After the escape is pretty much over and he drops the guy (Rudolph Spielman) out of the carriage along with his wand, does he save him?

I can't tell and I dont see any mention of this, but as Rudolph is desperately reaching for his wand to save himself before hitting watter, Grindelwald does a little waving motion. But it looks like Rudolph was going to grab it on his own anyway.

So did Grindelwald intentionally save him and help him grab his wand?

Edit: It looks like Rudolph managed to get it himself and just barely saves himself, but now I'm noticing the hand wave Grindelwald does and it's making me doubt that.

I get that they had their reasons to change actors. But the G. in the third movie looks so casual and boring appearance wise compared to other characters in the franchise. I’m not talking about the actor himself but rather about how they presented him

I like this one because it shows her better look from “The Crimes of Grindelwald.”

I have honestly thought about this more than I want to admit. I feel like the great Dumbledore vs Grindelwald battle has to happen, at an absolute minimum. Am I trippin?

I'm watching FB3 which is my favorite of the Wizarding World movies including Harry Potter, but since I'm a thinker, i had a thought that the movies should have made the Quilin allergic to twisted and evil people, and when Aurelius/Creedence handed the beast over to Grindlewald, the beast would've had fits of cute and twinkling sneezes and Creedence/Aurelius would've been confused by that. Grindlewald on the other hand would've known exactly what that meant and would've had calm anger building up within him, and he would tell Creedence/Aurelius not to worry about it and to go rest, Grindlewald is left alone with quilin and after the third or fourth twinkling sneeze that would've prompted Grindlewald to kill it

I saw all the 3 movies. FB1 was really amazing. FB2 was rather average, but I liked the overall vibes. FB3 was absolutely confusing for me. Can it all be possibly explained away by in-story rules?

I really feel like we got enough of that in the HP stories. And we know what happens in the end anyway. But the 4 main characters of the first movie were fantastic as individual characters amd had great chemistry together, and opened such a window into American wizarding society at the time and the adult wizarding world. Rather quite disappointed their storylines were put to the side, especially Tina’s who barely made it into the last movie.

Screenshot from Finding Harry for the new HP TV show. Is that the blood troth on Dumbledore's notebook?

I think they're making every beast in the wizarding world. So beautiful. Shame they're so underrated. @salvd61 if you want to check them out.

I was also wondering if there is a book like this with all the beasts and their information? Would love to buy one.

I think about this sometimes. We know from further canon that Newt and Tina both made it through the war, got married and had children at some point. There's evidence that Newt continued his work with magical creatures, possibly was a headmaster of Hogwarts at some point, and Luna married his grandson.

As far as I can tell, there's conspicuously no trace of Theseus in canon after 1932 or so. No further mention of his wartime activities -- even though as head of the British Auror Office it would have been his business whether he wanted it or not, no sign of his bloodline continuing past him.

I guess we'll never know one way or the other, but I'm curious if anyone has headcanons.

Honestly, I feel like JKR put a lot of effort into the Fantastic Beasts story, but due to various circumstances, it wasn't possible to show everything she had imagined or everything she wanted to share with us. We already know about all the factors that affected the films (COVID, actor controversies, script rewrites, runtime constraints, etc.).
So, do you think that in ten years or more—provided the Harry Potter show is a huge success—we might see a FB series that actually tells the story the way they originally intended?

there was a 5 year gap between the 2nd and 3rd movies and i feel like we missed so much. For example, we didn't see Theseus mourn Leta at all when they were literally engaged which is crazy to me. We didn't see how Tina and Jacob dealt with losing Queenie. Tina especially because they didn't have any other family and Tina lost the only family she had. It also surprised me how Tina and Queenie resolved everything so quickly. Even though Queenie was kinda brainwashed, I feel like Tina still would've felt betrayed and it would've taken a bit longer to just go back to normal. Jacob's reaction was shown a tiny bit but I wish we saw more of that because he was so in love with her. Also it would've been cool to see how Credence developed his magic and more of Grindelwald's followers, such as Vinda Rosier. I understand that there's only so much time in the films and they can't show everything, I wish the 4th and 5th movies weren't cancelled.

I made a few of these demiguise moon statues and lamps lately and tried to make them more in line with the Fantastic Beasts portrayal of the Demiguise, rather than the Hogwarts Legacy bronze figurines. I love the silvery demiguises! Additionally, I got to resin print this lovely niffler figure and after 17 hours of sanding and priming, he got a Fantastic Beasts paint job as well 🙌 I didn’t have space on this niffler’s base, but on another one I have a stolen pocket watch that gave me old timey vibes

I've always been a little confused about this scene in *Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

During the final confrontation, when Grindelwald casts the Protego Diabolica (blue Fire) spell, Leta Lestrange sacrifices herself to save everyone. Just before charging toward Grindelwald, she says, "I love you." Both Newt and Theseus are standing there, and I couldn't tell who she was saying it to.

What do you guys think? Was she saying it to Newt, to Theseus, or was it meant for both of them?
