**SPOILERS!** Fantastic Beasts **SPOILERS!**

[purplepebbles]

Part of the end is bothering me. I've seen it twice.

Why didn't the Aurors have their memories obliviated by the rain like the No-Majs / Muggles. We know the Obliviate spell works on wizards, thanks to Gilderoy Lockhart (Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defence League and five-time winner of Witch Weekly's Most-Charming-Smile Award). If Scamander had been testing it and found its useful properties, he must have been testing on Muggles, then surely? Bit unethical

The Swooping Evil potion spreading through the rain was a stretch as it is, let alone it not affecting the magical population.

its on Sky movies at the moment and I've watched it three times recently.

[Davros]

I think there was talk of a second one a while ago but not so sure, who could replace Dr Lazarus?!

[GrabtharsHammer]

Oh don't. You'll start me off.

Hoping we'll see Ariana Dumbledore in the later films - it's pretty likely she was an Obscurial, isn't it? And her death will trigger the events of the final film, or final two films if it's like Hallows.

[harrypoooter]

Yes Ariana was definitely and obscurial she killed people with magic exploding out of her. Also + 1 for being disappointed in the casting of Grindelwald. But he obviously escapes so maybe he use different faces?

I think Leta will be a massive part and I reckon she will be bad. Who do we fancy to play young dumbledore?

[MorrisZapp]

I don't get why the chubby bakery bloke was meant to be charming. All the through I kept thinking 'christ is he still here' then he got a big emotional scene at the end.

Johnny Depp, just ugh.

[mamapants]

Arianna will already be dead unless there are flashbacks surely?

[harrypoooter]

Ah I liked bakery bloke!

[Summertime1]

sounds good lol! Love to see the niffler.

[frikadela01]

Was coming to say that arianna will already be dead I think.

It will be interesting if the film's will lead to dumbledores defeat of Grindelwald. It will be interesting to see which actors they choose for the various parts (assuming Newt will be in them all) because if i rightly remember Grindelwalds eventual push for power and defeat by dumbledores coincides with world war 2 which is 20 years ish after fantastic beasts.

I did love the film though. Guessed quite early that Graves was Grindy. Wish he'd stay as Colin Farrell though. Id forgotten how.much I loved him.

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Ariana must be dead - she died when Grindelwald was 17 or 18, and I think he looked in his 40s there. I wasn't sure he needed to be quite so Aryan looking either - the parallels are obvious enough!

The bit that I thought was the worst was how they persuade their own people to kill themselves.

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Oh and how did Modesty get a wand?

[PerspicaciaTick]

Grabthar said exactly what I had thought about only the bad memories being erased.
I think it spread through water, not just rain. So the no-mags inside were shown drinking water, brushing their teeth and taking a shower.

I have to say that I'm in two minds about the film. I loathed Eddie Redmayne doing a reprise of, well, Eddie Redmayne. But I enjoyed Jacob, the outsider who found a new "family" because of his open mindedness. I also liked some of the set pieces, the rhino thing pounding around central park and the cockroach in the teapot (huge nod to Alice in Wonderland?). And it looked very, very beautiful.

[laylabelle]

Awwww really liked it. Scenery was pretty. Johnny Depp looked different!

Next one is 2018..then 2020.. Can see how they're making 5 films out of it but still long wait!

[Grindelwaldswand]

Did anyone else notice Newt was wearing a Hufflepuff scarf from his school days ?!?! And i squealed when Grindelwald was revealed he's actually scarier than voldemort for me, i felt sorry for credence but i actually thought modesty was the obscurial not him i want to go see it for a 2nd time already and i want to know more about Leta Lestrange my neck hairs stood on end at the mention of her ( grandmother to rodolophus?)

[purplepebbles]

From Buzzfeed for you Grindelwaldswand

[Grindelwaldswand]

Have any of you seen this :

All 3 are amazing fan made productions designed for adults and the cast are amazing !! Stumbled upon them while watching fan video's a few months ago

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

I thought I saw a bit in the trailer saying something like "I won't let that happen to another one of them" or something similar and presumed one of the escapees died, but then I don't remember the line being in the film Did I make that up or can anybody else remember it?
