You'd think that the wizarding world (in Harry Potter) would have wanted to stop World War 2. It's weird that they didn't consider that Grindelwald ACTUALLY HAD A POINT.
@@bobthet-rex2718 I was actually willing to side with Grindelwald before he floated the possibility of killing millions of people. And, I'd go further than that and say that GRINDELWALD was the rational one.
As far as I can remember, it was in Harry Potter that Grindelwald was behind Hitler in the first place. I could be wrong, but as far as I remember it was mentioned somewhere.
@Dirk-Ulrich Heise Not really. Just that he had wizards to help him indoctrinate an entire nation and maybe even provide some ideas. After all, the number of people that died during the WWII would've played into Grindelwalds plan to 'exterminate' as many muggles as possible in a short amount of time. Think of him as more of a willing pawn...if he wasn't being controlled that is...the world will never know.
>Hogwarts did not always have bathrooms The entire plot of the chamber of secrets is that one of the founders of hogwarts had created a secret chamber in a bathroom when he created the school, so he could shove his snake in there
The worst part about it truly is that Anthony Goldstein wasn't even a spur of the moment lapse of judgment - the guy actually existed since book 1 and it's just how Rowling names people... ofc we knew that since Cho Chang, but yeah.
Imagine if a series called "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was actually about fantastic beasts, and perhaps even where to find them. Seriously all they had to do was a magical nature documentary.
That's what I was expecting to see when I watched the first movie. The book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was just fictional textbook on magical animals.
especially as she announced the location of other wizarding schools around that time, thought newt would travel the world finding and researching magical creatures while interacting with different wizarding cultures.
@world leader It doesn't matter what excuse you use. One could say "biology isn't bigotry" to justify racial segregation or any other blatant discrimination. Nobody's falling for it.
imagine if we had a gag series where Newt is like Steve Irwin going around showing us animals in the wizarding world and he is collecting information for his book. so much wasted potential lol
The funniest part about the “was there ever a *insert nationality* character” joke is the fact that the token Chinese character was named Cho Chang and the Irish character was named Seamus Finnegan
Have you seen a very potter musical? Cho Chang, Domo arigato! Cho Chang, Gung Hey Fat Choy, Chang! Happy Happy New Year, Cho Chang! [DIALOGUE] Ginny: Who's that? Ron: That's Cho Chang-that's the girl Harry's totally been in love with, since freshman year. Hermione: Yeah, but he won't say anything to her. Ron: Yeah, you never tell a girl you like her, it makes you look like an idiot! Ginny: Konnichiwa, Cho Chang. It is good to meet you. I am Ginny Weasley. Lavender: Bitch, I ain't Cho Chang! Ron: That's Lavender Brown! Racist sister! *Ron claps his hands in front of Ginny's face to scare her* Cho: That's alright! I'm Cho Chang y'all.
@@pakito546 That was like: J.K : " Then jacob comes in and ..." Some randome guy who actually knows the story: "Yeah but didnt he forget evrything?" J.K : "Ah yeah, no problem he didnt forget anything" Some randome guy who actually knows the story: "Wait... WHAT???!"
The problem with Rowling is, because she obviously never had a plan for the HP series and universe, she makes her plan up as she goes along and it shows in the bad worldbuilding overall. It has shown in plotholes in the HP series and ,more damning, in the fantasic beasts series.
Another continuity error is making Dumbledore the DADA teacher. He wasn't. He was the Transfiguration teacher before he became Headmaster after Dippet dipped out. IDK, just a small thing that really pisses me off
This is written by JK Rowling as well. The author herself forgot about her own book lol. Like, I get it if she can't remember details like that because of how much material there is to commit to memory, but at that point just do what George R.R. Martin does. He hires a group of dedicated fans who will proofread whatever he's working on so that they can point out any small details that may contradict his previous books.
Going off movie continuity alone, Dumbledore seems much older in Tom Riddle's memory than he does here, so he _could_ have changed his position for whatever reason. Weak explanation I know but still
Wait, if wizards just didn't have plumbing till the 18th century when plumbing was invented by muggles how did Salazar Slytherin utilize the plumbing system to lead to his secret chamber? Also, they just went wherever they stood? Nobody ever thought to step outside, or utilize the chamber pots that absolutely existed in those days?
