Crimes of Grindelwald Prequel Fan Film - The Greater Good
Wizards Albus Dumbledore and Gellart Grindelwald start their famous duel. Doesn't young Albus look like the young Professor X from the X-Men films?
Have you seen The Greater Good, a 17-minute fan film about Dumbledore and Grindelwald? Made before the first Fantastic Beasts movie was even a thing, this little wonder tells the story of how the two powerful wizards broke off their previously intense, long-running relationship. It also features Albus Dumbledore's little sister, Ariana, and the sad events at the end of the boys' world-traveling love affair. Aberforth, the other Dumbledore brother, also plays a leading role.
The feature's not bad. I'd even say it was really good, if the wand fight didn't drag on so long., a nice (and inexpensive) beach-side setting, good costumes, and acting that works for the story being told. A few of the special effects are cringe-worthy, but we should probably cut these amateur filmmakers some slack.
Albus, Aberforth, and Gellert look great. Ariana is way too old to fit in with the Harry Potter novelizations and her painting in the Deathly Hallows 2 movie, but I guess we can overlook this in honor of the greater good. ;-)
Some people are going so far as to call this a Fantastic Beasts prequel. Take a look:
What do you think of this fan film short from the universe of Harry Potter? I for one am impressed that JK Rowling is confident enough in her creation to allow this one-off to stay alive for internet viewing.
