So while the homage is fairly annoying when you hold Snape accountable for his actions, it's not entirely unfitting. In some ways, Snape and Aberforth are alike. ![]() When Credence finally meets Aberforth, he asks, "Did you ever think of me?" Paying homage to Snape, Aberforth says, "Always." Aberforth tells Credence to come home, only taking responsibility as a father when his son is dying - and there's nothing that can save him. It's pretty negligent on Aberforth's part, given that it seems like he suspected or fully knew of his child's existence. Meanwhile, in "The Secrets of Dumbledore," following the reveal that Credence is Aberforth's son, it's unclear why Aberforth never bothered to look for him. When Dumbledore asks if he loves Lily after all this time, the potions master says, "Always." In reality, the quote symbolizes Snape's unwavering stalker behavior, but even Harry himself romanticizes Snape's actions when he names his second son Albus Severus. Snape's pining over the woman who turned him down decades ago is endless and ridiculous, to the point where he bullies her child (just because Harry looks like James), and Snape's Patronus is still a stag to match Lily's. It may have even been released before Newt's book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." However, judging by the cover (sorry, librarians everywhere), the book likely paints creatures in a much more negative light than Newt's guide. ![]() Some of the titles include "Sonnet of a Sorcerer," which jinxes readers into speaking in limericks forever, "Have a Fiesta in a Bottle," and "Extreme Incantations." But alongside the colorful creations is the dreaded "The Monster Book of Monsters," which means that Harry's textbook is quite old. Of course, there's also one with colorful textbooks, designed mainly by real-life artist MinaLima. One has a golden snitch (which gives off Dumbledore's "Deathly Hallows" will vibes), another has pastries, and one melts - to name a few. Waterston (another Londoner, for those keeping score) has been publicly critical of JK Rowling’s transphobic rhetoric, so fans are left to speculate if this has had an impact on how her slice of the story will be told going forward, or if it’s merely some spoiler-avoidant editing in service of some narrative surprise.As it turns out, the wizarding world isn't quite finished with "The Monster Book of Monsters." When Dumbledore's OG army sets off to confuse Grindelwald and get the Qilin to the election, all but one group member carries a bewitched suitcase that looks like Newt's. Fans who have seen the trailers and promo materials for this third Fantastic Beasts film have noticed the character’s veritable absence, despite being officially listed as a cast member, and being an indispensable aspect of Newt’s life story. She is a character who decides for herself what is just, even if her bosses disagree, and it is this righteousness that makes her a valuable partner to the good guys of the story. She’s a New Yorker and a graduate of America’s wizarding school. Ostensibly the female lead of the series, and Newt’s primary love interest (especially now that Zoë Kravitz’s Leta Lestrange is out of the picture), Tina ( Katherine Waterston) is an auror, which is the wizarding world’s version of law-enforcement. As the Beasts films worked to get their cultural footing, Newt proved to be one of the easier elements of them to embrace. Having an Oscar caliber actor in such a role is an age-old cheat code when the stakes are that high, and Redmayne sells Scamander’s curiosity, awkwardness, and bravery with veteran ease. The budding franchise’s success hinged, in part, on successfully selling Newt’s likability and the plausibility of his continued proximity to mortal peril. Redmayne had to step into the wizard world playing a fully formed man, one who many casual fans had of only in passing. The year after that, he debuted in the role of Newt Scamander, a British wizard fascinated with magical creatures.ĭaniel Radcliffe had many Harry Potter films to grow into the young man people picture when they think of that character. He was nominated the following year for his role in The Danish Girl. Before picking up his magic wand, the most high-profile work of the actor’s career was arguably 2014’s Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything, which earned the actor that film’s sole Academy Award. Star of the stage and screen since 1998, London-born Eddie Redmayne toplines the ensemble cast as the charmingly idiosyncratic Hufflepuff alum. ![]()