As someone who recently googled the plot of Cursed Child lately and almost died from laughing, I think its relevant to mention that Cursed Child does NOT save Cedric Diggory via time travel, because actually turns out if Cedric had lived he would have felt humiliated about losing the tournament to a fourteen year old, and been so angry about it that he joined the Death Eaters and tried to kill Harry, with his involvement ensuring that Voldemort won the war. Also the whole thing was never actually about Cedric, it was Voldemort and Bellatrix's secret love child PRETENDING to be Cedric Diggory's cousin to kickstart the time travel nonsense with the goal of saving Voldemort's life and as a result preventing the massive amount of angst that comes from having been orphaned as a newborn. The only reason she knows about her real parents is because Bellatrix's actual husband was released from Azkaban and was weirdly really okay with his wife having cheated on him and had a child with someone else, so he happily informed her of her true heritage. They met exactly once when she was a young adult. This motivated her to dedicate her entire life to trying to rescue her father with time travel. I just find this all to be relevant information; if I have to know this shit, so does everyone else.
@@laladylann lol it's weird though that I understand all that. I've read the cursed child I pray they don't make a movie let's just say it was 'interesting' 😅
It reads like bad fanfiction, and I've read so many better ones, one of my favourites being one where Tom riddle magically ends up in the 21st century. The play is ridiculous.
I love the fact this accurate description spares even the worse details, like Harry being an ass to everyone for no reason at all, everyone believing Draco went back in time with her wife to have her being impregnated by Voldemort ( and I mean everyone, the Aurors investigate that shit ), or that Ron is made especially incompetent because of course the writers are Harry and Hermione shippers so they have to make both of them cheaters because that's integrity from heroes for you.
I'm honestly stunned that a published author can't come forward and say "I know I said Hermione is white in the books, the jackets for the books show her as being white, and I picked a white actress to play her in the movies, but I'm fine with a black actress playing her in the show so long as she's a good actress" or "Hogwarts takes in students from across the UK and Ireland so there's students of every major religion in attendance" And instead feels the need to retcon her own work to shoehorn in diversity she didn't add before, or pull some stereotypical name out of a hat and claim they're the token (minority) character
Sounds like she doesn't do it with content. i felt it was someone came to her backdoor and gave ultimatum to her to made it diverse or they would cut her funding. Which you could see at the end, very half-ass with.
Actually there were Ugandon students at Hogwarts. The largest wizarding school in the wizarding world is the one in Uganda which is called Uagado. They don't use wands in that part of the world, so they all can spellcast without them. Because transfer students are a thing, Uagado students can transfer to Hogwarts and vice versa. There's actually a character you meet in Hogwarts Legacy named Natty who is a transfer student from Uagado. Her mother was invited to be the new Divination professor at Hogwarts, so they both moved to Scotland.
@@Rebecca_2004Personally I think the story itself is a bit bare bones but I would agree that the characters are very unique and interesting. Especially all the professors! I think they did an excellent job of coming up with very interesting and captivating professors that are on par with the professors in the books.
I'm still so utterly baffled by JK's response to the question of "are there jewish kids at hogwarts?" Instead of just going with the obvious, "Hogwarts teaches every magical kid in the British Isles. Of course there's jewish students." She just goes, "you get one."
Some people flourish on Twitter in a bad way. Rowling and Trump immediately come to mind. They aren’t terribly different. I think you’re right, Bleeding Masque-narcissism.
Honestly, the single most interesting film series they could make in the Wizarding World is “Hogwarts, A History,” where we actually see the four founding wizards and follow them through whatever conflicts they went through to establish the school. Maybe we could see Salazar Slytherin’s character start out as an ambitious but noble wizard and follow him as he descends into his obsession with wizard blood purity. THAT would have been interesting. I can even imagine what the cast might look like. Maybe Sean Bean as Godrick Gryffindor, Michael Fassbender as Salazar Slytherin, maybe Tilda Swinton as Rowena Ravenclaw, and someone like Natalie Dormer as Helga Hufflepuff. But no. We got Newt Scamander somehow following the weird drama between Dumbledore and Grindewald. Perfect.
Robbie Reijman dude do you need a hug or something? That’s not even what the word baby means but let’s forget that for now. What’s wrong man? Are you having a bad week?
