It's a movie that makes fans extremely comfortable, and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is more closely related to the Harry Potter franchise than the first. We reunited with those long-lost names in the movie, as if we had returned to our boyhood overnight.

The following content contains a lot of spoilers, and fans who have not watched the movie should read it carefully.

Dumbledore! professor! headmaster! came back! In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, with Dumbledore falling from the tower, an era of saga ends. Although I already knew Dumbledore's return from the trailer for "The Crimes of Grindelwald", the moment I saw the professor turn around in the movie theater, my heart still warmed. When Dumbledore stood in front of the Mirror of Erised, the long-standing unsolved case was finally solved. What Lao Deng yearned for and missed most in his life was the youthful love in his youth. To be precise, it was Grindelwald. Old Deng, this liar, also told Harry that he saw himself holding a pair of wool socks. This led to speculation for years that what Dumbledore saw in the mirror was a reunion with his sister's family. As he said himself, Lao Deng and Grindelwald were not just close friends, they even established a blood alliance when they were teenage lovers, and they were people who could never hurt each other.

The real alchemist Nicolas Lemay appears for the first time. We are not unfamiliar with this name. Lemay is the owner of the Philosopher's Stone in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", who has lived for more than 300 years. However, although Lemay is immortal, the quality of life does not seem to be very high. The old man who shakes hands with others will hurt his bones. He turned the tide at the last moment. It seems that Jiang is still old and hot, and it is estimated that he was also a great wizard when he was young.

Professor McGonagall also appeared. When he was young, Professor McGonagall only had two shots and two lines, but it was still memorable.

Nagini, a real beauty snake. One is a beauty, another is a big snake. At this time, Nagini was still very kind. Decades later, Nagini could not escape the blood curse after all, and permanently turned into a snake. Finally, he was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort, and was used by Neville as a Griffin. The Sword of Many kills at Hogwarts.

The magical world of "The Crimes of Grindelwald" is very grand. We followed Newt to visit the French Ministry of Magic, the British Ministry of Magic, the French Magic Street (a bit like Diagon Alley in the United Kingdom), and even back to Hogwarts, Muggle The magical world in the eyes is further expanded. On the way, we also saw more magical animals, and Xiao Sniff was so cute that it exploded. In the end, he made a great contribution and stole the blood alliance container from Grindelwald. Zuwu is fierce and cute, and he can't walk when he sees a cat stick. He is a mythical beast made in China. The civet cat can switch between the evil and fierce state and the cute state. But in this one, Fantastic Beasts is no longer the protagonist, after all, the title has already marked Grindelwald's name.

The plot line is not complicated, it basically revolves around Quidence silently. Legend has it that the Credence was the last bloodline of a noble pure-blood family in Europe. Credence tried to find his family, only to find that they were all dead. The Ministry of Magic wants to find Credence and kill him to stop him from being used by Grindelwald; Newt and Tina want to find Credence and rescue him; Grindelwald wants to find Credence and recruit him; Creedence The "brother" wants to find him to avenge his father. In the end, after a full circle, everyone misunderstood that Cuddens was not the heir of a European pure-blood family at all. Grindelwald threw a huge pit, and Quidence was actually surnamed Dumbledore. It seems that Silent Ran can be regarded as a genetic disease in the old Deng family. Lao Deng's sister is likely to be Silent, and Kudens, the eldest nephew (I guess), is also Silent. And Fox is actually Quddens.

Of course, for those of us who are addicted to the magical world, the main storyline is just a travel route. Every familiar spell and potion, every lovely magical animal, and even every magical object we experience on the way can make us cherish endless aftertastes. . Compound decoction, door keys, fluorescent flickering, in addition to your weapons, these details of clothing, food, housing and transportation build a magical world, making it so vivid, dreamy, real, and fascinating.

PS: It is also a dark wizard and a big devil. Grindelwald has much better taste than Voldemort in terms of dressing tastes and methods of summoning believers.
