One of the biggest confusions involving re-usage of the older characters is the reappearance of Voldemort’s snake, Nagini. The real strength is their newer characters and plotlines, the older characters often cause gaping plot holes and confusion. Doing this, however, is what really causes all of the series main issues. This causes J.K Rowling and the other writers on Fantastic Beasts to pull a lot from characters directly linked with Harry Potter to keep the interest in these new movies as big as the last ones.

The Fantastic Beasts movies are a newer concept based on a protagonist that had only appeared in the “Harry Potter” universe as a man that wrote a textbook about beasts. It is just riddled with plot holes that are glaringly obvious to anyone that has read the Harry Potter books.

In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander.