Patrick Dy she probably didn’t because as we all know a mothers love can deflect a killing curse but I like to think she did do it and that’s why he gets his second in command to do the killing so if the mother loved the baby a prophecy would’ve said the baby grows up to kill his second in command
Queenie was a charming, sweet, almost "Bewitched" type of character, second movie, no background whatsoever she's an obsessive toxic girl, worst part is if that was it and she learned to respect jacob's space by the end it would've been more or less ok, but instead they made her a magical Hitler follower (which is weird because Grindelwald sees muggles as lesser beings and she wants to marry one) she trusts not only the man himself but his girl follower that helped her in the rain, completely forgetting she can read minds and even worse by the ending scene she's a fully fledged Grindelwald groupie and even in the trailers fir the next movie appears as a regular evil wizard, they completely ruined the sweet character that was presented in the first movie, like her beloved sister, an AUROR is less important to her now than Grindelwald for some reason
Not to mention she's a Jew, Rowling made a Jewish character side with a magical Hitler. Same shit Marvel did with Wanda siding with Ultron like I swear people don't think.
When I read that Hogworts wasn't the only wizarding school, I wanted to know what other wizarding schools there were. Boy oh boy, I was so disappointed when I realised that she only created one school for one continent. As an Asian, its even more infuriating to know that she created one school for the whole East Asia and Southeast Asia region! One school for the world's most populous region? And the smallest school of them all! I guess she would say East Asian wizards prefer to send their children to Hogworts to plug this hole.
@@lila709 You are right. I checked the official website for HP Wizarding World (WW), Rowling mentioned that most schools are obscure and most wizards are home schooled. I applaud her effort for being inclusive, but her lack of understanding of other cultures (especially non-European ones) make it look more like a cover-up than a genuine gesture. It's OK for leaving gaps in areas that she is not familiar with. Just because she created the world doesn't mean she has to fill in every blank. The tricky part of being inclusive without knowing extensively the culture and people you want to talk about will offend them more so than excluding them. It's a series of books with characters featuring British teenagers and the setting is British school life, most people will understand that not everything they read applies to them. And everything was good before the "revision" and extra "do-you-knows" that just don't work.
you must be living a pampered life with nothing noteable going on if one fictitious world is upsetting you this much. get a grip lol, the world is not ending..
Respectfully, I don't think this point is valid. First of all, Grindelwald was proposing that they kill about 2 billion muggles to prevent the murder of 6 million in the holocaust, without actually saying that to his followers, which is a classic manipulative villain mastermind plan. Secondly, he has lied countless times in the trilogy, to Credence, to his followers etc. He literally lies in that very same scene when he says he's not a violent person. So when he claims that he's trying to stop WWII, to me it seems like the audience would realistically dismiss that as another lie to gain support from the hundreds of potential followers he could get from that room.
I don't like JK Rowling but Anthony Goldstein is in the books lol. Weird thing not to fact check. He was in Dumbledore's army. I agree with everything else you've said, just wanted to point that one out.
Yeah...it was bigoted when she wrote it. Weird you're jerking off about whether or not the bigotry was in the books but I guess we all have our priorities.
Another stupid explanation says, it wasn't barred by a bathroom at 1st, but later bathrooms were made on top of it. Problem. > who engraved the snake on the tap?
As a zookeeper in real life, I too would resent being forced into working for Interpol against my will in a situation I have no relevant skills for. I already really didn’t like the film, but Newt caving and joining the fight just extra rubs me the wrong way. I hate the magic and real nazis as much as anyone if not more, but I’m low on the necessary skills to fight them directly. Let us be with the animals!
I liked the first one a lot too. There was another RU-vidr that made a whole video essay about Newt Scamander's kindness and how it's a counter to typically hyper masculinity that main male characters tend to fall into.
That's exactly why I liked Newt in the first movie. He honestly reminded me of the Doctor from Doctor Who a lot, like I could see Eddie Radmayne as playing a really good version of the Doctor
I would not be surprised if that was the new canon. Especially since Harry having part of Voldemort's soul would kinda make the whole thing incest which JK probably sees as progressive :P
Sorry but Hagrid's mother was a single mother, so she's probably a lesbian. That's why in Harry Potter 7 Aurelius did not went to Nagani and said: "Let's have tea"
Okay this was funny the first few times but now its just an excuse for people to be asshats about """political correctness""" or as it should be called. Not being an asshat
@@8393Robertrex You have to complain about political correctness. And you have to do it with a joke, cuz otherwise everyone calls you a racist. Why do we have to complain? Well... crazy example: Nazis said f.e jewish people are different, so they treated them diffrently. Politicians say everyone is equal, but they treat everyone differently. So now ask yourself: Who is worse? The one that attacks you from the front or the one who stabs you in your back
One of the main problems I have with Harry Potter is the overload of magical elements. And yes, magic is the center of the Wizarding World, but when you introduce too many of those things, people will start saying, “Well, why didn’t they just apparate or use Floo powder? Why didn’t they just read Grindelwald’s mind, etc.” You can add magical elements into your fantasy world but set limits so it doesn’t have people asking questions.
