’t the master of it. Just like in DH book 7, the wand went to Harry after a period of time; hence why the fight/duel was so intense as GG was no joke, and neither was AD. Sadly, we’ll never see the duel, but that’s my take on what happened; although I maybe wrong! 😂

[@richewilson6394]

And Hagrid plays somewhere in the events that he saves dumbledore's life because we haven't seen that yet.

[@ronaldshank8665]

As I have stated before, the Elder wand had "allegiance" to no one, hence why it is so "temperamental". The Elder wand never "selected" a witch or wizard. The Elder wand whose true owner was Death was "given" to Perveral without the wand "selecting" him. Therefore he was not the owner and every time the wand changed hands from then on, it merely was passed to whomever was the strongest. Again with it not "selecting" an owner. This is why no one could wield the wand to it's fullest potential, including Voldermort after he stole the wand from Dumbledore's tomb. The true owner became Harry Potter when he "defeated" Death in the Deathly Hallows. This is why Tom Riddle could not defeat Harry in their duel at Hogwarts. The wands "allegiance" was with Harry and therefore would not harm him and allowed Tom to be defeated.

[@AustynSN]

I've always figured it was Harry getting up after Voldemort killing him in the forest that really won the wand's allegiance. By getting up after that, he'd managed to literally overpower death, the wand's true master.

[@megaham1552]

That would make sense but I feel that would've been explained at the end of the movies

[@Cab1726]

I’m pretty sure Voldemort survived by possessing animals without a body of his own, so the meeting between Nagini and Voldemort might have literally been like two snakes bumping into each other and striking up a chat and realizing they’re both *sort of* human.

[@RowanWolf22]

Got into 2:50 mark where you say about it 'halting' it wasn't halted, it was cancelled. Since first they had to hire a new person for Grindlewald, but then a certain actor, Ezra, fucked right up and ruined everything even more by doing crimes, so Warner bros just couldn't replace another actor again when he played a big role. he might have *barely* avoided prison by paying tons of money, but Warner bros isn't the type to hire back people who they see as 'criminals'. Yes they say 'indefinitely paused' which is just fancy words for.. Cancelled.

The recasting of Grindelwald ruined it, they need to start over, reboot the whole thing from the start with a new cast. And sign the new actors to long contracts for the whole series, recasting the key protagonist or villain of a series midway is going to always ruin it

I remember going to see Secrets of Dumbledore in the cinema.

[@dracomaster4]

[@ChienaAvtzon]

What destroyed “Fantastic Beasts”, was poor marketing and WB wanting to turn a quick buck. It was unrealistic to think decent screenplays could have been written for a franchise that was scheduled to release an installment every other year. Especially, since novels are a completely different medium to films. On top of that the likes of Ezra Miller, Johnny Depp, and what’s-her-face-who-played-Tina should never have been cast. Miller is disgusting, Depp’s career was dead long before Amber Heard, and what’s-her-face cannot act. The rest of the cast was pretty good, and deserved to be in a better-written franchise. Especially, since there was tons of potential and the course correction proved such.

[@Sobeknjord]

Looking at it now, I think they lost the source of the original plot with introducing Grindelwald and Dumbledore in the 2nd movie which felt like it was taking over fantastic beasts premise (newt and his various creatures) and dumbledore’s story could have been another separate series, ending with either the defeat of Grindelwald or ending with him becoming a professor at Hogwarts. Honestly that is what I figured, that it would just be the entire textbook and the various wizarding creatures, Newt possibly traveling about documenting these creatures. Though I wondered how that would be done and wondered if they’d do a movie in Quidditch Through the Ages.

[@cameronporter5257]

I just view at as an article by The Quibbler, which is why things like Dumbledore teaching D.A.D.A instead of Transfiguration, and McGonagall being there are there. But to be honest, i think the First 12 Aurors of MACUSA or The Marauders would make for much better story imo

I like the "Arianna stole the Elder Wand" theory. Does anything Dumbledore say during Harry's death vision conversation indicate whether he *still* didn't know who cast the spell, or just that neither knew?

[@anderssanggaard6215]

Dumbledore never knew. In fact, it is strongly indicated that Dumbledore feared priory incantatum from a duel with Grindelwald, suggesting that his wand and the elder wand were brothers. Which also seems likely given that theres a good chance Antioch created the elder wand and that his brothers created wands simmilar to their brothers’ and that Dumbledore may have been a descendant of either cadmus or ignotus and thus couldve come to posses one of their wands.

[@MasterTMO]

@@anderssanggaard6215 Priori Incantatum can be cast without wands needing to be brothers. If I remember rightly, Barty Crouch Sr cast it on Harry's wand to prove it was the one that cast the Dark Mark after the World Quidditch match. This doesn't disprove your claim of the Elder Wand having a brother though.

