Professor McGonagall then and now 😻  

Oh wow

😅👌

i mean wizards have been shown living over 130+ years so

Wizards live for much longer. Dumbledore was born in ‘81. By which I mean 1881

It’s not supposed to be Minerva McGonagall - the writers of this mixed up the name. It’s Minerva Ross - her grandmother. It’s not even Bellatrix L’estrange - it’s **Leta** L’estrange (Bellatrix was **Bellatrix Black** her maiden name (before marriage). Her name was changed to L’estrange when she got married - as an adult. This whole video is a mistake. These were different people who lived at different times

It's her great-grandmother, which was also called Minerva

@@simonleonard4084 lmao nope, the McGonagall in Fantastic Beasts is way too young to be her great-grandmother; also Minerva McGonagall's father Robert McGonagall is a Muggle, so great-grandma Minerva, being a witch, cannot have the surname McGonagall

@@theanonymouscommenter3035 that make sense indeed. I've been reading about this a few hours back, that match with your saying. Guess the initial idea comes from a berry bad article somewhere on the internet

witches and wizards have a longer life expectancy than Muggles, usually living two or three times as long; in the new canon she was born 8-9 years after Dumbledore, who was born in 1881

We need this kind of comment writters in every comment section 😂to clarify things

Agreed, except one little thing. "Bella's name at that time was Bellatrix Black" is not correct either, her grandparents were barely alive when CoG is played so she wasn't even an idea at that time. But it was, indeed, her birth name which changed when marrying Rodolphus Lestrange.

@@hungariangiraffe6361 I kind of meant that Black would've been her name when she was in school, but I get what you mean and that it was probably confusing😊

Fantastic beasts 1 was okay as a tangentially related film. The others are poorly executed, nonsensical films

She did have a time turner. Idk how far back those things can go tho. Still seems like it’s hard to work that cameo into canon.

Running theory is that she time travelled for some reason lol, but of course the real life reason was prob bc they wanted to put in the cameo 😂

That is a really bad theory 🤣

i think its a correct timeline for Mcgonagal, the wrong one is Newt

@@KumaLynx-mj9cz no need to be condescending

Its not minerva McGonagall Its just McGonagall That means she is ancestor of minerva

​@@nikkinishi648 That can't also be it, because Minerva is a half blood witch and her last name comes from her father, who was a muggle. So that must be a witch unrelated to her.

@@sailspo ok But there is a chance that minerva's father is a squib or at least son of a squib. Hence he was considered muggle, but his ancestors might be wizards. Not saying that its definate, just my theory. Anybody's welcome to contradict

@@nikkinishi648 Squibs are never considered muggles by magic folk. a squib is a squib. Some may try to integrate into muggle society and live as a muggle, but to wizardkind, they will always be squibs. They didn't treat Mrs. Fig or Mr. Filch as muggles. Even though Mrs' Fig lived with muggles, as a muggle for nearly 15 years.

True. However, I thought the voice impression was spot on! Specifically on that second “Lestrange!”

Yeah I thought so too

@@kyuthatsmereally? I didn’t think so at all.

true but she was presumably also much younger and new to teaching

Well it wasn’t her

I always assumed she was someone from her family, like her aunt or something

In magic world is like a dog year. Nah, I made that up.

Maybe she's like Dumbledore. I don't know, but really that movie is full of plot holes and terrible stuff

Apparently it's supposed to be her grandmother, but they got her last name wrong... McGonagall's paternal side had Muggles

Omg so this McGonagall first year at hogwarts?! Little professor McGonagall

This can't be Bellatrix, it's long before her birth. Makes more sense if it is someone different entirely. Doesn't even look like her.

@@jm2270 Hmmm yeah ig

They are talking about Leta Lestrange, Newt Scamandar's friend and classmate. What doesn't make sense is professor McGonagal teaching before being born

@@milenalukic5183 I'm sorry.....BUT HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE????? Rowling explain!!!