But maybe Gellert just can defend from legilimency so well. Also in the 1rst movie we can see that those nameless MACUSA folks who disarmed Gellert were in fact his followers. Otherwise why would they dramatocally stop so as to let Gellert have his last word with Newt? How else would Gellert's followers knew the track of testral carriage that goes to Azkaban? First movie was very well written.
No one: JK: The Sorting Hat was previously a man named Hatteus Sorte who was locked in Azkaban for being a paedophile but was released by Dumbledore to satisfy his repressed desire for Grindelwald in exchange for being transfigured into a hat once per year in order to touch young children's heads.
@@romitkumar6272 no, you definitely need to read more fan fictions like the mature over 10,000 words ones and not the crap you were reading before go read the really dark stuff those are pretty good and not boring and cliché I can recommend a few but you have to be + 18
TBF we're just lucky Rowling didn't call her "Ching Chong Bing Bong" and then gasp and need her smelling salts when we all pointed out how racist that was.
@@mnschoenAt the same time it is a book for kids with cartoon logic. Naruto also isn't a real name yet Japanese don't feel offended by it. Coz guess what? It is their own production. They sure have a lot of fun thinking Americans think it is a real name when it is actually just a name for rice cookie. Do you think there were cases of Americans naming their kids Naruto?
First of all, how surprised are we given Harry Potter was a mediocre magician who defeated the worst dark lord history had seen. Also, it’s specified that Newt Scamander is a very gifted magic user who is also very intelligent, and he’s good friends with Dumbledore and his brother is one is a big deal in the security department. Way more believable than Harry Potter.
These creatures were actually incredibly powerful. Bite of Billywig (blue beatle from1rst movie) makes one levitate, Thunderbird can cause a storm, Demiguise is invisible and can see fututure 1 minute ahead. You could do a lot with it provided you are creative. But WB recently just isn't. They made some really questionable decisions like firing Johny Depp from 2nd movie just because of gossips and not making Henry Cavill Superman
professor X: what´s your power? J.K Rowling: I can rewrite the past of fictional characters. gay professor X: Interesting Credits to the unknown creator of this joke. Thank you for making us laugh so much.
I'm sorry, is this a defense? She dropped in a stereotypically named Jewish kid in TWO lines in a seven-book series. At that point WTF is the point? That's not a character. That's a racist Jewish insert. That's a name, not a character.
Just a quick thing I'd like to add: Nagini in the movies is portrayed as a reticulates python, which naturally lives in India and southeast Asia. So I think if they really had to turn her into a human, it was kind of a wasted potential that they didn't cast ex. an indian or thai person to play her. Not to mention the fact that the name Nagini also comes from indian.
@@denzelnganga1914 Yeah... I mean fine and dandy to have differences n Stuff, but then.....DO IT FROM THE BEGINNING. Hermione is hella white, or why did she choosed Emma to play her, when all the other Charakters "of ethinicty" where played by the correkt Actor as far as Im aware. (Cho, Dean, - dont know if the Books mentioned the Patiltwins beeing Indian tho - etc.) Even the Bookcovers depicted her as White oLo I dont know... Harry Potter was never about this. I can buy the Gay-Dumbledore stuff, its nice and I saw hints in the Book, but that Hermione is suddenly someone completely different.. No.
@@Kairos_Akuma This is exactly how I feel about it. She even retcons her retcons...I'm sure that when she first said about Dumbledore being gay, it was that he loved Grindleward and followed him at first due to that, but Grindleward just used those feelings without feeling the same way. Now it's "an intense sexual relationship"... That and the books weren't exactly lacking diversity to begin with, as you mentioned. (I don't think it was mentioned that the Patil twins were Indian but it was hella obvious from the names alone. I picked that up as a bloody Australian kid.)
