There’s a famous saying: “I’m sorry I was born a human being”, and one of the things you can do to deserve being born a human being is to watch movies.

And Harry Potter, a good one that brought a large part of the audience to question the world, has recently come out with a spin-off, Where the Fantastic Beasts Are, after a few years.

With original author JKR as the screenwriter and the production being largely handled by the original cast, it’s safe to say that a familiar flavour is making a comeback.

The lead actor, Newt Scamander, is played by film star Freckles, and I’m told no is the only actor who didn’t audition for the role! And what exactly is his subtle relationship with C Harry Potter? It turns out that he wrote Where the Fantastic Beings Are, the textbook that has appeared in the Harry Potter series.

Isn’t it true that by this point an inner voice is screaming, “WTF! No less than the wuli goddess JK Rowling”, who was able to use all the seemingly buggy stuff as ambushes, more than a decade ago, she had built up the worldview of the wizarding world of the Harry Potter series so completely, with all the terrain and baggage, so now she has shaken them out one by one, and we are still guessing after the fact.

The film is not exactly ‘original’ to Harry Potter, how so?

Because the film takes place in 1926, decades before the Harry Potter stories, when an anti-magic group called the Second Salem was active in the United States, and the location is not Hogwarts in London, but New York, where “muggles” who can’t do magic become “muggle chickens”.

A laugh: I wonder if they’ll call them “Muggles” in China?

So, this film is for those who have never seen the Harry Potter films! The pressure! The power! Those who have can find their own highlights.

But as entertaining as it is, and as amusing and shocking as it is to watch the film, there must be a lot of confusion in the face of the grand worldview and the excessive number of subplots that have been squeezed into the film to pave the way for the next sequels, right? Let’s pick a few.

The beginning is cheerful, but why is the hero so awesome that he doesn’t use his phantom manifestation to go to America?

Yeah, isn’t that a bit of a nuisance? You have to take off your trousers and fart when you could have just “crossed over” to solve the problem?

No, the writers aren’t stupid, Rowling herself answered this question on Twitter, and here it is.

First of all, there is a distance limit to shifting, and as the distance increases, it becomes more difficult to succeed, especially when the danger of such a transfer across borders is greater. According to the original Harry Potter book, a failed transfer will result in a “split”, and a forced transfer will probably end with the upper half of your body in the US and the lower half in the UK.

Secondly, one of the newspaper headlines flashed at the beginning of the film reads “No magical animals allowed in the US”, so Newt is actually breaking into the US with a box of contraband, which is a better way to fool Muggle security than American wizards.

Finally, this box of magical animals is also magical in its own right, and there is no way to predict the effect that phantom shifting will have on them.

With the risks so high, it’s better to keep a low profile on the boat.

So, Rowling uses logic to give us a good explanation – it doesn’t help to take shortcuts, even if you’re capable of magic.

Keep your feet on the ground, Godfather!

What the hell is silence?

In 2001, when Rowling published her Where the Magical Creatures Are textbook, she conceived the idea of a magical world publishing house called “Silent World”, which was funded by Newt Scamander as he travelled around the world to write the book.

But before that, it is important to know about the Second Salem, an anti-magic organisation led by Mary-Lou Bailbon, who used to speak in public and hand out leaflets calling for the exposure of the wizarding world and a crusade against wizards, and who, as Krysten’s adoptive mother, kept her grandfather’s inherited magic powers at bay.

The silent ones are dark magical energies spawned by the young wizard’s repressed magical abilities. They depend on the host wizard for their existence and have the power to explode with terrifying attacks at any time, like an untimely nuclear bomb, so eventually Cressden, induced by Graves, became an exception to the rule. The silent ones were bound to die within the age of ten, but what kind of being was he? We don’t know yet.

But for those of you who saw the film with me, you got the impression that Murray wasn’t completely dead when he disappeared at the end, and that there was still a glimmer of fire left to escape.

What exactly is the relationship between Graves and the Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald?

The episode of this movie that makes you go, “Holy shit!” The episode that probably makes you go, “Holy shit!” is when a fat Depp appears as the villain with a white head overnight…

In fact, the real Graves was probably killed by Depp OR hidden away.

There is a description in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Legend has it that the one who has all the Deathly Hallows is the master of Death, and the Deathly Hallows are divided into three: the Old Wand (i.e. the Elder Wand), the Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak, and with the Deathly Hallows, Harry would have the power to be able to defeat Voldemort.

And this artifact was previously featured on the poster for Fantastic Beasts.

I mostly guessed Graves was a fake when he gave the token Deathly Hallows necklace to Credence in exchange for his trust.

