    This Wizard terrorist unleashes Armageddon on NYC with a suitcase full of WMDs. Ban all Wizards.

    First Harry and now this dude. Why are there no wizards that look badass or intimidating?

    You mean protagonists? I thought Gary Oldman did a pretty good job looking badass and intimidating in the Harry Potter movies.

    I was thinking someone like The Rock or Chris Hemsworth if the character requires a British accent. Or maybe Jason Statham.

    Americans don't use "muggle" to describe people who can't use magic, btw. They use "no-majs".

    While I ****ing despise Rowling for being a hard Remainer during the EU-referendum and allowing black Hermoine, this movie being a period piece is interesting. Still, I can feel like this is the superior American set Potter movie:

    Before I go check this out later tonight, I just wanted to say I thought this was a terrible title for a movie. It did nothing to get me to want to go see it. but I trust in this Harry Potter stuff.

    The title is based on a text book the students used at Hogwarts.

    Nonetheless... I think he's right.

    Fantastic Beasts would have been fine and got the point across the same way.

    You guys like the twist? People in the crowd grasp and even some cheered. It was pretty sweet. The person next to me uttered a "Woah."

    I think the next films will revolve around Dumbledoor and Grindewald. Hopefully with all connecting back to Harry Potter.