@Gaint Turnip from quick google search: Minerva McGonagall was born on the outskirts of Caithness in the Scottish Highlands, on 4 October, 1935 to Robert McGonagall, a Muggle Presbyterian minister, and his wife, Isobel Ross, a witch. And Newt purchased his first wand, likely from Ollivanders, and was sorted into Hufflepuff on 1 September 1908. Or if google isn't a good source and you want Rowling herself in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, McGonagall tells Umbridge that, come December, she will have been teaching at Hogwarts for 39 years which happens in 1995 which means she started teaching in 1956. And Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie is set in 1920s New York, which would mean the whole plot of the movies happens before McGonagall could have been born.

The surname McGonagall comes from her paternal family, where they’re all Muggles.

There is a theory that she was using a time turner. Although since the movies were canceled I guess it will never be confirmed.

the girl with the sealed mouth is gryffindor, you can see the red/gold on her tie the first time she pops up

Leta was Slytherin, not the girl who she hexed.

Tbh she deserved that one

I think she just understood that this seal was a fair punishment for the things she said to Leta🤷🏻‍♀️

Sealing children's mouth isn't transfiguration, so...

Nah theyre the same characters. As much as everyone hates it.

​@@raylop80731 what's the proof that they're the same character?

@@tofuisawesome their names are the same. And the writers confirmed it? Im amazed anyone thinks they arent the same.

​@@raylop80731 Because everyone who read the books know that she got her last name from her muggle father. Therefore the answer is no.

​@@potatoe7436 but it's a curse, not transfiguration related maybe

Nope its from Fantastic Beasts. It did get messed up tho, because that was Minerva Ross, McGonagall's grandmother on her mom's side. Her dad was a muggle

​​@@LilyEvans0130 Oh, so...Why is Mccgonagall her last name on these films?

​@@SiriusBlackswife444 do you not know the definition of the phrase "it did get messed up though"? That's why the name inconsistency..."it got messed up".

Probably because Mcgonagall was 11y old at this time

Now we know why McGonagall had that time turner she gave Hermione. Minerva McGonagall has taught at Hogwarts since its inception.

where did you take that year from? only thing I know, she was born on 4. october in the early 20th century.

This might be Miss McGonagall daughter of Mr and Mrs Mcgonagall they also have a son who marries giving you Mirs McGonagall again You can repeat this as many times as you want just keep on producing a son the woman will take his name so if it's still not up to date just do it again until it matches the timeline

​@@_Ai_Angel minerva mcgonagall's father is canonically a muggle. her parents' failed marriage after her dad finds out her mom's a witch is one of the reasons why minerva rejects a proposal from a muggle man she loved.

You know movies. They wanna bring back famous characters and stuff new characters are no fun haha. You saw the build up to young Dumbledore and his face reveal.

That’s more like the silencing charm so technically not a transfiguration

@@crazybanana5089 true, but Oscousy is a dark charm, a lot different than the Mimblewimble spell, she pretty much just took the girl’s mouth sealed.

"That's Not Fair!"

I am more keen on believing that Newt, in his late years, has found ways to prolong his life. Magical creatures bear powerful and rare magical abilities which could be harnessed by a master in this kind such as Newt Scamander. Also, in the Harry Potter universe, Newt is like a big name, I wouldn't be surprised if he, too, had access to some philosopher's candy himself, either directly or through Dumbledore.

It is not different character

It’s not Bella, it’s Leta Lestrange… I believe they’re cousins

@@stephanievazquez4384 Bellatrix married into the Lestrange family, her Maiden name is Black, she is Sirius's cousin and Tonks aunty.

@@thefracturedbutwhole5475 I know, I got a little confused for a sec but realized my mistake. I was just too lazy to change it 😅 it still makes them cousins tho, just cousins by marriage.

If we go with legacy, that should be Mrs. Ross. Minerva's mother's maiden name is Ross, Isobel Ross.

It's a wrong family name. That's Minerva Ross, Minerva's grandmother. Dumbledore did mention her by name in the movie. JK wrote the screenplay like a novel. The filmmakers don't understand it. So... Everyone let's just go with familiar name and call it a day. No explanation needed & let's just see the world burn.
