Harry. Potter's "Brothers" series "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" has completed two films, the previous one grossed nearly 600 million, and this "Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald" was released on November 16, and the first weekend box office reached 259 million, surpassing the previous game is certain.
The Western wizarding world constructed by the author J.K. Rowling is very large, and there are many characters. Seen "Harry. Audiences in the Potter series will have a relatively easy time watching Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and those who have not seen it will not be able to see the "Easter eggs" in the film.
However, as far as the story is concerned, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is established on its own, otherwise it will be necessary to supplement 7 Harry Potters before watching it. Potter, that amount of work is also too large.
In this article, we will use "keywords" as Easter eggs to see the two "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
1. Timeline: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them takes place in Harry Potter. Potter", about 70 years before this time, Albus. Dumbledore was also a handsome uncle.
2. Newt: The male protagonist of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" played by "Little Freckles", the full name is Newt. Scamander. In Harry. In Potter, Harry had a "textbook" in their class, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", which was Newt's work. The "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series of movies is actually about the birth process of this "textbook".
In addition, Newt himself is also an "Easter egg", and the author has used the phrase "Newt. Scarman", who wrote "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", Newt actually wrote Harry Potter. The author of the Potter series is a metaphor for himself.
3. Muggles and Muggles: Both are the names of wizards for "ordinary people who can't do magic", in the "Harry. Potter is called Muggle in "Muggle" and in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. "Mak" can be seen as a term for ordinary people in the New York wizarding world, because even Newt was confused when he first heard it, and then said, "Oh, we call them Muggles." Jacob in the film is the "Muggle."
4. Auror: Tina, who is in love with Newt, and Newt's brother are both "Aurors". The Aurors are elite wizards with "establishments" and have the duty to maintain order for two terms, somewhat like "policemen".
5. Grindelwald: Once Dumbledore's best friend, he later became an evil Dark Wizard, intent on allowing pure-blood wizards to rule the world and make the Muggles slaves. Similar to Voldemort, he was voldemort's predecessor.
6. Why Grindelwald and Dumbledore broke up: Dumbledore's brother was at odds with Grindelwald, and the two men fought once, and Dumbledore joined in order to dissuade him, but accidentally led to the death of Dumbledore's sister Oriana. This is where Dumbledore says, "I died my sister."
7. Why didn't Dumbledore come forward to deal with Grindelwald: In the film, Grindelwald is very powerful, so Dumbledore can match it, but he does not shoot. Among them, in addition to the old love of the two people, it is the restriction of the "blood oath".
Dumbledore and Grindelwald had made a "blood oath" vowing never to hurt each other. In the film, Grindelwald carries with him two drops of blood from the "little silver pot", which is their own blood. At the end, Sniff stole the "Silver Pot of Blood Oath" back, and Dumbledore said that he might destroy it.
Newt appears in the film around 1927, and in 1945, Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald.
8. Magic Mirror: There is a magic mirror in the film that can illuminate the human heart, and what appears inside is the thing that your heart desires the most. What Dumbledore saw in the mirror was Grindelwald, Harry. What Potter saw in the mirror were his parents.
9、 Rita. Lestrange: The girl Newt once liked, born from "Harry. The notorious "Lestrange family" in Potter, so he was ostracized when he was in magic school. But she did not follow Grindelwald because of this, but resisted him head-on, and as a result...
10. Theseus. Scudman: Newt's older brother, also the "Auror", has not been very harmonious between the two brothers, and Newt said that he "likes to hug people". At the end of the film, the brothers join forces against Grindelwald, thus eliminating the barrier, and finally Newt takes the initiative to hug his brother.
11. Credence: A boy that Grindelwald has worked hard to woo, and is also the main character of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. He first appeared in the New Salem Charity Society, also known as the Second Salem, which regarded wizards as sworn enemies and whose symbol was "Breaking the Wand".
Adopted Credence's "adoptive mother" Mary. Ka is the head of the Charity Society, who hates wizards and is very disgusted with the silent and reclusive Credence, and often scolds him.
Credence has become an extremely powerful "Silent Master" in the front, ending up surrounded by wizards and luckily not dying, living in hiding in a circus. In "The Crimes of Grindelwald", desperate for affection and love, he continues to pursue his family.
