Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
We have finally received the long awaited trailer for the second fantastic beasts movie.
Of coruse the first time around we consumed it fervently, but the second time we gave
it a go we noticed some little things that are easy to miss, but oh so very important.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 EASTER EGGS and things you missed in FANTASTIC BEASTS
the crimes of Grindelwald TRAILER.
In the number 10 spot, THESTRALS.
The thestrals are a breed of skeletal horses that can only be viewed by those who have
played witness to death.
We are introduced to them in the order of the phoenix and itÕs only natural to catch
a glimpse of them pulling a chariot in a movie thatÕs centered around fantastic beasts.
So whether they play a larger role in this movie or itÕs just a nod to the misunderstood
but noble creatures, we will find out.
Next, at number 9, THE MALEDICTUS.
A maledictus is a person whose blood carries a curse that will eventually turn them into
a beast of some sort.
We do catch glimspes of oen in the trailer, but itÕs easy to miss unless youÕve done
a little prior research.
Actress Claudia Kim plays the role of the unidentified maledictus, and thereÕs a theory
floating around that she may also be the snake girl of the circus arcanus.
Which means she may possibly become Nagini, voldemortÕs loyal serpent.
All theory of course, but the fact that her name is hidden is indeed suspicious.
In the number 8 spot, APARATING.
Right at the beginning of the trailer, we notice some officials of the ministry of magic,
magically appearing on the grounds of Hogwarts to deal with very important matters.
But yet isnÕt there an age-old rule that you canÕt apparate to Hogwarts?
So conveniently forgotten plot hole or will the movie expand on this rule and maybe explain
why it exists in the first palce?
Up at number 7, THE STUDENTS IN THE HOGWARTS WINDOW.
Though we donÕt get a good look at the kids who are stealing glances as the ministry of
magic walks by, the scene seems to hold some kind of significance and itÕs entirely possible
that it could develop into something more.
Who are these students?
Perhaps they are people we already know, back in the day.
I know, who puts a potential Easter egg in a video about easter eggs and things you;ve
missed, what kind of people are we.
But seriously, this could be something, so keep your eyes open.
Coming in at number 6, LETA LESTRANGE.
The pure blooded lestrange family played a large roe in the Harry potter franchise, and
here they are showing their faces again.
More specifically in the form of Leta Lestrange, Newt ScammanderÕs prior love interest.
And who also ended up engaged to his brother, Theseus, who isnÕt in the same scene.
ItÕs also super exciting to see that she will be played by Zoe Kravitz, meaning she
is a woman of color in a predominantly white cast.
But what is the movieÕs plan with her, why is she back, and more importantly, whose side
is she on?
Next up, at number 5, THE HIPPOCAMPUS.
Not the brain region if you were thinking that.
Although I feel like maybe I was the only one who was.
The hippocampus is a half horse, half fish creature, and a model of one was constructed
to be an ice sculpture for the goblet of fireÕs Yule ball.
However, the prop was too large for its purpose and was ultimately scrapped.
Now in the trailer, we see a kid, maybe even a young Newt, astride what looks like a type
of hippocampus underwater.
It remain to be seen what exactly this creature is and its significance.
Up next at number 4, DUMBLEDOREÕS QUOTE.
One line in the trailer that held a lot of gravity was when Dumbledore said, ÔI canÕt
move against GrindelwaldÓ.
Now w eare left with the question, well, why not?
Unti you remember, oh ya, these two used to be best friends, and according to JK rowling
after the fact, more than just friends.
So does this quote mean weÕre going to see more of that supposed relationship, or is
it just a little nod to the hopefuls?
Of course there are about a hundred other reasons Dumbledore may be unable to take action.
But come on, toss a bone here.
In the number 3 spot, DELUMINATORS.
One thing that made an appearance is something we remember from way back to the absolute
beginning of the harry potter franchise: the deluminators, which can be used to pull lights
from external sources among other uses.
The deluminator was also handed down to Ron Weasley after DumbledoreÕs death, and now
itÕs popped up in fantastic beasts.
Nice to see a familiar tool amidst all the new stuff being thrown our way.
Coming in at number 2, CLASSROOM 3C.
If you thought the room where the ministry of magic confronts Dumbledore looks familiar,
you are 100% correct.
WeÕve spent a lot of time in this room, and a lot of bad stuff has passed through.
ItÕs room 3C, the defense against the dark arts classroom.
So either the film used the room for some other purpose, or thereÕs a reason a transfiguration
professor is standing at the head of the defense against the dark arts class room.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, THE MOVIE LOGO.
The greatest little easter egg was right under our noses.
They always are.
If you take a second look at the logo that spells out Fantastic Beasts, The Crimes of
Grindelwald, you will notice three familiar symbols.
These are the deathly hallows, with the elder wand making up the I, the resurrection stone
making up the G and the invisibility cloak making up the A. So the deathly hallows and
the power they come with may play a big part in this installation and the next few movies.
So those were the top 10 THINGS YOU MISSED IN FANTASTIC BEASTS 2 TRAILER.
Let me know in the comment section down below who you want facts on next.
