As "fantastic creature: a crime Green de Wald" groundbreaking "Harry Potter"
Cinema / / December 19, 2019
The story of a magical biologist Newt Scamander, his bumbling Muggle friend Jacobs, sisters Tina and Quinn, as well as the ascent of the dark mage Green de Wald, who is preparing a coup, has expanded the universe of "Harry Potter" and once again suffered the audience into the world of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
At the same time, "Crimes Green de Wald" did not receive the highest ratings from critics and audiences. Many have noted the weakness of the plot and storylines saturation, due to which the film as a if there is no main character, as well as the lack of clarity - at once is not easy to understand what is happening in stories.
However, we do not talk about it, and how freely the new picture is drawn from the books and events in the Harry Potter films. While Warner Brothers studio in a hurry to remove another series, Harry Potter fans are outraged meticulous with how a new film ignores the important details of the canon.
Creedence may not be the brother of Albus Dumbledore
Most interest and doubt is the final, where Green de Wald Creedence says that throughout history I am trying to understand their origin, that he really is the brother of Dumbledore, and his real name - Aurelius.
Not the most attentive viewers might think that we are talking about the brother of Dumbledore, who secretly lived in Hogsmeade and helped Dumbledore's Army in the movie "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." However, it was another "official" brother - Aberforth. Also Albus Dumbledore had a younger sister, Ariana. But on the fourth sibling one before and never heard.
From books and official resource for potteriane Pottermore, Which are laid out additional materials and biographies of the characters are well enough known about the Dumbledore family.
In 1891 they had an accident. Neighbor boy-muggles, noticing how little Ariana conjures in the yard, decided to elicit exactly how it does it, and, according to Aberforth, tell the story of Harry, Ron and Hermione, "a little carried away." Seeing the boys beat and tortured her daughter, a father Percival Dumbledore severely punished them in a fit of rage. Ariana by experienced corrupted mind and forgot how to control their magical powers, and Percival for attacking Muggles imprisoned in Azkaban prison guarded by Dementors.
And in 1899, the mother of the family, maglorozhdonnaya witch Kendra Dumbledore, Ariana died of hand, that after the attack, was subject to fits of uncontrolled outbursts of magical powers. Kendra hardly had time to give birth Creedence-Aurelius: firstly, there is no mention of her pregnancy, Second, the event "Crimes Green de Wald" take place in 1927, and therefore should be as Creedence at least 28. In the film, he looks much younger - a young man, almost a teenager. So, at the moment of his birth Kendra was already dead.
In theory Creedence could be the son of Percival Dumbledore and some unknown woman. However, since that ill-fated year when Ariana received a trauma, Percival was imprisoned in Azkaban, where he later died. It is unlikely that local Dementors provide an opportunity for romantic meetings, and it is strange to imagine that the prisoner was engaged in something similar.
For all these reasons, Creedence can not be Dumbledore's brother (at least if we understand these common parents).
Either this is a very rough scenic defect or Green de Wald lied.
Most likely, the dark wizard really drives the boy's nose, to somehow set it against Albus. As for Phoenix, which appears as if in confirmation of the words Green de Wald, these creatures are not only members of Dumbledore family. For example, Fawkes flew to the rescue Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secrets.
Even if Green de Wald lies, the next false information about the origin of Creedence already looks like a bad joke: too often it was repeated throughout the film, and too strange to hear just such a lie in the light of the family tragedy Dumbledore. History of Albus, Aberforth and Ariana - a well-established part of the canon of "Harry Potter" and the fans even do it on the basis of their own movies. For example, this story concerns the film "Lord Voldemort: roots heir» ( «Voldemort: Origins of the Heir»), furnished studio Tryangle Films on donations.
If we assume that Creedence - Albus's brother, Aberforth, and Ariana, it is unclear how and why he got on the ship, which we show in the film. He was sent there immediately after Kendra's death? Who was the woman who was with child? Answers to these questions is no, and it is unclear whether they will be convincing enough in the next film.
Minerva McGonagall was not yet born
When the film is transferred to Hogwarts in the frame appears briefly Minerva McGonagall. Dumbledore addresses her by name and asked to bring the students out of class. One audience liked this episode, because the appearance of familiar characters in a familiar environment - it's always nice fanservis. However, corrosive fans were outraged.
Recall that the action takes place in 1927, and Minerva McGonagall already working at Hogwarts. Whereas in the books of the "Harry Potter" is mentioned, it was the only teacher in 1956, before that worked for two years at the Ministry of Magic, where talented girl came immediately after school. Hogwarts young British wizards available in about 18 years. It turns out that Minerva was born in 1935 or 1936.
On the page of Minerva on Pottermore list only her birthday on October 4, but the year is not, even though the other characters present. Some fans believe that information has been removed from the site when Professor McGonagall decided to include in the new movie franchise.
No adequate explanation as to how it happened that the professor was in Hogwarts even before his birth, not yet.
Most in this situation, do not even bother factual error, and its meaninglessness. Minerva show only a glimpse, she has no meaningful action, and its appearance no matter what no effect. It looks as if the character was introduced in the film only to the audience felt the momentary recognition.
Dumbledore did not teach defense against the dark forces
The scene filmed in the same class in which the professor taught Lockhart and Professor Lupine, and Dumbledore is doing about the same as that of Lupine the third part of "Harry Potter": offers students fight a Boggart - a ghost that turns into what people are most fears. It turns out that Dumbledore - a teacher protection against dark forces (Z.O.T.S.).
In the canon of Dumbledore before he became director of the school, she taught Transfiguration - a magical transformation of some science subjects in the other. This is all the more strange when you consider that when he was a student at Hogwarts, Harry Potter taught Transfiguration Minerva McGonagall. It is not clear what kind of thing in the world "Fantastic creatures" leads Minerva, if they have a specialization with Dumbledore.
Anyway, in the books and the previous films I never mentioned that Dumbledore was a teacher Z.O.T.S. Apparently, the scene decided to include just because of her recognition (many remember as Neville Longbottom put Professor Snape Boggart turning into my grandmother's hat) and to show fear Newt and Lita Lestrange.
Why does Rowling
One would assume that the "Fantastic creature" and all their possible flaws - on the conscience of the company Warner Brothers. However, the reality is a bit more complicated. JK Rowling personally worked on the script for "Crimes Green de Wald" and had sufficient control over what happens in the movie. Her influence on the new franchise is stronger than in the film adaptation of "Harry Potter", which writers were other people.
Work on the book somewhat different from working on a screenplay, which should be a balance between the needs of the scenario and the technical side of the issue. When the scenario of the slack, scenes of the film seems unreasonable, tightened or, on the contrary, crumpled, fateful decisions in the blink of an eye, and optional subjects are tightened. There is reason to think that the scenario work is given to the writer is not very good.
However, most of the issues it raises neglect Joanne Rowling with Canon's own books. The writer has repeatedly said in an interview that the universe is "Harry Potter" is broader than what was included in the book, and was thought out in advance for many years to come. Most likely, Rowling disingenuous: notably, that the story is more complicated from book to book the flight because of its imagination, the scale problem grows along with the characters, and twists along the invented actions.
So somewhere Rowling may just be wrong in fact. Another thing is that she does not like to admit mistakes, coming up with elaborate explanations. Sometimes they are discouraging, for example, in the case of race Hermione. It turned out that the girl was originally conceived black, and even the ability to refute this evidence from the text did not prevent the writer.
Maybe, in the script of the new film Rowling somehow explain plot holes the last part. However, this can only hope.