12. The Silent Master and the Silent Beast: The Silent Master is also called the "Silent One", and when the magician deliberately suppresses the magical ability in the body and is treated unfairly for a long time, he will form a self-conscious dark force in the body, such as Credence, which is the "Silent Beast", also known as "Silence".
If the "silent" "silent" who gives birth to the body still resists this force, the "silent" will swallow up the consciousness of the "silent person" and fully control his body.
13. Tina and Queenie: A pair of magician sister flowers, Tina is the kind of personality who is extremely serious about doing things, and the dress is also neutral, and newt has a relationship in the first part, and continues to fall in love in this film;
Queenie is Tina's younger sister, has the ability to "read minds" and falls in love with "Muggle" Jacob. But because the magician could not marry ordinary people, Jacob did not want her to be punished by the magical world, so he was reluctant to marry her. Queenie became resentful and was induced by Grindelwald to join the Dark Wizards.
14、 Nick. Flamel: In Harry. Potter is the answer to the question that Harry and the three of them are looking for, an alchemist. Harry they later passed the Chocolate Frog and found Nick. Flamel was the one who smelted the Philosopher's Stone.
Because it's the alchemist, Nick. Flamel can live forever, but not without age. In the film, he is old and fragile, and Jacob's slightly stronger handshake sounds like Nick. Flamel almost broke his bones. At the end of the film, Nick has not fought for more than 200 years. Flamel became the "backbone" of Newt's side, leading them to work together to defeat the fire left by Grindelwald.
15. Nagini: The Nagini played by South Korean actor Kim So-hyun in the film is "Harry. Voldemort's giant viper in Potter is also Voldemort's Horcrux.
She was originally a circus actress, and because of the blood curse, she could transform into a giant viper. In this film, she can also change between the forms of people and snakes, and in the back, she can only appear in the form of a viper, and later she is affected by Nawei. Longbottom killed.
After talking about the characters and timeline in the film, here is the turning dividing line of "Fantastic Beasts", since it is "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the animals in it are the protagonists, right? In the two Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, there are nearly 30 kinds of animals, but many of them are flashes, and I try to count them all.
The serial number continues above:
16. Sniff: A small black snouted animal that steals Grindelwald and Dumbledore's "Blood Oath Silver Pot" in the film.
The prototype of sniffing is the "echidna", which is paranoid about all shiny things. In the upper part, it stole gold coins, diamond jewelry, even the decorative diamonds on the shoes of women, and also went into the bank vault to steal. The stolen things will be hidden in the abdomen, so small body does not know how to hide, in the front, Newt is very funny when he carries it upside down and shakes the "stolen goods" outside.
In this film, there is also a litter of small babies, including a black and white, "young" greedy nature has been revealed.
17. Tree Protector: It is the small thing in Newt's pocket that has two small leaves and looks like a branch. They only live on trees that can make magic wands, feed on insects, and have the skill of "unlocking", which is the lock that Newt opens when they are trapped underground.
18. Siwu: An oriental sacred beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, a tiger of all sizes, with a tail longer than a body, good at running, and only eats animals that die of its own, so it is called "benevolent beast". The Donkey Kong in the film basically meets the characteristics of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but the shape is too similar to the oriental "lion dance", and the deformed front paws are also difficult to say.
19. Phoenix: In these years of film and television works, the phoenix has become a sacred beast common to the East and the West. The phoenix in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was raised by Credence, originally a small chick, and Grindelwald made it larger to reveal the appearance of a phoenix.
The Phoenix is here the guardian beast of the Dumbledores, appearing whenever they need it. Harry. Potter is Professor Dumbledore's "pet", but in this film he first appears on Credence's side, revealing that he is probably a member of Dumbledore's family.
And Grindelwald gave him a new name "Oriles. Dumbledore".
20 Kappa: There is a kappa in the circus in this film. It is not wrong to say in the film that the kappa is Japanese. In fact, China also has it, called "water tiger", "water monkey", the appearance of the two is also similar, the top of the lid, the back of the hard shell, the whole body hard scales, green color. Legend has it that the cap on the top of the kappa's head cannot be short of water, and once the water runs out, it will lose its strength. Because there are three anuses, kappa can also use "fart" as a weapon, and because it is very horny, so girls are very afraid of it, some time ago in the "Kamakura Story" in the heroine heard kappa panic.
21, Bu Bird: Looks like an owl, with a few tall hairs on its head. The real-life bird is native to Ireland and Great Britain and is known as the "Irish Phoenix".
22 Elk: The large animal Jacob saw in Newt's basement should be the elk of the wizarding world.
23, horse-shaped water monster: the new animal character in this film, a large magical animal living in the water, full of "kelp", fierce temperament, once bit the lady who helped Newt take care of the animals (sorry, forgot her name), even Newt had to play 18 times the spirit of the water.
24. Magda Cat: The library's "watch cat", covered in black, very fierce, can split more when attacked, Newt They all rely on Siwu to escape. After leaving the wizarding world, they will turn into skinny stray cats and have little attack power.
25. Raven: It is the "clan emblem" animal of the Lestrange family, and is actually the largest bird in the order Magpie, with a total of 12 subspecies, also known as the "fat-headed bird".
Further down, it is mainly the animals that appear in the front part, and relatively speaking, there are more "magical animals" in the front part.
26. Thunderbird: A huge six-winged, two-tailed magic bird (two pairs of back wings are relatively small), can launch thunderstorm weather, is the standard "God Bird" level. At the end of the first part, Newt has Frank the Thunderbird rain down a heavy rain with a venom that can erase people's bad memories, erasing the terrifying memories of New Yorkers of the wizarding world.
27 Horned Camel: In the upper part, Jacob was frightened when he first saw it. The huge, suspected hard "armor" is fierce and aggressive, with a tail like an elongated crocodile tail and tentacles on its mouth, which is also a tool they use to greet.
28. Sac Poison Leopard: The appearance is very short, and he stands on the rock and yells. The venom sac in the neck swells up, much like the mane of a lion. The sac leopard is large and can also spew poisonous gas, and its combat effectiveness is very amazing.
29. Moon Beast: A cute beast with big eyes, I suspect that the prototype is an alpaca. It is said that their temperament is very shy, and their dung is silver, which is the best flower fertilizer of magic plants.
30. Mortra rat: A ferocious rat with many whiskers? Lizards? The upper part bits Jacob as soon as he appears. The Mortra Rat has a "tumor" on its back, which can be eaten after concocting it to help wizards increase their resistance to evil spells.
31, Billy Wegger worm: a blue, look like a big bee bug, about an inch or more, Newt once lied to people around him said that it is a "big moth", will sting people, people will be stung by it will be dizzy, it is said to float up.
32, Butterfly Wing Demon: also translated as Curled Wing Demon, looks like a large colored bat, venom can make people forget bad things, and the last Thunderbird uses rain to spread its venom. In addition to this, attack power is also available, and Newt has used it to get out of trouble and use it to save Tina from the death table.
33. Poisonous Horned Beast: Looks like a rhinoceros, the one horn on the head has poisonous liquid, and it looks like it has stored a lot of magma charcoal. It can resist most spells, the unicorn is indestructible, and its venom can make people explode.
34. Stealth Beast: Looks like a white ape, can be invisible, and can also foresee a short future.
35, bird snake: a strange snake hatched from the eggshell of sterling silver, with a head like a bird, a body like a snake, covered with feathers, a pair of wings, the body can change with the size of the space, like to eat insects.
36. Shell Lang: The important extras in the front part, much larger than the ordinary shell lang, Jacob and Newt in the space in the box, they constantly push the big dung ball around as a background.
37, Pu Rongrong: A magical animal that Newt wants to buy in the front, looks like a pompom of different colors, is a very cute "cleaner", eats everything, leftovers, and will help people remove snot.
38 Ostrich: When Newt and Jacob went to look for the poisonous horned beast in heat, an ostrich ran in front of them, with a strong pace and a light posture, but it should not be a magical animal.
39. Magic Lizard: The wings are very beautiful, and they look like butterflies when they fly in the sky.
40. A "magic chicken" with a red belly and blue feathers, which can move over short distances when attacked.
41. Night Horse: At the beginning of the film, when the Ministry of Magic escorts Grindelwald, it is used to drive the vehicle, with wings like bats, skinny but powerful, able to run in the air and water. I named it "Batwing Pegasus" myself.
For the "magical animals" statistics in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" are here, I hope that these 41 "Easter eggs" can help you understand the movie more comprehensively.
Although the magical creatures in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" are very peculiar, for the Chinese people, the most important thing we have is "magical animals". A "Classic of Mountains and Seas" can be eaten all over the sky, such a huge material library, I hope that our film and television workers can make the best use of it, so that our own culture can bloom.
