skooma512 posted:Why did Newt even bother traveling by boat? You would think a portkey system would have been in place a long time ago, particularly since breaking the masquerade is subject to summary execution in America or something. Apparition does seem to have a range limit, indeed JKR herself reiterated this on twitter a couple days ago probably due to this exact question. Plus I remember portkeys being used for the Quidditch World Cup. Pretty much everything about the wizarding world seems to be fragmented and lacking coordination. There is a million things in the series where it's odvious how much better things would be if the wizards could just organize and work together. Half the way harry ends up being a hero is by going around and actually talking to people and actually combining the information and talents that everyone already had but wizard culture keeps isolated. It seems way more muggle than wizard to think "we should set up a comprehensive travel network using portkeys".

raditts posted:I agree though, this movie seemed like it didn't know what it wanted to be, and as a result none of it was interesting, just a bunch of disparate set pieces glued together with lousy cgi. The movie seems like it knew exactly what it wanted to be: a prequel trilogy about the wizard world war II that the books alluded to a bunch. It just stapled the fantastic beasts property on because that was a published book to give it legitimacy. It has no real interest in that aspect of the story and will dispose of it as soon as it can. I bet the last significant beast based plot point comes half way through the next movie then it and everything from the book is never mentioned again.
