This is the FILM canon not BOOK canon.

Mcgonigal only states her time at hogwarts in the book not the films. Plus, Maggie Smiths Mcgonigal (even putting aside exteneded witch lifespans) was much older than it implied she was in the books. I think it perfectly resonable to assume she been teaching since 1927 in the fills.

Now I still believe the overall major aspects of the story (newts, Credance, Jacob, Nagini etc) will be canon to the book, but since Mcgonigal is a glorified cameo (that doesn't affected the main plot against grinderwald) I don't think it bring any problems.

It only a problem is Mcgonigal plays a major role later that affects the story.

@StormXmen123 - what are you some kind of Harry Potter nerd? We don't 'cern ourselves with facts around here. So don't you go around posting comments of substance Especially not first comment.

Now delete this comment and post an amended version with "first" like the rest of us, mudblood

Fantastic continuity errors and how to find them.

So it creates continuity errors and sets up sequels. If these are the bigger easter eggs, I might not watch it after all. Maybe only for Jude Law, but we’ll see

I can see why Josh didn't like this movie. He clearly didn't understand it, and this article is littered with lies and false statements.

Alright, I normally don’t post but the supposed continuity issues with this movie are mostly (if not all) based on assumptions. A whomping willow can be seen in the flashback to the early 1900s, but who is to say that tree is the same one that was supposedly planted in the 1950s. Also, yes there is a Professor McGonagall in 1927, which would make her the right age to be the mother of another Professor McGonagall who started teaching in 1956. As far as Nicholas Flamel being a pointless inclusion...isn’t it he who has one of the 3 Deathly Hallows in his possession. That alone would make him incredibly necessary to this overall story arc. Just sayin..

@Redking77 - No Flamel never had a Hallow as far as we know. Grindlewald has one. The Potters have one. And Voldemorts Grandfather has one at the time in these films.

@Ravenous - What about the Philosopher's Stone? That's one of the 3 Deathly Hallows along with the Invisibility Cloak and the Wand.

StupidFatHobbit - 11/19/2018, 1:48 PM
@Redking77 - The resurrection stone is a deathly Hallow.
Redking77
Redking77 - 11/19/2018, 2:46 PM
@StupidFatHobbit - The Philosopher’s Stone is the Resurrection Stone. It’s in the books as well as the Tales of Beetle Bard. In Beasts 2, it can be seen in Flamel’s home.

@Redking77 -
The Philosopher's Stone and the Resurrection Stone are ABSOLUTELY NOT the same thing.

The Philosopher's Stone was destroyed at the end of the first book. Furthermore, it's origins like in alchemy (also stated in the first book), while the Resurrection Stone was fashioned by Death himself.

Also, they clearly differ in shapes and sizes and have entirely different purposes. The Philosopher's Stone is large and shiny red, and helps prolongs one's own life. The Resurrection Stone is black and much smaller, and simply resurrects one's loved ones to the mortal realm - nowhere in the books nor in the movie does it say anything about extending one's life.

The movie is very Mixed Bag, but where is this narrative coming from that the film is light on Fantastic Beasts.

There were plenty of Fantastical Beasts throughout the film.

@IronGenesis - so... Where do I find them?

1. That isn't the whomping willow.
2. Dumbledore was never a DatDA teacher. Ever.
3. You forgot Travers, the head of the Dept. of Magical Law Enforcement. His son (or grandson) becomes a Death Eater. Technically he could be the same Travers in the HP books but he would likely be too old as he is already around 40 years old in the film in 1927.

Josh, half of this shit is incorrect. Maybe that's why your review was hot garbage lol 😏 Asterisks everywhere *******

It was a little bit of a let down. But I’d see it again and I could honestly care less about some of those Continutiy errors. They’re not as good the the original movies but they’re fine.

Honestly, this sounds like a cringeworthy fan fiction of a film that weakens the story of the series as a whole.

@Scarilian - Pretty much. Don't know how JK signed off on it 😂😂

Could easily have been McGonagall's mother or aunt, right?
Ravenous
Ravenous - 11/19/2018, 9:42 AM
@seakhan - That sounds and acts pretty much like her? Even if it is, that's pretty poor writing.
seakhan
seakhan - 11/19/2018, 9:21 AM
And could have easily been another tree, not THE whomping willow, right?

The movie was fantastic! It was well directed, had nice plot twists, and was fun. That twist ending was great too. It's honestly the first time I've had that "end of a Star Wars movie" feel in over a decade. It actually makes me want to see the next one, unlike TLJ which made me want to vomit and then stop watching the franchise (which I did). I want to see more of these Fantastic Beast movies.

Also, is it just me or is Grindelwald already way more interesting than Voldy ever was? He's more nuanced and feels more dangerous somehow.
