Surprise: 1. Nicole May and the Philosopher's Stone in his safe
2. One of Dumbledore's students, surnamed McLaggen, may be the grandfather of Cormac McLaggen, who competed with Ron for goalkeeping in HP Half-Blood Prince and later attended a slug party with Hermione.
3. The Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom and the locker Boggart are exactly the same as in the later hp movies
4. Grindelwald's last stronghold was also the prison where he was later imprisoned
5. One of the true owls flying around in the British Ministry of Magic left feces on the window as it flew through the camera
Chapter 7 of HP5: "That's a note for interdepartmental messaging," Mr. Weasley whispered to him, "It used to be an owl, but the mess was unbelievable... all over the desk. It's all feces..."
6. Rita Lestrange recalls the dung eggs mentioned in the past (it is a common operation to make trouble with dung eggs)
7. Newt used Bai Xian to treat the horse-shaped water monster. After HP7 Ron apparated to split, Hermione also used Bai Xian to heal him.
8. Newt and his party used Zuwu to escape from the French Ministry of Magic, which is exactly the same as HP7 Harry Potter and his party used the dragon to escape from Gringotts
Zou Wu comes from "Shan Hai Jing · Hai Nei Bei Jing": "Lin's country, there are rare beasts, as big as tigers, complete with five harvests and long tails.
9. Theseus, Newt's older brother, was a war hero. In other words, at this time, wars have broken out in the wizarding world in recent years. Maybe it will be mentioned later. I guess it may be related to the 1912 Goblin Rebellion?
10. Père Lachaise Cemetery. Chopin, Wilde, Proust, Balzac...and the Commune Warrior Wall, the Battle of Grindelwald is known to allude to World War II
11. Grindelwald's blue flame circle in the cemetery may be the same circle that Dumbledore used to limit the age of contestants in HP4. The same blue flame can play a role in distinguishing the crowd.
12. The head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is the head of the group of people who went to Hogwarts to house Dumbledore, surnamed Travers. The surname belonged to a pure-blood family, and the descendants also had Travers, the dark wizard at the heart of Voldemort's Death Eaters. This department houses the Auror Office, the Misuse of Magic Division, the Wizengamore Governing Body (director Travers is also a member of the Wizengamore), and the Misuse of Muggle Objects Division (formerly Arthur Weasley's Department). Later directors were some of the more familiar faces: old Barty Crouch (killed after going mad), Amelia Burns (eaten by Nagini after Voldemort rose), Rufus Scrimgeour (later raised to Minister of Magic, tortured before his death), Pierce Hinckness (who joined the Death Eaters under the Imperius), and Harry Potter.
13. The woman next to Grindelwald was named Rozier, also a Death Eater.
14. The Lestrange family goes without saying. Unforgivable curse and sister killing brother is a fine tradition of this family
15. Interesting class about Boggart. "Funny!"
16. Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers can only serve as a one-year stalker
17. Albus Dumbledore and Grindelwald's lingering blood curse in their youth in the Mirror of Erised and their encounter in middle age
18. "Do you think Dumbledore will mourn for you" This sentence is different from what was said in the trailer. It is full of vinegar, and it is also transcribed and ridiculed, which is poisonous.
19. Rita's bravery and recklessness, the cynicism of several Gryffindor students in her memories, the attributes of the four academies are no longer "fixed and unique". For Rowling's writing subject, it's a brilliant character. No one can be limited by an imposed or born identity, and their life depends on every choice they make. This is what Rowling has repeatedly emphasized in HP.
20. The British Ministry of Magic, as always, will only do a disservice and doubt Dumbledore
21. Nagini is really beautiful and strong, the three views are positive and fragile, and the character image is very three-dimensional
22. Albus is bald in middle age and has thick hair in old age. The Potters Invented Hair Growth Potion (Fantastic Beasts 1), and I seem to understand something
23. Depp's acting skills are online, and he seems to have lost some weight. I won't call him a big pineapple anymore (please ask the stylist to change his hairstyle)
doubt:
1. Who is Professor McGonagall who appears in Rita's memories?
①Minerva McGonagall herself.
This seems to be different from the previous official Minerva McGonagall age. Pottermore has her biography, here are some key passages:
Minerva McGonagall was the eldest and only daughter. His father is a priest from the Presbyterian Church in Scotland, and his mother is a witch who graduated from Hogwarts. She grew up in the Scottish Highlands in the early twentieth century .
Minerva will never forget how many times her mother cried when she received her Hogwarts acceptance letter on her eleventh birthday .
After graduating from Hogwarts , Minerva was offered a position at the Ministry of Magic (Department of Enforcement of Magical Laws). She returned to the vicarage for her last summer break with her family before leaving for London. These few months have been one of the toughest of Minerva's life, because at the age of eighteen , Minerva repeats her mother's mistakes and falls madly in love with a Muggle boy.
After two years at the Ministry of Magic , she finally got a nice promotion, but she turned it down. She sent an owl to Hogwarts to ask if she could be considered for teaching. Within a few hours Owl brought back the letter, offering her a job in the Transfiguration department, whose head was none other than Albus Dumbledore.
