It makes more sense than the conclusion I jumped to, but they still should have given us that information. <br /><br />I'm excited for Grindelwald v. Dumbledore too. I was always sad they had to cut so much of that backstory from the movies. (Although if I'm being honest, I don't totally remember how much was cut, I think I've only seen the last movie once...)<br /><br />Jakweenie was indeed adorable, but Newtina felt really forced to me. But, yeah, Newt was like the cutest thing. He wore a bowtruckle for a boutonnière! (Oh god, when he pretended to give Pickett away...) The way he was so concerned about his animals, like he was being dragged off to his death and all he cared about was that they not hurt his animals. I seriously almost cried.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-80963548166944234502016-11-30T20:15:51.196-05:002016-11-30T20:15:51.196-05:00Great review Sunbunny, although I think I liked th...Great review Sunbunny, although I think I liked the movie much more. To be honest I loved! I fell for all the main character and the story, specialy Newt. "adorkable" what a great word to describe him :) and I totally ship "Jakweenie" now. (official ship name by J.K.R herself by the way)<br /><br />I also liked that the movie have humor and magic, but that it didn't shy away fron darkness and more mature themes either. I think it really worked as a metaphor for child abuse and the pain some people go to supress who they really are out of fear. The escene when Credence take out his belt shocked me. Didn't espected it, took me out of guard. This was a more mature movie than the firsts Harry Potter movies, for a more mature audience. Meavy the passing was a little off.<br /><br />On the point you mention, I want to say tha I had the impression that Grindelwald didn't create the Percival Graves persona and worked years in MACUSA, he just suplanted and probably killed him, the real Percival Graves, probably to look for the Oscurial child he saw in his premonition. A pity really because a liked Colin Farrel interpretation. :(<br /><br />Overall a can't wait for the next one. The possibilities are endless. From the implication of Dumbledore's sister been an Oscurial, which would explain why would Grindelwald knew about them and was looking for one, to the inevitable final confrontation between him and Dumbledore hinself, former best friends (and posibly lovers) in the most tragic and awesome magical duel to end all magical duels. (I always thought it was sad they didn't do justice to their story in the previous films). Who knows, meavy even little Voldemort could appear at the end.<br /><br />Thanks for the review.
