My mother was watching Crimes of Grindelward and just listening to her talk about it reminded me of how much I hate that entire series and how it completely craps over the original series in every way possible. God I hate those films so damn much.

Before Harry.

@.hidisneyx3: I'm getting in there early with auditions and casting calls. Over last year (between morning sickness and being terrorised by twins), @.janeypowellx, @.mattHQ and I started to discuss ways in which to bring the history of her fabulous Harry Potter series to life. After a lot of chatting and brainstorming, we decided that making a series of films covering different areas of the marauders era would be best. These will be the following in this order: - Before Harry: The Marauders & The First Wizarding War - Before Harry: The Dumbledores - Before Harry: Origin of the Order - Before Harry: The Life & Death of Regulus Black - Before Harry: The Tales of the Black Sisters - Before Harry: I Am Tom Marvolo Riddle NOTE: while a lot of these stories aren't continuously connected, they will all fit into the timeline in their own way. therefore, for MOST of the films, the actor who is cast for one character will always play that character for the entirety of the films. For example, Bellatrix in the marauders will be the same actress in the black sisters movie. See a brief film synopsis and the characters involved below. MINOR ROLE = small appearances in one or two of the films REGULAR CHARACTER = a character you'll see and hear of regularly throughout most, if not all, of the films

@fulmincre

Before Harry: The Marauders & The First Wizarding War

Brief synopsis: This film starts the timeline of the 'Before Harry' universe. The central focus characters will be James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew & Remus Lupin & the narrative will follow their friendship, flashing back and forth between their time at Hogwarts and the lead up to The First Wizarding War. It won't include anything beyond The Order of the Phoenix as that's a film that will come later on.

Before Harry: The Dumbledores

Brief Synopsis: The film follows the life of Albus Dumbledore and his family. It will be shot in two parts. Part one will be 1892 - 1899: Albus's Hogwarts years, including the story of his father's arrest, Albus's genius and later on, his romantic relationship with Grindelward which led to the decline of his relationship with his brother, Abeforth. After a montage showing the events of the Global Wizarding War (also referenced in Fantastic Beasts/Crimes of Grindleward), the second part of the film starts in the late 1930s and into the 1940s. It follows Albus meeting Tom Riddle at Wool's orphanage and becoming a professor. This specific film ends with Dumbledore defeating Grindleward, who was terrorising the continent during this time.

Before Harry: Origin of the Order

Brief Synopsis: This film follows the origins of the Order of the Phoenix and where it came from. It would start with the prophecy and how it targeted both the Longbottoms and the Potters before flashing back in time to Albus conjuring the order in the 70s. It would cover the rise of the Death Eaters and the confrontations muggle-borns, muggles and later "blood traitors" had with them. The central characters in this film would be the Marauders, the Potters and the Long Bottoms. The middle of the film is told through the eyes of Sirius and Pettigrew rather than either of the families and reveals the story behind Pettigrew's betrayal and why he did so, as well as Sirius's imprisonment. Obviously this part will cross into Harry being the chosen one but won't explore his story any further. Instead, the ending of the film will look into what happened after the war; Select Death Eaters, most famously Bellatrix, torturing the Longbottoms and seeing them trialled and sent off to Azkaban. The final scene shows Albus and Severus discussing the protection of Harry Potter with other Order members, before disbanding.

Before Harry: The Life & Death of Regulus Black

This film will follow the story of Regulus Black, the younger brother of Sirius. It'll start with how he was sorted into Slytherin and idolised the Dark Lord, joining the Death Eaters from an extremely young age. The story will follow his journey through Hogwarts, his bond with Kreacher and how slowly, he started to doubt his loyalty to the Death Eathers. It will follow Regulus's discovery of the Horcruxes before he eventually dies; revealing his real death, being dragged to death by the Inferi.

Before Harry: The Tales of the Black Sisters

More of a romance x family story. This film follows the history of the Black Sisters, their upbringing and then their different paths as they grew into young adults. It'll feature Narcissa's romance with Lucius and Bellatrix's, Bellatrix marrying Rodolphus becoming Death Eaters and going on to torture the Longbottoms (seen more earlier.) Seeing as she's the sister who is seen LEAST in the original series, The Tales of the Black Sisters will mainly be told from Andromeda's perspective; how she dealt with her family's favouritism for blood-purity, falling in love with Ted and eventually being burnt off of the family tree. She narrates the film.

Before Harry: I Am Tom Marvolo Riddle

Brief Synopsis: The entire story of Voldemort right up to the end of the First Wizarding War. There's too much for me to write in here but you can find it on Harry Potter Wiki :')

REGULAR CHARACTERS

James Potter Sirius Black Peter Pettigrew Remus Lupin Albus Dumbledore (only open in The Dumbledores, otherwise played by older actors) Severus Snape Lily Potter neé Evans Tom Riddle (Lord Voldemort played by an older actor in later eras/films) Bellatrix Lestrange neé Black Andromeda Tonks neé Black Narcissa Malfoy neé Black Regulus Black Frank Longbottom Alice Longbottom Lucius Malfoy Xenophilius Lovegood Pandora Lovegood neé Lestrange Rodolphus Lestrange Rabastan Lestrange

My issues with Crimes of Grindelwald movie and Jk Rowling’s Queerbaiting

This is a thread about fantastic beasts and where to find them 2

(the crimes of Grindelward)

If you are not familiar with the term queerbaiting.

It’s When a television series, book or movie makes statements on there being LGBTQ representation, but it ends up being for views. canonlogically or In the movie there ends up being none or less then they hinted at.

