Hey everyone, welcome to Harry Potter theory. Because a new Fantastic Beasts film seems…Improbable at this point, today I’m going to be filling in the blanks, taking a look at those 13 long years (1932-1945) we may never get a chance to see on screen. I can only operate within the existing lore, so there’s certainly still going to be some missing information, but bare with me.

    Fantastic Beasts, while not as iconic as Harry Potter, deserves another chance
  • @ray101892
    Now we'll never know why Dumbledore went from wearing sharp, three piece suits and trench coats to gaudy, medieval era robes.
  • I'm still mad that they have stopped making these it leaves those who actually loved them feeling incomplete.
  • @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)

    My theory for Nagini is that once she finally transformed she slowly lost her mind due to her isolation and her snake like nature became stronger so by the time Voldemort came along there was very little of her left.
  • @kevinfeather3206
    I so wish J.K.Rowling would put pen to paper and write the entire series down in story form (not screen play) as I’d buy them and I’m sure a lot of fans of Harry Potter would as well.
  • @jazzgod21
    personally, i believe Albus found it it was his spell in a yet unseen battle with Grindelwald. When Harry mentions the Priori Incantatem, he instantly says "you saw your parents that night". He probably saw Arianna come from his wand in a duel with Grindelwald.
  • @debatable1984
    Replacing Johnny Depp because of allegations was the nail in the coffin.
  • @charabill4129
    Wow, your hypothesis about Ariana being the master of the wand (temporarily) is genius. Kudos for that.
  • @asmrshayla
    I hate unfinished stories. I sincerely hope they make 4 and 5 one day. Maybe the new Harry Potter series coming out will get the hype back up.
  • @dennist.8210
    While I don't see the need for 5 films, I do think it was unwise of them to not at least make one more and wrap it up showcasing the duel we've all wanted to see...
  • @AustynSN
    Rolf is the grandson, not son of Newt and Tina.
  • @noksuboy5365
    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. In the third installment, Mads Mikkelsen, who replaced him, also suggested handing back the role to Depp in the fourth installment following Johnny's trial victory.
  • @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.
  • @indiansfan444444
    Wait I think there is a mistake about Newt and Tina. You said they had a son named Rolf and he married Luna making them great-grandparents. But Rolf was their grandson not their son.
  • @gamezx
    The fantastic beasts story should have been another set of books first before they tried making films. Though it wouldnt do anywhere near as well for either medium at this point, its still not too late as its sadly the only real way we're gonna get a good ending for it. Plus honestly i'd take the chance to rewrite a few parts that really should have gone differently
  • @MRtehe3
    I will never get over how close we were to dumbledore vs grindlewald
  • @JohnDoe-yw2nq
    Packing the "Secrets of Dumbledore" into Fantastic Beasts was a horrible mistake. Albus Dumbledore, one of the most important and beloved characters that JKR created, should've gotten a film of his own with seriousness and proper story telling...
  • Why Tina had a drastically reduced role in Secrets: I think I read that actress Katherine contracted a prolonged case of COVID before production began, so Tina's role had to be rewritten By giving Bunty the bigger role and giving her Tina's role in the story.
