People: We need more representation and diversity in Harry Potter!
JK: Introduces an Asian character and makes her an important role not only in the Fantastic Beasts franchise but also the Harry Potter franchise as a hole.
People: THATS RACIST!
See how you can never win? Im glad the Wizarding World is getting more diverse and I dont care if a black, asian, or muslim actor plays a hero OR villain its just awesome theyre getting representation!\r\n

With Nagini I do believe at one point he possessed her not knowing she was a Maledictus realizing after he entered her that she was a Maledictus meaning she would be smarter than any other snake and able to do his bidding. I do believe that she had not actually interacted with anybody whether in her body or not in a very long time she crave love and acceptance which he gave her. The little love he did show her was just enough. I do believe were going to find out some bad things happen to her by other wizards so the little love and acceptance he gave her is what suede her to his side

The Native American thing probably wasnt the smartest thing for JK Rowling to do. Dumbledore being gay was a great milestone for the time and is a good thing, if it bother you, youre a dick. The cursed child is strange and should not be canon, just an interpretation of a half conceived idea. If Claudia Kim doesnt mind then no one else should, so shut up. An actors professional life shouldnt affect their job, especially when Depp was clearly innocent, and a victim of what he was accused of.

Having seen Grindelwald's crimes, I will say that Johnny Depp was excellent in the role. He is a talented actor that found himself type cast as goofs. As Grindelwald he is soft-spoken yet callous, cruel, manipulative. As well as charismatic.
From what I've heard about his relationship with his ex-wife they were both abusive towards each other.

What pisses me off about Nagini is that she was a horcrux. So basically Voldermort spoke parseltongue, he should've known that she used to be a human. Then why would he make her his horcrux? He didn't know that it's possible to make horcruxes out of people, so why would he take the risk?

Number 5 however is actually pretty serious, don't forget the past of America during that time and what our ancestors did to the people there. If she starts saying what their culture really is and who they really are then people will believe her, people always believe their idol.

Jhonny Deep was an excellent decision! his ex wife was an error since the beginning and he has to live with that, do you really want more punishment? he is an amazing actor, he deserves that credit and has nothing to see with his personal life and his crazy ex wife

Other than the Native American one (to a point) most of these are meaningless gripes. I'm more concerned about Depps Billy Idol hair and the lack of wizard robes but that doesn't mean they're worth complaining about.

The Nagini is interesting that ppl take as oppression of a race when in fact due to the curse in Harry Potter-time she was no longer human. She was a snake that was born human but could never become it again.

I don't see the bid deal about johnny Depp in this series. You'll see that once you see Johnny Depp as Grindelwald you'll think what controversy? He's fabulous. There's no one else that could've played him better.

I'm still upset with the Johnny Depp casting. Not because of allegations about his conduct but simply because I don't like him as an actor nor is he visually what I had in mind for adult Grindlewald to look like.

I respectfully dont agree with the authors decision for Dumbledore being gay.
However I still respect the character for his kindness, wisdom, and strength as a professor & father figure to Harry

Johnny Depp portrays Grindelwald perfectly! He looks great and the pauses he makes are amazingly blood freezing!
Cursed child being canon is just controversial it is a straight fat lie in our face

Now that everybody know that Johnny never did his wife any harm and it was the other way around and he got abused by her I want nothing but respect for Johnny by portraying Grindelwald perfect.

Personally I didn't think Johnny Depp's casting as Gellert was anything to get hissy about and having seen the sequel I don't think they could have gotten someone who oozes charisma like Depp

Let me ask you a question: Who do you think would have been a better Grindelwald than Johnny Depp? If people are so against him portraying this character I would like an honest answer.

Since Crimes of Grindelwald came out, another controversial decision-Why has JK decided to retcon a good bit of what she had basically put in stone with the original Potter series?

I dont understand why they should be mad about Johnny Depp as a choice. Besides, there are many more allegedly abusive actors that made numerous movies anyway, but nobody complained

I personally love Johnny Depp as Grindlewald.
And as other comments have already mentioned, his wife was just as abusive and the case was settled, he was never found guilty.

Trying doing Enders Game maybe. Because it has similar issues along with Harry Potter.
Also, maybe do like Enders Game verse Harry Potter.
Im just suggesting in the comments.

I understand the Nagini thing because of the Indian mythology aspect, but if Nagini was a white woman it would be okay? Or if Voldemort was a Man of colour? It's kinda confusing.

The whole thing with Nagini being a white mans pet is digging to far into something that doesnt need to be dug. People are trying to make drama out of something that doesnt need be.

Nangini was obviously the best surprise for me.
People get pissed if they don't include other races and pissed if they do.
Can't win and I love the little plot twist.

Dumbledore was in love with Grindelwald but Grindelwald wasn't in love with Dumbledore. If anything Grindelwald used those romantic feelings to manipulate Dumbledore.

I refuse to believe Nagini was always a woman in JK's mind, and will always believe it was a ploy to answer criticisms about the lack of diversity in HP.

Harry Potter fans took it too seriously, it is just an imaginary playground so we can have fun in it. Have fun and don't ruin it for the others

Jonny Depp? Get a grip, its all hearsay and she say he say. Charges dropped and convicted of nothing. Either way his performance is immense.
