    Nah. If we wanna go with chess analogies, Tom and Harry were the Kings, and Dumbledore was the Queen. Luring the opponent into focusing on the most powerful piece on the board as opposed to winning the game is totally a great tactic in chess.

    And regarding Tom,

    Yeah, the books are incredibly well thought out and planned. There's a lot in them for folks who read through them multiple times.

    But that was coming from a person who is a, for no use of better words, Historian of Harry Potter. But I don't count cursed child, That was not very good.

    It was okay, not great. But if you're that into HP, I don't really understand why you wouldn't see it, even if it's just for completions sake.

    Any Potter historians should certainly see Fantastic Beasts. Of the films I think I enjoyed it the most.

    Rome was so minor and without much impact, studying it is really only for the completionist historians anyway.

    I'm surprised the 2nd Fantastic Beasts isn't shooting already, you'd figure Warner Brothers would want this franchise machine churning out at the speed of the previous Potter installments.

    I do think it would be interesting if at some point we see WWII and the magic worlds collide, even some muggle / nomag heavy artillery vs magic. Dumbledore defeated Gindelwald in 1945 and I kind of doubt that WWII is just sort a thing that happened to occur at the same time, it seems likely the two events were intertwined.
