FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD.

I. AM. SO. STOKED.

One more year, you guys!!!

Jude Law as Dumbledore looks SO GOOD.

I wonder who this guy with the lady next to him is. oo They are sitting kinda next to Newt and the others.

And who's that woman with Credence? XD

So many questions, but I'm so glad to see Jacob again and with Queenie! ♥

Not really haha. They’re all in Achievements.

I’m going to watch the trailer later today. The first movie was awesome. I loved it.

I saw Zoe Kravitz in a promo photo as Leta Lestrange and I’m excited about that. She’s so beautiful and a good actress.

Lol there's a trailer? XD I must have been living under a rock this week... XD

I agree on Leta/Zoë. :D I'm excited what her story is about. We still don't know enough, but Hufflepuff/Slytherin friendship between her and Newt, that's awesome :D

I assumed there was a teaser but I think I’m mistaken?

Definitely looking forward to all of these movies. They really exceeded my expectations and the casting choices are great for the most part.

, Have you guys seen the trailers for the fan made movie about Voldemort?

I'm so stoked! I can't wait the whole year for this. I'm so excited for young Dumbledoreeee.

I think the guy you're referring to is Theseus, Newt's brother?

I've seen the trailers for that. Not sure how I feel about it though, tbh. The special effects look awesome for a fanmade project, but the story so far seems sort of iffy. I'm not going to judge too hard until I've actually seen it though.

, I think it looks good for a fanmade project - They seem to be putting a good amount into it. We all know how it will end though so that always puts a little damper on movies for me.

The one with the actors moving and the scene ending in a black swirl? That was awkward. XD

That makes sense that he's his brother...but he looks sooo different. He reminds me of the Shaw Family from Fantastic Beasts 1. xd

I have and I was so excited for it until they introduced Grisha (what a rare name) McLaggen(oh look we're now using canon names-> Cormac McLaggen) who is descendant/the last descendant of Godric Gryffindor(pulling the Mary Sue card here). :( Seriously, I love the backstory of Voldemort and this fanfilm makes it look so cringy with their OP OC. It's been a few month since I've seen the trailer but if I remember correctly, Grisha lady said something about trying to bring the good in Tom back...which...ew. I'm pretty sure they will even say they were in a relationship which makes no sense at all... And after all, we know the outcome of the story and Grisha won't succeed, so she seems just so useless and uncalled for. xD Geez, sorry for the rant, but I've been so excited first about this movie and then this. XD I've always wanted to see Tom's backstory on screen since it was cut from the official movies.

I don't mind so much knowing how movies will end, usually. The journey from beginning to end is still mostly unknown, so it'll still be fun. ^-^

That's exactly how I feel! I think Grisha is totally unnecessary, and the film would've been better off just focusing on Tom and other already established characters. I'm hoping so hard they don't try to pair her and Tom off as a couple because... just why. haha

Right? There was so much room to focus on Tom's journey alone..they could have started immediately after he left Hogwarts and even show a flashback of what happened when he went to Little Hangleton to trace back his family.

I sooo hope they don't pair them up, too. But I have a really bad feeling about this.

I haven't seen that. Voldemort has an interesting backstory for sure though. A standalone story about him would be cool. The HP movie flashbacks have intrigued me in general.

I just saw it, and it is awkward haha.

I feel like Cursed Child is really fanfiction-y even though Rowling had personal input. Not interested in that story unless I get to see it on Broadway, but it's seriously expensive and I think I'd rather spend the money on Hamilton if I ever got an option either way. [edit] You got a forum point while making a post! Check out the shop here!

Glad I'm not the only one. xd

It definitely is. When I've read Cursed Child just after release, I was devastated and confused by the story - mostly for being so fanfiction-y like written by a teenage girl. However, the play itself is really good and I loved it. The actors were amazing and I especially loved Hermione, Scorpius, Al and Delphi. c: When Al was saying at the beginning with the Granger-Weasleys at Platform 9 3/4 he said 'Everytime we meet, we cause a scene and people are staring at us. It's so embarassing!' ( I think Ron was making a joke). And I must say, in this moment I related to Al on a deeper level because unwanted attention is just so awful. XD

Yet, if I wouldn't have been in London, I wouldn't have got tickets for it. It was kind of a spontanous action when I wanted to visit MinaLima and decided to just ask for tickets for CC on the weekend. xd Spend your money on what you consider more worthy! C:

and congrats on the forum point =D

The topic is locked, so I'm replying to you here.

My favorite thing I've cooked is ratatouille, or more specifically confit byaldi like in the Disney movie. The best thing I bake is probably my pumpkin pie. I really like making pie. What about you? Do you ever watch The Great British Baking Show?

YouTube has great beginner crochet resources if you want me to link you to any. 😊

Omg! Did you get to see Noma Dumezweni play Hermione? c:

Oooh, pumpkin pie is my mom's favorite thing to bake as well. ^-^ I think my favorite thing to make is cupcakes, but it's funny because I don't much care for eating them. haha I feel like cupcakes are just so versatile with what you can do with ingredients and decorations, so it's fun to experiment. I made strawberry shortcake cupcakes once that were a hit with everyone!

I've seen a couple episodes of TGBBS, but I don't really follow it closely. One of my good friends watches it though, so I hear a lot about it from her. I'd love to watch it eventually, but I have to just find the time!

And if you have any recommendations for crochet tutorials, I'd love to hear them! I'll save them for future reference, so I can give it another go. C:

Cupcakes are fun. Strawberry shortcake ones sound delicious.

Crocheting 101: How to Crochet for Complete Beginners looks like a good place to start.

Love your Marcia HA. c:

No, I saw the second cast. Hermione was played by Rakie Ayola. But she was an amazing Hermione! =D Her voice was clear and full of power and emotion, loved that. Rose was kinda annoying though, but I guess she inherited her 'know it all'-side from her mother. xd

Your HA is lovely! What's the name of the beautiful background? :D

I love how the guy in that video said a "full-fledged hooker" with a completely straight face. haha I can see those being very helpful though, so thank you for the link! :'D

And thank you~ Your HA is stunning. ^-^ I love the contrast of the light from the wand and the rest of the HA. c:

That sounds really good. I love going to the theater too. West End productions are amazing.

Thanks, it’s the Enchanted Chateau Garden.

There is so much “hooker” merch for crocheters lol. You’re very welcome! Feel free to ask me if you need help.

Thank you! The last CW I bought is the sweater you have on. It’s so cute. c:
