As I've been getting ready for the
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them panel
for Comic Con, I've also been getting really excited for the movie in
November! In fact, it's led to me reread the (text)book and to write a
few blog posts about the upcoming films.
Here's the first one.
#1 -- Newt gives Dumbledore his Phoenix.
Please!
I need to see this! Dumbledore is the only professor who believed Newt
shouldn't be expelled. How cool would it be if we could see the story of
how Dumbledore got Fawkes? And Newt gave it to him? This definitely has some great, touching potential.
#2 -- Fantastic Beasts being Used to Battle the Antagonist and Help Newt (there will be death . . . probably.)
Not only is it cool that Newt has all these fantastic beasts with him, but I
need
to see him putting them to clever use. Is Percival the Auror chasing him? Use a Crup to nip at his ankles and slow him. Need to find something shiny? Use a Niffler to find it.
Need to reach something up high? Use the Swooping Evil to get it. We all
loved when Hedwig attacked the Death Eater in the
Deathly Hallows
movie, so give us more. And maybe . . . maybe . . . if we feel like
having our hearts wrenched out (and we won't admit to it, but we kind of
do) show one of Newt's loyalist beasts sacrificing itself to save him.
Or, if the antagonist is pure evil, the antagonist killing it (which
makes me already hate the hypothetical guy).
