Hey everyone,
Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory,
In today’s video we’re going to be discussing the upcoming and newly titled Fantastic Beasts
film - Fantastic Beasts 3: The Secrets of Dumbledore. I’m coming to you all with news
about the film- and I can’t say that it’s good- because you see, it appears as if a
rather major character MAY have been taken out of the film series.
With the first installment- Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, being released in
2016, and the second installment, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald being released
in 2018, we’ve had a serious shortage of Fantastic Beasts content as of late- which
is why the news that the third film dropping in April of 2022 (at least in North America)
is very welcome.
While still very much within the same wizarding world as Harry Potter, The Fantastic Beasts
films differ in that they follow many different, new characters- some of which are alluded
to in the Harry Potter books and films. However- one of the big differences in the second film
from the first (that I noticed) was that more OLD characters had been re-introduced.
Dumbledore, McGonagall (if it is indeed the SAME McGonagall) ...and a character that THIS
video focuses on.
This video MAY contain a small SPOILER for the film, but I will say that this information
is NOT 100% confirmed, so you may be safe regardless.
Now, with the film being released fairly soon in North America- it should be safe to assume
that filming and production is entirely complete. This means that no more characters can be
added, no more scenes shot. It ALSO means that the final product, that a select LUCKY
few have already witnessed throughout the globe- may actually omit a character that
we know from both film franchises: Nagini.
Now, let me start off by saying that this isn’t CONFIRMED information- this is hearsay
from people who have purportedly already watched a screening of the film. It popped up in my
newsfeed, and when I did some digging I was able to find a few more sources indicating
the same thing.
This news would also line up with the fact that actress Claudia Kim has NOT been confirmed
to be reprising her role, and it also lines up with the fact that neither the film nor
Kim’s IMDB profiles have any indication of her playing NAGINI.
Kim has only been in ONE film so far, the second, and she’s already had quite a big
impact on the story- getting close with Credence who is CENTRAL to the story, so I WONDER what’s
going on here.
We know that later on, once the Harry Potter story’s timeline sets in, that Nagini becomes
a prevalent character- Voldemort’s trusty serpentine companion. She becomes entirely
instrumental in Voldemort’s return to power, and her venom is even used in an elixir that
allows him to rebuild his strength.
But when The Crimes of Grindelwald ended Nagini wasn’t trapped as a snake (the result of
her Maledictus curse)- she was still able to transform in to a woman. She also didn’t
appear to be evil in any way- Crimes of Grindelwald made me feel BAD for Nagini- so, when did
she turn bad? There’s clearly a lot of her story still to tell, and I for one am curious
as to what happens to her in thisvoid between 1927 (when she’s last seen in Crimes of
Grindlewald) and 1994 when she re-appears.
There are also supposed to be FIVE Fantastic Beasts films in total- spanning 1926-1945,
but again- this hasn’t been confirmed either.
What do you guys think? Has Nagini been scrapped? I think she’s a great character and removing
her would do the franchise a great injustice. If she doesn’t appear in Secrets of Dumbledore,
I hope she at least shows up in the next films.
