The Crimes of Grindelwald - Ruining a Franchise

J.K. Rowling's probably one of the only authors in the world where the fans are the ones saying "Stop sending me this shit."

"I'm not mad that you wrote a story about straight white kids. I'm just mad that you keep lying to me." Yep that just about sums it up.

I like how Ezra Miller ends up being the surprise villain, just like in real life.

“Were there any arab students at hogwarts?” JKR “yes, Mohammad bin laden,Slytherin”

Why weren’t there any Native Americans at Hogwarts? JK Rowling: Pocahontas Mohawk, Native American wizard, Gryffindor.

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."

"Were there any Canadian students at Hogwarts?" "Yes, Maple Poutine, Hufflepuff."

“Tina is looking for Ezra Miller so she can arrest him.” She’s the real hero of this story 16:30

This movie confirms that Grindelwald is better than Voldemort after all he manages to kill a baby

"We are now rooting for characters who are trying to stop a man who is trying to stop the holocaust from happening." Great line lol.

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

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?

Were there any British students in Hogwarts? J.K.: No.

>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

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.

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

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.

"Fifteen minutes into my Harry Potter movie and we've killed our first baby. And yes, I did say, first baby." I lost it.

“Were there any German students at Hogwarts?” JKR: “Yes. Heinz Adolf Bratwurst, Hufflepuff.”

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