@@TheDemocrab I understand the angle where good friends diverge from their path and one become evil while the other choose to be good. I was dead sure it will be a tale where Dumbledore have unrequited feelings for Grindelwald, and Grindelwald still treat Dumbledore as a friend and both want to pull each other to their sides. I can accept that.. But intense sexual relationship..... Like how does this enhance the story? I'm reading a story about good vs evil not 50 shades of grey. Their sex life doesn't enhance the story one bit especially if it is shoehorn haphazardly. Is this JK rowling depression acting out and she wanting acceptance or something
While I agree with a lot of what you say, I do want to point out a couple of things though : (1) Anthony Goldstein IS in the books, but like, only name dropped as the Ravenclaw Prefect in OOTP, and clearly not an actual character x) (2) It was blatantly obvious by the end of the first Fantastic Beasts film that Jacob was gonna get his memory back, with the whole "bad memory" thing and with the scene where Queenie is showing up in his bakery. (3) Accio is perfectly useable on living creatures, Harry uses it several times like this in the books (from the top of my mind, on a toad a couple times, and on Hagrid in DH). Although why JKR said in an interview that Accio could not be used on living beings, I couldn't say, I guess it's just the fastest thing she could come up with. (4) "We officially have magical sex crimes in Harry Potter" I mean... yeah? That was kind of the whole plot of the Half-Blood Prince, it's literally Voldemort's backstory x) (5) "Grindlewald just happens to be hosting a nazi rally where the characters were hanging out" no, he led them to this spot specifically, it's terribly written and super convoluted so it's not the most obvious but like, it was a "bait" or whatever to bring Credence to the rally and make him join him because only he knows who he is or whatever. (6) I'm surprised you didn't mention how stupid the very idea of the Blood Pact is. Like, beyond the fact that it absolutely ruins Dumbledore as a character, why, WHY, would Grindlewald make a Blood Pact that CAN BE BROKEN to prevent his most dangerous enemy from moving against him in a world where THE UNBREAKABLE VOW EXISTS. And it's not even that she forgot about the Unbreakable Vow (even though it would not be an excuse either), Yusuf Kama's only purpose as a character is that he made a fricking Unbreakable Vow to kill Corvus Lestrange. This is easily one of the most stupid, nonsensical part of the movie. Gods this film is so bad, and it's such a shame because imo the first film is really good. I would have 100% preferred more films about Newt Scammander roaming the world finding, helping, freeing magical creatures rather than this bullshit war with Grindlewald. The cast from the first film made such an awesome group of characters, I would have gobbled up any fun, light hearted adventures they would have embarked in to complete Newt's Pokédex.
Saying all that I just want to say that I've watched the first movie I got back into thinking about Jonny Depp and the fact that I had watched it some time ago. I haven't watched the crimes of Grindelwald though and you saying that makes me feel like I shouldn't because I'll just be disappointed as the first movie was good
I don’t mind a movies series about the war on grindelwald, but when you try and put 2 stories into one you just get the worst of both and create a mess
Thank you for mentioning Anthony Goldstein’s book appearance! I havent seen any other comments about this and thought I was going mad. I could only remember him in the first book being sorted just before Hermione, but you’ve confirmed he’s in OOTP as well which is true. JK is very problematic but Anthony wasn’t just a late stage retcon.
@@dequasont1063Not only 2 stories into one, but stretching it out into 5 movies. I would've much rather had one standalone Fantastic Beasts movie and that be it for Newt, and then two movies for the Dumbledore vs. Grindelwald storyline. Or hell, I'd take a streaming series about Newt Scamander like what OP said, and it just being him filling out his Pokedex for his book. Kinda like Doctor Who. Have Newt travel with Jacob as his companion, and each new episode be about a different beast that they need to help and put in their briefcase
Honestly, I think Fantastic Beasts would've worked better as a TV show, where we can see Newt and his friends get up to lots of different magizoological shenanigans and develop rather than trying to make Newt part of this big overarching plot that seems to drown him a bit. The whole Dumbledore/Grindelwald thing would work as a trilogy if Rowling focused more on taking them from their Godric's Hollow days up to the final duel and how their relationship becomes fraught as their ideals grow further apart. Really focus on the emotional core of the story and give more development to characters like Ariana and Aberforth rather than trying to retcon new characters and going for crazy plot twists
To add on to your idea. If they wanted to really connect the FB series with the harry potter series they could throw in hagrid into the series due to his fondness towards strange creatures like newt. Have hagrid be the muscle while newt be the brains
Grindelwald: "We have to kill all the muggles in order to prevent some of them from killing other muggles. Look! If we don't, they'll build this weapon called an 'atom bomb' that has the potential to destroy entire cities! Now stand back as I summon these two magic dragons with the intent of destroying this entire city." Makes perfect sense.
