Hey, brother! J, you know what's weird?
Is that the best Harry Potter movie doesn't even involve Harry Potter at all.
Yeah, I said it. Fantastic Beasts is easily the best Harry Potter movie. I mean do you even remember that Erumpent dance scene?
Do you even recognize, the like, amount of acting talent involved to pull this scene off without it seeming weird?
I mean okay, so maybe it is a little bit weird, but he makes it seem like it's so normal for his character
So I like it. But in fairness
I do feel a little odd saying Fantastic Beasts is the best Harry Potter movie, since of course, no Harry
But I have been doing a little bit of research, and it turns out, we may just spot Harry in the next film
*intro plays*
Hey, brother!
Okay, who is ready to talk time turners you see? It's just a simple matter of-- No, no, no! It is not--
No, it is not time turners. *mutters* (Freaking time turners.) No, that is not how this may be possible
But it is possible and the one thing I do want to address is that I understand that the title of this video is like
understandably click-baity, but stick with me. Okay, so one of the central themes, in case you somehow didn't notice of
*sounding out acronym of title* F-Fu-Fbwatif
FBAWTFT! *muttering* (The title of this movie is way too long) one of the central themes of the movie is the muggle or No-maj
relationships. It comes up over and over and over again.
"At least tell me you took care of the No-maj.
You have a rather backwards laws about relations with non-magic people. Who does this law protect?
A magical community is exposed." So it's not
super subtle
I mean, heck, Grindelwald, like the key villain of this entire series, like main
objective is to wage war against the non magical community. And honestly I can see how he might be able to get a lot of
followers.
I mean for one, the second Salemers are an organization basically with the exact opposite objective. Like, if they started getting many followers at all
I imagine that would not be hard for the magical community to kind of turn on the no-mags (no magics).
Well let's face it, that organization is never Going to get off the ground.
I mean, this woman like must be Umbridge's mom like not an adoptive mom, but like her actual mom. They like share genetic material.
I don't have anything to back it up, but I am 100% sure. But anyway, Fantastic Beasts takes place in
1926, immediately following World War One, where wizarding governments basically
Forbid the Involvement in the muggle war. The minister for magic at the time, Archer Evermonde, actually passed specific legislation
Forbidding wizard Involvement in World War One, in fear that it would have mass
Infractions of the international statute of secrecy. Although we know that many wizards did help out anyway
and we actually know one of those wizards, none other than at Newt Scamander's brother, Theseus.
"Theseus Scamander,
The war hero?"
"No, this is his little brother." By the way super interesting that his name is Theseus because in Greek mythology
Theseus is the one who slayed the minotaur. Which is generally seem to be a rather heroic act, although
I have a feeling would be seen kind of differently by his fantastic beast-loving brother.
I suppose we will find out either way as Theseus is set to appear in the next Fantastic Beasts movie and this is precisely
why I think
we may see Harry Potter. But in order to understand how that might happen we first need to understand the Potter family tree.
Harry is of course the son of James and Lily Potter. Lily, of course is muggle-born. So there's not that far
we need to go back in that particular direction,
but James, on the other hand, is pureblood. Pureblood, and yet the name Potter is not
found on the list of the sacred 28, the list that
supposedly, it contains all of the names of all of the pure blood witch and wizarding families in the world.
And how are they missing from that list? Well,
we'll come back to that later,
but have you ever wondered why Harry had to go to the Dursleys after James and Lily died?
I mean, after all they were still fairly young, like how unlucky was Harry that he also didn't have any
grandparents. Well James is the son of Fleamont and Euphemia Potter. Fleamont is the worst name ever because it's
FLEAMONT. Personally if I was named Fleamont
I probably would just give up and drop out of umpire school or something. Long story short
He obviously got picked on quite a bit in school because of his name
but became an excellent duelist as a result. He also invented Sleekeasy's hair potion which
Quadrupled the Potter family fortune, click the card for like a full description on how Harry is so rich.
But it's not driving the worst name ever, getting picked on in school, and quadrupling the family fortune
he also was unable to have a child for the better part of his life until later on when him and his wife were surprised
and had James. And then shortly after he married Lily, both of his parents died of dragon pox. But back to the name FLEAMONT.
Ugh, how does a parent do that to their child. In a weird turn of events, It is actually his grandmother's fault.
Fleamont´s father's mother, Iolanthe
Potter...'s dying wish...was for her maiden name,
Fleamont, to live on. Why, Iolanthe,
why? So just be on the lookout for anybody with the surname Fleamont,
because it means that they are most likely
distantly related to Harry. But more importantly than the name of Fleamont's grandmother, is his
Father's name who would have been alive during Fantastic Beasts and whose name is wait for it
Franklin. Just kidding it's, wait for it, Henry.
Did you think I was going to say Harry? Well it may as well have, because Harry's
great-grandfather Henry actually went by the name
Harry. And this Harry Potter, although not nearly as famous as his great-grandson, was well known for two things.
First, he served on the Wizengamot from in 1913-1921, where he, you know, ruffled some feathers for just you know
Condemning the minister for Magic. Who at the time was none other than
Archer Evermonde. Basically this Harry Potter
strongly believed that witches and wizards should help out in the First World War. This empathetic viewpoint towards the
non-magical community is also what led to the Potter name being excluded from the sacred 28. And as we said earlier, many magical
Folk did end up helping out in the First World War, including Newt's war hero of a brother, Theseus.
And it seems likely enough to me that if you are a war hero
you're probably in the same ranks as the other influential people to your cause, like maybe somebody who was in the Wizengamot and
specifically pushed for your involvement in that cause, like maybe, just maybe,
Henry Harry Potter. And THAT is why I believe we might be able to spot
Harry Potter and the next Fantastic Beasts movie. And if they somehow haven't come across this already,
we should all probably just tweet this video to these Fantastic Beasts people
#harrypotterandwheretofindhim
So yeah, boom. Fantastic beasts is too the best Harry Potter movie. And if that's not enough for you
and you still don't think this counts as a Harry Potter movie because this Harry isn't in it,
then let me just turn the table on you and point out that, Newt Scamander is in prisoner of Azkaban on the marauders map
It's all the same. They're all Harry Potter movies. Boom
(lower quality audio) Mic drop. See you in another life
