Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

1. Credence

Credence is a mute. The silent, the host silently parasitized by dark forces, usually occurs in young witches and wizards who over-repress their magical powers.

The reason why Credence suppressed magical powers and became a silent one was because he had been adopted by others since he was a child without knowing who his parents were. And it was no one else who adopted him. It was an American No-Major who was also the leader of an American anti-wizard group called Mary Lou.

Mary Lou hated wizards very much, so she suppressed Credence's quest for magic at the slightest, often abusing him, and a long-term lack of love made him a mute.

In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Credence explodes with rage out of desperation, unleashing the silence in his body and causing some damage to New York. In the end, he was killed by the US Ministry of Magic and turned to ashes.

However, there is a shot that points out that Credence's transformation into Silent was not killed, but flew away with the wind.

Credence will still appear in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, exploring his origins.

2. Grindelwald

In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Grindelwald disguises himself as Percival, the Security Director of the Magical Congress of the United States, to secretly search for the Obscure.

At the end of the story, he was arrested by Newt and the Ministry of Magic and sent to prison.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald begins as a continuation of this story.

3. Newt and Tina

Newt, a magical zoologist, the author of the textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them used by Harry Potter, a student and friend of Dumbledore.

He and the American Auror, Tina, fell in love with each other in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", but the two did not confess their feelings in the first part, but just had a taste of ambiguity, leaving a Newt back to England, and Tina in the America's end.

At the same time, Newt was restricted from leaving the country by the British Ministry of Magic because of the New York War at the end of the first film.

How will their relationship go this time?

4. Jacob and Queenie

Jacob, is an American No-Ma Chicken.

Queenie, Tina's younger sister, has the ability to read minds.

In "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", Jacob and Queenie fell in love, but they had to be "amnestic" at the end, because No-Maj could not have memories related to the magical world, otherwise it would endanger the existence of the magical world.

After Jacob returned to normal life, Newt ran and gave him a box full of sterling silver bird and snake eggs, allowing Jacob to open his bakery.

Queenie, probably didn't let go of her feelings. After Jacob lost his memory, he went to the bakery to find him regardless of his identity as a wizard, so Jacob regained his memories related to the magical world.

5. Sniff

Sniff, it must be the most popular magical creature in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find It! Sniff is obsessed with shiny things, especially gold and silver jewelry. Its pocket is like Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket with unlimited space, and the bag is full of gold coins. Who wouldn't want to own such a sniff?

In this film, Sniff is still a very important little animal to Newt.

Not only that, but it will also bring its family!

6. Rita Lestrange and Theseus Scamander

The photo of Rita Lestrange once appeared in the zoo in Newt's suitcase, Newt was read out by Queenie, and his relationship with Rita was, in short, "loved".

Theseus Scamander, Newt's older brother, handsome, young and promising, is the head of the Auror Office at the British Ministry of Magic.

The relationship between Rita, Newt, and Theseus is a bit complicated. Although Rita had a relationship with Newt, she ended up getting engaged to Theseus.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

1. Dumbledore and Grindelwald

The story of Dumbledore and Grindelwald was mentioned early in the Harry Potter series.

The two used to be ambitious young people with super magical abilities, and they agreed to create a better magical world together.

But Dumbledore's younger brother Aberforth Dumbledore and Grindelwald could not be merged. In the end, Aberforth and Grindelwald fought, Dumbledore joined the battle, but the war of the three inadvertently led to Deng The death of Bridor's sister Ariana.

From then on, Aberforth broke with Dumbledore, and Dumbledore also parted ways with Grindelwald.

But there was always a place in Dumbledore's heart that belonged to Grindelwald.

If it weren't for love, such a rational and intelligent Dumbledore would not have lost himself and chose to be with Grindelwald.

Today, Grindelwald is known as the Dark Lord, and in this world, the only one who can compete with Grindelwald is Dumbledore.

He always said "can't fight Grindelwald", is it because of love that he can't kill the killer, or is there another secret?

2. Mirror of Erised

The Mirror of Erised once appeared in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", this mirror can reflect the deepest longing in people's heart, so Harry was addicted for a time, because in the mirror he could see his biological parents.

Dumbledore advised Harry not to be addicted to the magic mirror. Dumbledore was also asked what he could see in the mirror. At that time, his answer was "a pair of thick wool socks". Who would have thought that Grindelwald was the his longing.

