    I can definitely understand the position of Newt being boring and unrelatable, but Overpowered? Not really, he was zapped once and he was out of the game. Dumbledore protagonist is hard to pull off, non-genius' trying to write a genius is incredibly hard, I mean, look at half of canon Dumbledore's quotes, gibberish, other half, basically quotes from the bible re-phrased. Newt being time travelling Harry falls into the same vein of theory as Dumbledore being a time-travelling Ron,...

    Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Sequel (Spoilers)

    If Magic is not inside a Wizard, then it is a Universal Force that they channel, they shouldn't be able to actively suppress it then, as that's like saying we could reject gravity if we wanted to and gravity would suddenly stop working. If the Obscurus then occurred but in the sense of there being no personal Magic for Wizards, it would go where vanished objects go, into 'everything'. Is that the argument you're going to stick with? Ad Hominem in fictional debates huh. Oh god, I...

    But, it's like, I never said that Magical Cores exist? If anything I'm in more agreement with what Khan said, Magic being a muscle and all.

    But the entirety of FB, Newt states that they're suppressing their Magic? There are no canonical statements supporting any of your statements.

    The Obscurus is caused by someone actively suppressing their Magic, meaning that Wizards have A) Their own personal Magic B)Their Magic is something they can 'suppress' meaning it's something they can physically control, but I'm assuming that Wizards unintentionally draw upon it like how we don't actively use our thyroid gland (consciously I mean).

    That's just semantics and you know it. FB shows quantifiable in the fact that credence doesn't turn into a whole universe when his Magic takes him over.

    Hmm, I guess you're right, didn't notice the design pattern on the first picture wand, considering the second picture is more recent, that's the wand they're going with. I wonder what its components are more than its design, looks like a dark wood, could be Ebony, which actually makes sense.

    Looks like the same wand to me, just his hand is farther up the wand in the first picture and his coat jacket sleeve is covering the entire bottom of wand, what is it called? The pommel?

    1. Really just a deflection on your part. 2. Duelling to Kill≠Fighting Seriously. With this logic, every boxer, mma fighter, karate champion etc... should be fighting to kill or else they're not actually serious. That's a strawman and you know it, I have a hard time believing that someone like Dumbledore can summon enough rage or hate towards a single person to be capable of casting any of these curses. Maybe a young Dumbledore, but this guy? No. 3. While I don't know if she explicitly...

    1) Dumbledore also blushed that the remarks of female colleagues in that same page, it seems that he was also written as straight in that chapter. So, because Rowling already retconned one part of that chapter specifically, the rest of the information we get is dubious at best, especially when we consider the fact that Dumbledore does get matched by Voldemort. 2) Not flinging around Killing Curses doesn't mean Dumbledore wasn't fighting serious, we have no evidence that Dumbledore can even...

    Where are you getting the idea that I said Magical Cores existed? I asked "what do you call a quantifiable source of Magic that is inside a Wizard's body?" Don't get so defensive, it's just fiction, it's not like Harry having a Magical Core that was never written in changes anything about Wizards themselves. Also, a physical source for magic does imply it's quantifiable, unless you're saying Wizards overheat instead, which there is no proof for. Doesn't really explain how Tom Riddle at...

    Not many people like the idea of Wizards having a 'source' for their Magic. Magic having a source means it's a quantifiable force (ooo), people say it ruins the mystique of Magic if you can 'exhaust' your Magic, I say the mystique of Magic is already ruined when the chosen one decided by Magic itself (through prophecy) only utilizes about thirteen spells in the last 3 books. --- Post automerged --- Then why call it a war in the first place? Especially something grand like the "Second...

    I didn't mention a singular magical organ either, I stated that they can physically and mentally suppress their magic. Which is true, but this also means that the Magic is inside their body somewhere, it could be flowing in their veins for all we know but according to Newt there are slight differences in their physiology as well.

    There's always the Star Wars route of over complicating it to the point where Objective Power exists and doesn't exist at the same time. And the only thing we can be sure of is that Luke Skywalker from the EU> pretty much every other being that ever existed.

    What else do you call having a source of Magic inside you that you can physically and mentally suppress?

    Not really referring to the first FB movie, in fact I enjoyed the first movie greatly; the Magical Combat was pretty well done. it is as you say, it had no real significance on the HP plot/text other than giving us a couple questions about Harry and Ariana Dumbledore and letting us know that Magic is quantifiable and inside of Wizard's actual bodies. My main problem is that movie 2 will delve into somethings we know in canon, and seeing how Rowling has managed to mess this up countless...

    I feel like I'm supposed to be excited for this new movie, but honestly, I just want them to stop re-writing canon in order to make money.