Gellert Grindelwald, the Dark Lord, was the most notorious dark wizard of all time, as well as being the love of Dumbledore’s youth.

So what surprised me most about Graves’ final disguise as him was not the reversal, but the fact that wuli Johnny Depp was so fat that the next season of Pirates of the Caribbean looked like it wouldn’t have to wait ……

And I had a brainstorm, thinking that Graves, who has been grooming Cressden as a “weapon” since he was a child, would end up like the incestuous relationship between the heroine and the young man in the recent hit “Love of the Magi”…

Anti-killing, which in the film is the point of view, in reality is the manifestation of humanity.

Greenwald’s political stance is like that of Magneto in the X-Men series. He is not a mere villain, but as a young man he was very idealistic and wanted to reform the magical world, but unfortunately his sociopathic tendencies and black magic led him astray.

What is the American magical community like?

Unlike the British wizarding world in Harry Potter, the American wizarding world has several characteristics of its own.

In terms of magical government, the American Wizarding Congress appears to be a much more rigorous and efficient magical body, operating in a similar fashion to the US government, with a president, a minister of security, an Auror in charge of special operations, a foreign ministry, a department of execution and a number of casual clerical departments.

In terms of schools, the film mentions the Iphamani School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the most prestigious wizarding university in the United States. This school is very similar in structure to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and also consists of four colleges, each articulating its spirit with a magical creature, named after the magical animal favoured by its respective founder – the

The Academy of the Longhorned Water Snake, which favours scholars, the Academy of the Thunderbird, which favours adventurers, the Academy of the Cat and Panther, which favours warriors, and the Academy of the Gnome, which trains healers.

5. Is there really a world where people fall in love without looking at their faces?

The answer is: yes.

No matter how far away the wizarding world is from our lives, it was created by JKR, who lives here, so it makes sense that it exists.

So why on earth would Jacob the Fat Mugger be the chosen one?

①. He’s as special as Fantastic Beasts, not unlike the theme of the film – he goes against the grain as a naive craftsman at a loss in the new industrial age, holding on to his traditional skills (making handmade orange-filled doughnuts) that society has abandoned.

He, like Fantastic Beasts, is not accepted by the world, just as in reality most of us always go with the flow, and like a quote mentioned in both The Imitation Game and Doctor Strange.

“Sometimes it’s the people who people think are useless who achieve what no one has achieved.”

So he opened a bakery after getting a silver eggshell and created those amazing magical animal pastries (Ps: where do you get this kind of bread???)

After all, Fat Jacob gets all the laughs in the film! It’s easy for a simple man like this to find true love.

I have to say that when he steps into the rain at the end and is under the spell of oblivion cast by his beloved, he is mushroomed and blue.

The film’s first feature is the story of a young man who is a hero, a hero who is willing to be a hero’s sidekick and has his own ordinary but beautiful aspirations, a symbol of most mortals.

It goes without saying that the movie star, Freckles, who played the “man-turned-girl” in The Danish Girl not long ago, has been a hit with the girls! When he first read the script, he told his wife that he was going to New York to shoot the film, but it turned out that the location was only about 30 miles away from his home.

The other two actresses, as mentioned earlier in the scene with Jacob, are the main character’s sister, Queenie Goldstein, a free-spirited, stereotype-breaking, quirky and lovable regent who likes to use her powers to make all kinds of food and flirt with the second character, and can make clothes fit herself.

This time, Catherine Waterson plays an American wizard who was once an Auror in the US Congress of Magic before being demoted for using magic without permission and relegated to an idle department working for the US Congress of Magic, where she meets Newt in New York.

And at the end of the film she also asks about the picture of the girl in the case Newt carries with him, which shows the hero’s ex-girlfriend Rita Lestrange, a surname that is the husband’s surname of Bellatrix, Voldemort’s most devoted follower in the Harry Potter era, suggesting that Rita would have been a generation removed from Bella’s parents.

So, I wonder if these three will be putting on a Three Stooges music video later on?

Having said that, the best thing about the film in retrospect is probably the magical creatures!

The greatest feeling after watching the film is that it is enough to have a sniff in life, after all, it can help us to get a lot of money.

In addition, there is the bird snake that can expand and contract in length according to space, the tree guardian, the invisible beast, the thunderbird that can summon thunder and lightning, and the winged demon whose venom can erase people’s memories.

In the future, there are four more Fantastic Beasts sequels waiting to be released, which will continue under the title Fantastic Beasts XXX, and incidentally, continue our passion and curiosity for more of life.
