"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them": Unanswered Questions
cinema bravo

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is in theaters everywhere now and it is just as great as J.K. Rowling's other works. This piece is Rowling's latest addition to the wizarding world of Harry Potter she so creatively designed. This movie, in particular, is set many decades earlier and across the ocean. While this movie has had many positive responses there are many unanswered questions.

1. If Newt was really expelled from Hogwarts, how does he still have his wand?

We all saw when Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts his wand was confiscated by the Ministry of Magic and quickly destroyed. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix the same thing would've happened had Dumbledore not intervened. However, since most of Newts story has been a mystery we must assume one of two things: 1) that Newt was of age when he was expelled or 2) the Ministry deemed him not to be a threat. We can expect this question to be answered though since according to J.K. Rowling there are three more movies in the works.

2. How long will it take for Grindelwald to escape?

As many Harry Potter fans can remember in 1945 Albus Dumbledore dueled and defeated Gellert Grindelwald, ending the wizarding war till Voldemorts rise. We can assume that this is where the Fantastic Beast series will end -- with Grindelwald's defeat -- but my major quip is how soon will he escape and be featured in the next three movies.

3. Is Credence really dead?

This is one of the most perplexing questions the movie left us wondering because it seemed as though he was so clearly killed, however the camera lingered on the small wisp of what was left of him and his obscurus residue for too long for him not to still be alive. Rowling has also previously mentioned that he plays a significant role in the movies to come. Is he significant and present or is he merely symbolically important?

4. Is Credence a Gaunt?

It honestly could be his haircut, however his familial resemblance to Tom Riddle is uncanny. The Gaunt family is known as one of the most nefarious of the wizarding world so it would not be surprising if this was a part of the Gaunt's anger towards muggles (nomags) and even other wizards. Considering he was adopted and this is roughly 70 years before the Harry Potter series anything is possible. This could be irrelevant though if Credence is really dead.

5. Has Jacob really been obliviated?

The film seems to make it clear that he was obliviated however the film's end leaves some doubt. His entire bakery is full of pastries that look like Nifflers and Murtlaps. Not only does that happen but Queenie visits Jacobs bakery and there is a glint of recognition in his eyes as though he might know her. Though if he really was obligated we still hope his character continues to be in the films as well as Queenie introducing him to magic again later on.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
