Magical Creatures — THE QILIN

The qilin is an extremely rare part dragon-part horse creature with the ability to look into a person’s soul. During the walk of the qilin, the creature determines the new leader of the magical community.

Can I ask, what would possess you to make such a thing?

Love. Arrogance. Naivety. Pick your poison.

We were young, we were going to transform the world. This ensured that we would, even if one of us had a change of heart.

And what would happen if you were to fight him?

Were I even think about defying it… it knows, you see. It senses the betrayal in my heart.

I can't say I have much experience with such things but it looks to me to be a blood troth. That would be correct. And whose blood is contained within? Mine. And Grindelwald's.

"The world as we know it is coming undone. Gellert is pulling it apart with hate, bigotry".

I know it’s been ages since I last tried to study Jude’s and Mads’ facial expressions in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, but as surprising as it may sound, I’m back with a new analysis! There’s still a lot to say about the restaurant clip, but I really wanted to focus on that scene in which Dumbledore have a talk with Newt and Theseus because I’ve never discussed it before despite it being really interesting as well. We’ll never say that enough: Jude Law is a real maestro.

So, in this scene, Dumbledore is briefly mentioning Grindelwald’s doings and the methods he’s using in order to try and take over the world. He disapproves them, obviously, and Jude did a phenomenal job showing the distress Dumbledore is feeling at that moment. He’s finally admitting out loud that his former lover’s completely went astray and he’s truly devastated by that. First, you can tell that he’s lost in his own thoughts by the way he’s avoiding eye contact with Theseus while acknowledging the truth: "Gellert [btw, notice how he’s calling him by his first name] is pulling it apart with hate" -> he’s looking to the side, which is also a gesture associated with shame and anxiety. Is he ashamed by what Grindelwald has become? I think it would make sense since we know that he feels responsible for fueling his ideas when they were younger. He takes part of the blame.

Then, the more he’s speaking, the more he seems to be struggling. The expression he has after adding "bigotry" is a look of disgust: his eyebrows are pulled down, his nose is wrinkled, his upper lip is pulled up and the corners are turned down… But these small movements can also be associated with pain and that’s what makes them even more interesting to study. The facial expressions of pain and disgust are often quite hard to tell apart but what characterizes pain the most is the contraction of the muscles surrounding the eyes. On the screenshot I shared, you can clearly see that Jude’s eyes are almost closed. What does it mean? Dumbledore is not only ashamed and sickened by Grindelwald’s actions: he’s truly pained. And to me it looks like Jude purposely exaggerated his facial movements to emphasize Dumbledore’s suffering. He was given no directions in the script but once again, he nailed it.
