![]() ![]() He sees Gellert Grindelwald (his ex-friend, possible ex-lover, and now-enemy) staring back at him. ![]() "Crimes of Grindelwald" shows Dumbledore as a young man gazing into the mirror. The Mirror of Erised is a powerful object introduced in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." As Dumbledore explains to Harry, it shows the "deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts." Without a continuation of the Lestrange family line, Rodolphus would never have existed. It's possible that she didn't actually die - but it's also possible that this is just a glaring plot hole. Perhaps Leta has a secret child somewhere, although this seems unlikely, since she shows Newt and the gang her family tree. This clearly suggests that the Lestrange family line has ended.īut, of course, even casual "Harry Potter" fans will remember Bellatrix Lestrange - a member of the Black family who married Death Eater Rodolphus Lestrange and took his esteemed surname. At the end of the movie, she appears to die at the hands of Grindelwald. (The family of Corvus' mother, Clarisse Tremblay, boasts no such reputation, so he must be referring to his Lestrange father.) Indeed, Dumbledore tells Newt that people believe Credence to be the last person in a powerful pure-blood family line. Zoë Kravitz's Leta Lestrange is far more compassionate and sensitive than her Death Eater ancestors.Ī major source of tension in "Crimes of Grindelwald" is the rumor that Credence Barebone is secretly Leta Lestrange's long-lost little brother, Corvus. If she began teaching at Hogwarts in 1956 after working at the Ministry for two years immediately after graduation, this places her graduation in 1954, her first year in 1947, and her birth in 1935.Īdditionally, as we explain here, Minerva McGonagall has the surname of her Muggle father - which makes it impossible that the McGonagall in "Crimes of Grindelwald" is meant to be one of her family members. McGonagall's birth year can be calculated from her Pottermore biography (written by Rowling herself) and from McGonagall's own words in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." She tells Dolores Umbridge that, in 1995, she had been teaching at Hogwarts for 39 years. Newt began as a first-year at Hogwarts in 1908. Dumbledore, who was in the middle of teaching students, told the young wizards to exit the room and follow Professor McGonagall. She also appears, played by Fiona Glascott, in a flashback to when Newt and Leta Lestrange were students at Hogwarts. She first appeared in Dumbledore's classroom. "Crimes of Grindelwald" brought back beloved "Harry Potter" character Minvera McGonagall for two separate scenes, but it doesn't make any sense that she's there. Maggie Smith's Minvera McGonagall is a fan-favorite character. The Unbreakable Vow carries severe, deadly consequences if broken, so it's hard to imagine that anybody would simply disregard Snape (a noted double agent) making a life-or-death promise to anybody. ![]() If the Vow were to leave suspicious scars, as Tina suggests, someone at Hogwarts - or another Death Eater - would have noticed. In "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," Narcissa Malfoy has Severus Snape make an Unbreakable Vow so he will protect her son, Draco. But we have never seen this practice leave any kind of scarring on either party. We know that making an Unbreakable Vow involves grasping another person's right hand while a third person (a "Bonder") uses their wand to weave a stream of fire around the handshake. She notices scars lining his right hand and tells Newt that the markings "suggest an Unbreakable Vow." ![]() In one confusing subplot, newly appointed Auror Tina Goldstein is trying to uncover the identity and motives of a strange wizard, Yusuf Kama. Yusuf Kama (William Nadylam) is a new wizard introduced in "Crimes of Grindelwald." Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. ![]()