The backstory:

We know that Dumbledore is gay and has feelings for Grindelwald because Jk Rowling explicitly said so. This all basically happened because Rowling has previously been accused of lack of diversity and representation In her potter books. She fought off these claims with the new information Including that Dumbledore was gay and in love with Grindelwald. So when this movie was announced we were promised and hoped for some sort of acknowledgment of this.

Why do people queerbait?

Tv and film want to be inclusive of all people to sell more tickets yet they know that being gay is still (unfortunately) a controversial topic for some people and in some religions. So they try to get the best of both worlds and include it but never really say it out loud so that way they can’t be held accountable for either including or not including it. For them it’s a win win.

For representation and diversity it’s a lose lose.

Cut to the problems.

SPOILERs🚨 ahead

The scenes I will be discussing are

1. The scene where newt scamander asks Dumbledore why he can’t go up against Grindelward himself and Dumbledore’s reply to this.

2. The scene where Dumbledore looks into the mirror of Erised and sees Grindelward and him,and then seeing the both of them Taking a blood oath.

Here’s why this does not make sense and it is queerbaiting if you do not tell us or show us about dumbledore’s feelings.

Scene 1: if the only thing stopping Dumbledore from fighting Grindelwald is their blood oath why doesn’t he tell Newt this the first time he asks him? Seems to the viewer It’s not a big deal if there’s no feelings involved but instead Dumbledore acts all secretive about it as if there’s another reason to it and says nothing about this oath.

Scene 2: here’s where it gets sticky because of The movie makers previous decision.

Dumbledore is standing in front of the mirror of Erised and sees...Grindelwald.

Pause.

Okay I’m thinking this must be where they announce his feelings for Grindelwald Since seeing him thorough the mirror or Eirsed means this is what Dumbledore desires most in the entire world.

Then the camera cuts to them both taking the oath preventing them from fighting each other. (I’m not gonna mention the plot hole of the mirror showing the past all of a sudden) this could be interpreted as that what he desires most is for them to be close and have a bloods binding bond as a token of their friendship.

They knew that was not enough to not be bait. So they trhow out some more bait and They show us a close up of Dumbledore and Grindelwald’s fingers Intertwining but then cuts right back to the oath reminding you that they’re holding hands to seal the oath, leaving us free to interpret however.

When a movie’s adds a love interest it usually does not help the plot forward at all. In this case it acatually DOES help the plot move forward that’s why the bait is important to the director and Rowling.

Let me explain why

if they break the blood oath and Dumbledore is able to fight Grindelward the plot suddenly still has tension because you could explore the “What will happen when Dumbledore sees him again? “ narrative.

“Will he be able to kill Grindelwald or will his feelings get in the way of him doing what needs to be done?”

They’re baiting you because they know not including any sign of Dumbledore’s feelings makes the whole “blood oath”plot point weak because all it becomes is “you used to be friends with me and now you’re not! and the viewer is gonna be yawning and saying get over it and just kill him already.

If there were no feelings then what was the point of all the Mirror of Erised business then?

What was the point behind all the secrecy and stalling around the blood oath?

Gotcha... you guessed it... say it with me.... Queerbaiting

Thnx for coming to my TED TALK.

QUEER BAITING where you desperately try to have your cake and eat it too.

[the-working-class-guide-to-films]

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelward.

Or as my friend @mollichu on Twitter put ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where Do I Get My Refund’ That’s quite funny. Harsh, but possibly true. COG starts right after the first installment of Fantastic Beasts with little story, little development and little humour for a 2 hour flick that is basically Grindelward settling in to a nice French apartment and Eddie Redmayne trying to win back his bird.

I’ll catch you up on the three months that have passed in the film. Johnny Depp has escaped prison. Dumbledore has told Eddie to go to France to find Ezra Miller because he is trying to find his mum. Queenie and Jacob have had a falling out so Queenie goes to France to see Tina and Jacob goes with Eddie to France. Grindelward is in France because he wants to capture Credence who he believes will take down Dumbledore. Even though we know that’s not going to happen.

I really enjoyed the first Fantastic Beasts for the simple reason that apart from Newt and the creatures there wasn’t really any relation to Harry Potter canon. The first film had all the Harry Potter fun; the magic and imagination that made you feel like you was in a totally new world that was such a wonderful escape from our ordinary mundane muggle lives. But COG didn’t really do any of this. It didn’t have the sparkle, the mystery or the intrigue of the first one. Instead it was bogged down in new and confusing plot twists and family relationships. It didn’t need to be as confusing as it was. That let it down massively. 

It was fun and the performance from Depp was very good, he is a bit like a far-right not as charming Jack Sparrow really. But Grindelward could have and should be darker. I want some more rallies and dark stuff to happen. I don’t want PG crap. 

I can’t even talk about the HP canon that’s been totally mucked about with. Dumbledore teaching Transfiguration WHAAAAT?!?! Minerva McGonagall teaching at Hogwarts when she wasn’t old enough WHAAAAT!?!?! Grindelward telling Credence that he is Dumbledore’s brother WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?! Seriously though that’s dumb. Because we know he’s not. So it won’t be a plot twist when it turns out to be a lie, but imagine if JK is just like ‘yep that’s his brother, FU to all my fans who read the books’.God that will be so stupid. I don’t even need to warn you about possible spoiler alert because it’s so stupid it’s not a spoiler. 

3/5 It’s not great. There’s too much pointless backstory and plotting for future films. Dumbledore doesn’t even fight Grindelward until 1945 and we are currently in 1927 or something. Is it gonna jump forward massively? Will there be a new actor playing Newt? I’m calling it now but Grindelward controls Hitler, that’s the plot for one of the films.