They wrote themselves into a corner basically. Grindlewald had a point and they realised they made him seem almost heroic so they had to have him do a random villainous thing to contradict it.
They wanted him to be a well intentioned extremist villain like X-Men's Magneto who had good intentions but went too far and went the wrong way about it but they failed at making him that.
I like how in the original series Grindelwald went crazy mostly because of his powers provided by the elder staff. But I think that Ron and Dumbledore are the same person so don't listen to me.
@@jeffbezos3200 he was a pretty ambitious guy. Dead set on his dream of becoming a scarer in Monsters University, extremely obsessed with getting the scare record in Monsters Inc. I’d say that Mike was a pretty Slytherin dude.
@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770 he really did better in comedy, but I guess he did work pretty damn hard to get in versus Sully who was born with the talent
What made the first movie good is how it lived up to the name. It’s called Fantastic beasts and where to find them, and that’s what they did. Newt and Jacob went on a fun quest to find Newts magical creatures that escaped in New York. It had a fairly good and digestible plot that was entertaining and had good characters to go with it. But then the next two movies went into the lore of Dumbledores past with Grindlewald and idk it just completely strayed from the point of Fantastic beasts in general. JK Rowling should’ve made a separate franchise or even a single movie that goes more in depth into Dumbledores past. The Fantastic Beast franchise should’ve just been centered around Newt and his magical creatures. Heck I wouldn’t mind if they just made a show about Newt and him handling his magic beasts and having fun adventures with them (with help from Jacob and even Tina and Queenie).
Honestly as an HP fan, I adored the first Fantastic Beasts, I thought it was cute and enjoyable. If it had ended there, I would've been happy. It's just some sweet Hufflepuff helping his fur babies. That's all we wanted! The whole Gridlewald new wizarding war ruined it. No one asked for that and no one wanted it.
Man JK really does dig her own holes regarding literally any topic she's questioned on. It's totally okay that when she wrote fiction from her imagination that most of the people she wrote were what she's familiar with, that's pretty normal and didn't make her a bad person, but oh boy did her trying to act like that wasn't what happened make her look like an asshole.
Yes I remember he was the guy with the IKEA interieur and the Swedish meatballs. What do you mean it is not in the book? Sven Svenson us a character that exists between the lines.
Why was JK so good in the past, like meta-level good, like "actually actually understanding all the deep structure of why good literature is good" kinda stuff, and then she just became the fanfic writer for her previous self? Is there any explanation? Like, in general, brilliant artists don't JUST lose all their talent in one finger snap?
She used to write books, so she had plenty of time to think through all the details of the story and make it make sense. So when they were making the movies, they had a lot of elements to choose from, things to cut from the story or elements to combine with others to shorten the narrative to make sense. Now she writes film scripts, which is not exactly the same thing. Scripts are (I think) much shorter and less detailed, and she only has about a year to think about what comes next and organize those ideas into a "decent" story. The result is... A great disappointment.
jk was never good lets be honest here. the harry potter books are "good" only through the lenses of nostalgia i love the books to death don't get me wrong but they aren't that good. jk writes weirdly, it ends up clunky, it's overly convoluted and complex to the point where there is so much unnecesary shit that it ends up contradicting and folding upon itself. she's better at writing books than movies don't get me wrong, but like, all the narnia books are superior, really most books are superior actually. it was eye-opening for me as a teenager to read actually quality literature and realise that these books weren't all that. it's a shame really because she has some genuinely good ideas but it's fumbled by her poor writing, terrible pacing and her outrageously dull approach to politics
@@SatanicPizza-fo2ei no; but what i hear of it is that it's more of jks inability to actually create a compelling social narrative that has a solution that isn't a simpe slap band-aid "well that's done for!" type ending. once again, have not read though
@@misterjr193The Harry Potter books are amazing, and that isn't just "through nostalgia lenses". The world building and characters are masterfully written. You need to re-read them apparently.
The Jewish guy actually existed in the books, hes actually mentioned pretty often. But making him Jewish is still weird, considering wizards don't follow muggle religions.