HP, Order of the Phoenix (1995):
"How long have you been teaching at Hogwarts?" asked Professor Umbridge.
"It will be thirty-nine years in December of this year." Professor McGonagall replied bluntly, closing the bag with a snap.
It can be seen from the above that Minerva taught for 39 years in 1995, joined Hogwarts in 1956, graduated at the age of 18 in 1953 and worked at the Ministry of Magic, entered school in 11 years in 1946, and was born in 1935. All her experiences from birth to teaching have accurate year-month intervals.
The story background of Fantastic Beasts 2 is set in 1927, and Minerva has not yet been born, let alone become a professor when Rita was in school (before 1927).
Someone tried to prove that Minerva had been teaching at Hogwarts during World War I, at least until 1945: (The Muggle he liked was engaged to someone else) Late that night , Albus Dumbledore found Miller The baby was in tears in her classroom, and she told Dumbledore the whole story. In addition to comforting her, Dumbledore taught her some wisdom and told Minerva his family history, a story she had never heard before. That night, the two extremely private and guarded people exchanged their secrets and laid the foundation for their long-lasting mutual respect and friendship. In 1945, when Albus Dumbledore decided to challenge and defeat the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, only a very small number of people could understand how much fear he experienced, and Minerva McGonagall was one of them.
But "late that night" didn't have to be before 1945. It is completely understandable that Minerva understood Dumbledore's 1945 fears through heart-to-heart talk after 1945.
②Minerva McGonagall's mother
Could it be that the mother and daughter have the same name? This is also not possible. Because her mother wasn't named Minerva, but Isabelle. And Isabel has been a housewife since her marriage. Even her husband doesn't know she is a witch, so how could she teach at Hogwarts?
③ Relatives of Minerva McGonagall's father
Her father is a Muggle.
④ Guess
"The birth of their first child, Minerva, plunged the family into joy and crisis. Isabel, who misses her original family and the magical world she gave up for love, insisted on naming her newborn daughter Miller. Baby in memory of her own grandmother, a powerful witch." Maybe Isabelle has other sisters who also happen to be married to someone named McGonagall who also happens to be named after Minerva in honor of her grandmother...
2. Was Credence Dumbledore's younger brother?
I don't think so. If Credence was one of the two babies to be replaced, at least his age was similar to that of Rita's younger brother, otherwise the half-elf servant would not be invisible after disembarking safely.
Because Rita and Newt were in the same classroom for Defence Against the Dark Arts classes, they must have been born in 1897, like Newt. The official date of the shipwreck is 1901, when Rita was 4 years old. Her brother will never be more than a year old, will he? Zelita's younger brother was first born in 1900.
We all know that Dumbledore's mother died in an explosion when Ariana was 14 years old. In the same year, Albus graduated (according to HP7, he was planning a graduation trip, and suddenly came the bad news of his mother's death), Albus was 18 years old. Albus was born in 1881 and his mother died in June 1899. How to have another child?
So is it the half-brother of Dumbledore's jailed father? Hmm... a prisoner in Azkaban gave birth to a child in prison? Can you bring it out? Could it be that his father escaped, like little Crouch? It's not impossible, but it always feels a bit far-fetched. From my personal point of view, I cannot accept this setting. If it is a close relative, there has never been a sign in the Harry Potter period. If it is only a distant relative, the setting is too arbitrary.
I think the claim that Credence is a Dumbledore is just something Grindelwald used to deceive and appease the kid. Otherwise, wouldn't the Lestrange family be the last, and where did the Lestrange family in HP come from?
3. Some Tucao points
①I think it's acceptable for wizards who often come and go in the Muggle world to wear suits, but why don't they wear magic robes at Hogwarts? There was no difference in what Muggles wore more than half a century ago, and HP didn't understand what Muggles wore? (HP1, HP4)
②Why do you see house-elves cleaning windows at the Ministry of Magic? The elf at Hogwarts never shows up, Dobby said.
③ Hogwarts cannot Apparate
④ "Sniff Sniff Flying" After Fantastic Beasts 1, some audience asked why Newt didn't directly use the Flying Curse to retrieve the animal. Rowling replied that the Flying Curse was too fast and close to the speed of light, which would damage the creature. But in this movie, Newt used the Flying Charm on Sniffers many times.
⑤ The story of Rita was explained very briefly. I thought she was an important character, but I didn't understand anything, why she married her brother, why she was excluded... and died. But maybe the next one will mention
⑥ Nicole May tangled for a long time: I hadn’t done anything for two hundred years, but I came out and shouted a slogan? I thought there would be hundreds of rounds of spells, but ended up watching a fireworks show
⑦When Credence casts on Grindelwald, Tina didn't react at all to a scene. Wasn't she the only one who could appease him in the first part? When Queenie threw at Grindelwald, Tina had nothing. The whole movie of the two sisters without rival scenes is also great
⑧ Who is the woman who talks to Nicole May?
In general, the story of "Fantastic Beasts 2" has a sense of connection between the past and the future, which makes people feel that there is a feeling of unfinished business in terms of conflict and ending. Interspersed with various Harry Potter eggs, the special effects are very good, but the plot is a bit bad and messy.
