Another day another issue fans have with Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald!!
Not only was there backlash about the casting of Nagini, but people were furious with Johnny Depp not losing his job in the movie after his domestic violence allegations.

However, this new issue doesn’t have anything to do with the casting. It’s got to do with continuity issues.
Just recently, it was revealed by Warner Bros that Professor McGonnagal would be making an appearance in the movie, played by actress Fiona Glascott.

According to Pottermore, McGonagall wasn’t born at the time that the movie is set, in 1927.
Fans actually note that she wasn’t born in October 1935, which is eight years after she appears as a young witch (in her late 20s or early 30s) in The Crimes of Grindelwald.
I know JKR is bad at math but this is ridiculous. How is the biography she wrote 4 years ago about McGonagall and how she was a student under Dumbledore fits with mcgonagall being a professor in 1927?!?

Dumbledore refers to a “Professor McGonagall”, but given that the film takes place before Minerva McGonagall was born, it couldn’t have been the one from the Harry Potter series.
