Then the wand would be Goldstein's now. We saw that when Harry stole Malfoy's wand, it transferred to Harry even though Malloy didn't have it.


This is a very good point. Then I guess it was either an oversight on the movie's part, or Grindlewald will disarm/defeat Goldstein at a later date. Let's not forget that Harry probably learned more about wandlore than anyone else during the 7th book. So Grindlewald probably doesn't really understand how it works (Voldemort didn't).

I think we all can at least agree that the Niffler was awesome

That little dude had me cracking up.

Haven't seen anyone mention the picture of La Strange (sp) that Newt had. Where do ya'll think that leads?

As of now, I'm thinking she was the student that was harmed or probably killed by whatever creature got him expelled from Hogwarts.

Just look at how ridiculously stupid the rules to Quiddich are


I am a huge fan of the books, but this drove me crazy also. You have all theses people doing a whole bunch of shite that scores a few points here and there. This all becomes pretty much irrelevant when the seeker catches the snitch for 150 points and ending the match. Which also means if your team is down by more than 150 and you catch the snitch you seal your teams defeat. WTF. It's like a football team playing for 3 hours only to have the kicker come out and win with a 100 point field goal making the previous 3 hours irrelevant.

Unless you're the Irish. You win even though you don't catch the snitch.

Correct, but this goes back to my point that the other team caught the snitch which sealed their defeat. I don't think Rowling understands how sports work.

This is true. Though, I'm sure it got to a point Krump couldn't keep the Irish from catching it any longer trying to let his team get back in it.

There are a lot of issues with their world. I mean, don't even get me started on their economy

Why do you think it was terrible? Were you confused? Did you not know you were watching a fantasy film? Did you watch/like Harry Potter?


I just thought it was long, drawn out, and boring. They chased animals around for the majority of the movie. I find the TV show The Magicians is better written and more entertaining.

I thought the Johnny Deep cameo what the most entertaining part.

You realize the movie is called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, right?

Fair enough. To each their own. That was just a funny comment.


I would have really liked that Saving Private Ryan movie more if they didn't spend so much time trying to rescue Matt Damon.

That did sound kind of dumb.

I just expected more action and for it to be more exciting. That said, I do expect the sequel to be more of what I was looking for.

Read something today that said she will be a big part of the sequel, and that she is a bit of a tragic character. I guess they are setting up a love triangle with Newt, her and Goldstein

My problem with quidditch is the score. Why increments of 10?!??!? Why not just 1 point per score and 15 points for the snitch?!???? It's retarded.

I didn't dislike her character, I thought she was great, just her having reached the classification of Auror.

I think that not all Auror's are Law Enforcement. She may have been more of a social worker auror. Like finding abused children wizards, which explains why she was at the Barebone house.

Also, it would be interesting if Grindelwald did have the Elder Wand and now Tina is the rightful owner since she's the one that disarmed him.

Why didn't Grindlewald kill Newt when he had the chance? Why did it not seem like he was interested in killing anyone.

He's not necessarily evil. He doesn't want to kill everyone and take over the world (Voldemort). What he wants is to bring the magical community out of hiding. The problem is that he wants to do it by way of war with the NoMages. (Did anyone else hear NoVag when they first said it?)

My wife and I are literally in a fight about it because I wouldn't stop saying it in the movie. He has the hair, the attitude, the approval from Dumbledore. His background is mysterious, he "saw a girl go through" the same stuff the guy in the movie went theough trying not to use magic.

I think you've been watching too much Westworld.


Eta: And the soundtrack was absolutely fantastic.