Dumbledore, did he see his own shadow in Harry who was addicted to looking in the mirror?

3. Nicole LeMay

Presumably, there will be a burst of exclamations in the theater when this hundreds-year-old old man appears.

Who is Nicole LeMay?

He used to be the name of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the name of which the three of them were struggling to find.

Finally, through Bibi Duoweidou, they discovered that Nicole Lemay was the alchemist who smelted the Philosopher's Stone. He used the power of the Philosopher's Stone to make himself immortal.

In the finale of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Nicole Ramey decided to destroy the Philosopher's Stone, and Nicole Ramey died after that.

However, people who are so important to the plot only live in legends, so this time it is quite exciting to see Nicole LeMay's real body.

In this episode of the film, the figure of the Philosopher's Stone will also appear. You should keep your eyes open and take a closer look.

4. Nagini

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald has a lot of Asian elements, not only Japanese and Chinese monsters, but also Korean actors in key roles.

Kim Soo Hyun, who played Dr. Cho in "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron", plays Nagini in this film.

Very familiar name, right? One of Voldemort's Horcruxes, his precious snake, is called Nagini.

Nagini is not born a snake, but a human being who has been cursed by blood, and will eventually be completely reduced to an animal.

5. Lestrange Surname

The surname Lestrange is also very special. This infamous surname actually comes from Bella Lestrange who killed Sirius.

Bella is not a member of the Lestrange family, but from the Black family. She is Sirius's cousin, and later married Rodolphus Lestrange before changing her name to Bella Rice. Trange.

In other words, Leta Lestrange and Bella Lestrange are related in a way.


——This part contains spoilers, please watch carefully——

6. Professor McGonagall

The second most beloved teacher at Hogwarts is probably Professor McGonagall.

I thought that the Hogwarts professor who appeared this time was only Dumbledore.

As a result, when the Ministry of Magic came to Hogwarts for a surprise inspection, Dumbledore said the familiar name again.

It turned out that the teacher who stopped the Ministry of Magic from entering the school was the young version of Professor McGonagall!

Professor McGonagall has only a few seconds of appearance in this film, and we have to expect more of her performance in the series sequel.

7. Beating Willow

The beating willow that smashed Ron's car into pieces, it also had a chance to appear in "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald", and the beating willow at this time was quite delicate, not like it was in "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald". Stout in Harry Potter.

8. Abernathy

Abernathy's character also appeared in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". He works for the Magical Congress of the United States, is Tina and Queenie's boss, and even has a secret affection for Queenie, but Queenie doesn't appreciate it.

Later, he became a follower of Grindelwald.

9. Ollilus Dumbledore

This is the most important analysis of this article.

At the end of the film, Grindelwald enlarges the bird Credence has been raising, and it can be clearly seen that it is a phoenix.

Throughout the two series of "Harry Potter" and "Fantastic Beasts", the only person who is hooked on Phoenix is ​​Albus Dumbledore.

Moreover, in this episode, Dumbledore himself said that the phoenix is ​​the guardian animal of his family, and the phoenix will appear as long as the people of the Dumbledore family need it.

But at that time, Dumbledore did not have a phoenix, but Credence did, which further proved one thing - Credence had been searching for the mystery of his life experience for so long, and it turned out that he was Deng. A member of the Bledo family.

Grindelwald said Credence's name was "Ollius Dumbledore."

I believe that many people are very confused after watching this ending. They really want to know who this Olleles is, and did they miss any plot?

In fact, this role is Rowling's new role.

There is a lot of speculation on the Internet about this role.

The first and easiest, Credence is the younger brother Dumbledore never met.

The second conspiracy theory is that Grindelwald tricked Credence into taking advantage of Credence's grievances against Dumbledore.

The third, Credence is the child of Dumbledore's sister, Ariana, because Ariana is likely to be a mute too. (I was bullied by Muggles as a child, and since then I can't use magic properly, and I drive myself crazy, and kill my mother).

Fourth, Credence is a part of Ariana, a part of her splintered as the Obscure, becoming Credence.

The fifth is the child of a relative of Dumbledore, so he is Dumbledore's cousin.

The pit is huge, and let's see how it fills in the next episode.
