The Secrets of Dumbledore could literally apply to any story he's in because refusing to tell Harry about thing is his biggest character trait.

Dumbledore and Newt are going to go undercover in Grindelwald's wizard communist party, and it's going to end with Newt getting shot trying to climb back across the wizard Berlin Wall.

It had completely left my mind till now that the big twist ending of 2 was that Ezra Miller was a secret Dumbledore. Why does this matter? :shrug: maybe that's the secret.

Mads Mikkelsen, who is going to bring entirely too much to this trainwreck. There were a ton of "rumor is this thing is an unmitigated disaster" headlines a while back but I haven't seen a followup and I'm disappointed that nobody's willing to dish.

I've made it up to the first Deathly Hallows film and, well, is there some in-universe explanation for why they had to the Potter decoy death race deal?

Was there some wizard shield around the wizard taliban's wizard house that was keeping the vastly superior (in numbers and ability) wizard gestapo from just storming the place?

I think the protection on the Dursley's House is super strong but runs out when Harry turns 18, and the protection on the Burrow is also super strong but once the ministry falls it won't be strong enough.

It's never explained afaik. The books seem to want to have it both ways and just quietly ignore the issue

Yeah Jude Law's casting / performance is one of the few bits of the second film that is unambiguously good.

I like Dan Fogler when he's not the victim of sexual abuse

e: might be the only guy in Rowling canon who learns witches and wizards exist, and instead of becoming a magic racist, goes "holy poo poo this is awesome, do a spell at me!"

A thing about no secondary education in the wizarding world is that it makes it kind of awkward when someone decides to become a teacher since they have received no training for it.

No wonder all of Harry's teachers sucked at their jobs and he barely learned anything.

Fitwick ignored the bullying going on in his House in regards to Luna. So no, he was not good at his job.

To be fair, stopping bullying does not seem to be part of the job in Hogwarts, so that doesn't count against them.

And that's why Hogwarts is a such poo poo school.

Its only a matter of time before a student goes postal and starts throwing around Unforgivables and you end up having aurors called in for a mass shooting.

So Muggleborns have to be hosed when it comes to job prospects after graduating, right? Between the ministry being in the pockets of rich racists like Lucius Malfoy and needing a connection to someone influential like Dumbledore, Slughorn or Harry in the epilogue to land you a position, trying to find a decent-paying job must be even more discouraging than normal. I don't think we've even met a Muggleborn in the books that had a solid career or anything.

There's probably a statistic of disillusioned Muggleborns quitting the wizarding world out of disgust and can only get lovely retail jobs because wizards don't do secondary education.
