Retconned Harry Potter's Only Unique Spell Fantastic Beasts

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore's ending retroactively ruins the one spell that made Harry Potter's Boy Who Lived so special. The ending of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore accidentally ruined the only unique spell in Harry Potter and nobody seemed to care. After Mads Mikkelsen’s Grindelwald is defeated in his somewhat confusing attempt to win a legitimate election using a zombie qilin he attempts to take one final victim in Credence Barebones. But the young Dumbledore wizard is protected at the very last in a way that ruins the precise thing that made Harry Potter such a one-off.

Fantastic Beasts 3 meddled with the Wizarding World in a couple of ways, with the same apparent casual concern for canon as JK Rowling showed in introducing Pottermore's various lore wrinkles. Not only did The Secrets of Dumbledore change Avada Kedavra, making it weaker, but it also, rather notoriously, introduced a major Professor McGonagall plot hole by including the future Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts at all. Continuity, it seems was never a major concern, especially considering how much of Crimes of Grindelwald the newer sequel seemed intent to simply ignore. That much went way deeper than ignoring Johnny Depp.

The biggest problem with Secrets of Dumbledore’s changes to Harry Potter canon is the love shield Albus and Aberforth Dumbledore use to protect Credence from Grindelwald’s killing curse. While it was a smart way to bring Aurelius back into the Dumbledore bloodline properly, it came at a cost to what made Daniel Radcliffe’s Boy Who Lived so special. The point of him surviving Voldemort was that it was unprecedented and the magic accidentally conjured to protect him was completely unique. That can’t be said now after Secrets of Dumbledore. If Albus Dumbledore was always aware that a love shield was able to deflect the killing curse, then the mystique of Lily Potter’s sacrifice for her son loses its impact. Harry was presented as utterly unique, not least because he survived the curse but because of the way it happened, but if the spell was already known, then where is the magic of the twist? Harry was merely a lucky survivor of something his parents’ supposed mentor and leader didn’t tell them about in any sort of useful way.

Dumbledore knew the alliance of good wizards that made up the original Order of the Phoenix were under threat from Voldemort. He knew the prophecy and knew Harry would be one of two major targets, and yet he seemingly decided not to tell the Potters of a way to use their love to protect Harry. And worse, if Fantastic Beasts 3 really just establishes a different way that Harry Potter could have survived Voldemort’s attack, the whole importance of the Boy Who Lived no longer really rings as true.