@@Qert-jd7ot why dont wizards follow muggle religions? Also hisethnicity can be jewish by being born to jewish parents. It doesnt matter what faith he believes in, hes still a jew
Q. Ert It’s never implied that wizards don’t follow “muggle religions.” “Muggle religions” would probably be all the ones invented after wizards went into hiding.
@@Qert-jd7ot To be fair though, there are wizards with two muggles as parents (like Hermione). If Anthony Goldstein grew up with two jewish muggle parents, it doesn't seem that far fetched that he'd share that religion (if he truly believes in it or not is another question). Aside from that, I do find it kinda hard to imagine that wizard-only families would have religious beliefs (I feel like religion and existing magic don't really mix), but then again there isn't really anything strictly against that possibility.
Maybe the most interesting too, the way she plays with the "death of the author" concept and changes or add lore every freaking week is remarkable: "OH you're right, Hermione could be black (she read some fanfiction with that change, and she adopted it). Wait no Dumbledore is GAY now. Some said they wanted a new perspective of the series? Ok. No wait that wasn't that popular, was it? Now this is the prequels of Harry Potter"
I thought you were gonna say “ezra miller trying his hardest not to wave a gun in peoples face and punch a chick”, but then i remembered this video was made awhile ago
Fans: No he's not you even said he was half-giant in the books-- JK Rowling: Yeah but you never see him take off his clothes so you wouldn't know that, he could be lying
She could have just said: "Although I never wrote any Jewish characters in my books, I can confirm that people of all backgrounds are welcome at Hogwarts." Wow, that was really easy!
for hermione, she could've also just said "yea, i originally wrote hermione as white, but i believe she can be portrayed by anyone of any race" but no, jk rowling is an idiot and thinks the only way people will accept diversity is to retroactively change her series and say that it was inclusive the whole time actually
that's the thing I don't understand. Jk Rowling is definitely at fault here but audience are too. If you think a white person can be replaced with a black person, then it's also okay to replace the black ones with white ones, replacing asians with white people and indians with black people. I think ethnicity is a very important aspect of humans and plays a big role in the characteristics of a character. I would never want Hermione to be played by a black actor just for the sake of wokeness just like I'll never want the parvati sisters to be played by white actors.
@@m143_sumaiyatabassum6 I feel like this argument doesn't fully work though. We've gotten a point where we hold onto a lot of history in our culture. A problem with that though is that a lot of this culture has been made with white people within the fore front because white people had control over the entertainment industry and what not. I dont think its wrong, as me a white person, to think that white characters can be replaced with poc (and other genders, sexualities, what not and whatever) (if done respectfully), mostly due to centuries of modern culture overly representing white people, even in roles that they shouldn't. Its not just "wokeness" but literally making characters more representative. And its a hard thing to see because we grew up with a prominent amount of white people in the media we consume.
The "I'm not mad you made a story about straight white kids, I'm just mad you keep lying to me." Is the funniest line I've ever heard this man say and I've binged almost all of his videos.
yeah deadass i spent the entire film super confused n telling myself 'yh im just dumb ill get it later when i google it' then the twist happens and im like 'wtf' so later i google it anyways and i sigh in relief cuz im not dumb its just a dumb ass film
I feel bad because JK Rowling has 3 children who are millenial-GenZ that means they're probably often on the internet and it must be hard seeing the whole world trash your own mom like that while being painfully aware that she brought this upon herself with her tweets. That must be such an unconfortable position to be in. If it were me I would beg my mom to stop and just delete twitter to not continue to make things worse
@@probablyhuman9947 you believe she’s a genuinely bad person, because of a few tweets that weren’t even transphobic? Maybe a bit insensitive and cringy, but that’s it.
@@stephenmartinez1no, she’s proudly called herself a Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist, so she is objectively transphobic by her own admission. She’s also literally implied that all trans people were rapists, and written a book where the main villain is a crossdressing male character. She’s a transphobe.
Actually... Anthony Goldsteen Is in the books😐. I was re-visiting the series some months ago with audible and, when his name popped out I started laughing out loud, alone, in my car. Oh... And Acchio charm can move Animals. Hermione uses it to move a frog, in the books. That doesn't make the movie or JKR Crazy recton any better... But we have to be Fair.
Small complaint: he did SEE the end of the last film? Where a small part of the Obscurus was seen escaping the subway? And how Jacob was beginning to remember in the bakery?