[@victoriascholl4607]

[@minhajnizam5090]

[@SSJRadioBluth]

Had to rewatch start to finish in one go cause the first time i saw it in parts such a good video! Loved this series with no shame. JACOB Should have been the one the Qilin bowed too. Damnit ROWLING. But such a crazy tease was left. As Dumbledore is famous for discovering the twelve uses of a certain fantastic beast's blood that was yet to be highlighted... And we know he didn't spill that blood himself.... You seriously teased us with a dragon war with WW2 popping off right at the same time (they were in France for the Second film). Frustrated groan. But it is a series about Newt and there's three fantastic beasts in that book he isolated for the respect they carry and described it as beautiful and having a justified muggle press (implying our versions of flying on rainbows and shooting laser beams-magic from their horns are actually ACCURATE!!!!!). The other two have already been shown. Merpeople and Centaurs. What do they all have in common..... HOGWARTS. They really left us a wizarding war with dragons being murdered during WW2. And unicorns flying on rainbows and unleashing hell (i always thought that once Albus makes dragons his total B!!!) As Grindelwald would bust a Voldy and force wizards to either slaughter unicorns. Or just stand by as he uses them to finish his war. As no one would dare. Having put an army under an elder Wand powered Imperius Curse. The two most magical of beasts with direct ties to THE FIRST FILM. The companion book itself and with the potential to be the single biggest box office hit in WB history. After everyone and their mother watches a two minute trailer of WW2 wizards fighting alongside muggles as Grindelwald Burns the forests of Europe. (Actually happened) With what dragons he has left to reveal the habitats of Unicorns. A single tease of him gripping the elder wand as he points it at a unicorn. (We think he's gonna spill it's blood!) With Newt begging Dumbledore to act as he himself has had to kill unicorns to protect muggles. Feeling the weight of this innocent man betraying the things he loves because of the evil Gellert unleashed finally brings him to act.... Cut to a Grindelwald for the greater good. (As unicorns dive bomb into the middle of muggle battles, since Americans would be present the American, French, and British aurors all taking up arms would be canon. Introducing a bad ass Canadian auror would be cool for film iv). With the final shot tying it all back to The Philosopher's Stone as Dumbledore rides in on a Norwegian Ridgeback against an army of flying unicorns (the trailer would just show him). FANTASTIC BEASTS AND THE STICK OF DESTINY The actual scene would feature the many warriors of good aboard their own flying creature that they mastered, For example Theseus or Aberforth would totally make thestrals their B both witnessing their most beloved person die in front of them like Luna did but with actual combat experience! A winged horse. Bring back the Thunderbird! A Phoenix can carry several humans weight. But Newt has to be on a Hungarian Horntail the one he describes as the most dangerous. But not to him!!!!! The fourth one would be Love in The Time of Dragons like without question. 😂 THEY REALLY INTRODUCED DUMBLEDORE THE MASTER OF DRAGON BLOOD IN A SERIES ABOUT MAGICAL CREATURES AND NOT ONCE. NOT A SINGLE TIME. Referenced any dragons when he was present. Damnit Rowling. Damnit Yates. SOMEBODY PLEASE JUST EAT CROW call up Johnny. Kill Aurelius off screen. Nobody would mind at all. And just give us this dragon blood being spilled!!! And show us why Unicorns are mentioned as having earned their muggle mythical status. They almost introduced the Griffin too. (I mean why is that a part of Dumbledore's office!) A series about magical creatures that was clearly building up to be a bloody war epic that involved dragons, Unicorns - that has an additive note after the original 1927 publishing in the book; implying Newt witnessed something himself to confirm the muggle legends. And so far not yet seeing that in the two films after that date. Is blasphemy! A unicorn burning Grindelwald's original wand with golden fire after Dumbledore defeats him and still can't kill him but earns the Elder Wand's allegiance in that act of love. (Showing Dumbledore that power in it's full glory). Only confirmed by the unicorns intervening no longer under his mass Imperius curse. As Fawkes is present for a magic nobody else understood. (After Dumbledore's death). Since they actually go from gold to glowing white over the course of seven years. The most magical of numbers. Out of every dragon in the world Voldy chose that one and we know it's not the most powerful but what if it was the most notable! Like Dumbledore's dragon that he would adopt in the fourth film and ride into battle for the fifth. If only... Great video. Really glad I'm not the only one thinking about it. I only could think about the Albus, Gellert and Newt parts cause they kind of wrote about them already. Gonna rewatch it a third time just to picture their roles in the crazy war we'll never get.
