00:00 But can I just tell you that Mads, Mads still like,
00:02 "What's the name of that one, that muffler?"
00:04 The muffler, I'm like, "It's the Niffler, Mads!"
00:07 Come on, do your research, buddy.
00:09 (upbeat music)
00:12 Otherwise, it's just a load of wizards.
00:21 - What?
00:22 (eerie music)
00:24 - What is the big one in our film, magical?
00:29 - I would say the manticores from this.
00:31 (thunder rumbling)
00:32 (woman screaming)
00:34 - A manticore?
00:35 - Oh.
00:36 - Don't.
00:37 - That big one.
00:38 - Yeah, definitely.
00:39 - Do not adopt that one.
00:40 - Yeah, don't, don't.
00:41 - Somebody can adopt it, but not my neighbor.
00:43 - Yeah. (laughs)
00:44 - You need a tunnel.
00:45 I mean, who's got a tunnel?
00:46 - And that's gonna bother the whole neighborhood as well.
00:48 I couldn't imagine 2, 3 a.m. with that thing.
00:50 - I can imagine.
00:51 - The manticores who are in this movie--
00:52 - They're not just for Christmas.
00:53 - They're not just for Christmas.
00:54 And kind of what you were saying,
00:55 you know, there are some sweet ones
00:57 and there are some vicious ones.
00:58 And the manticore somehow, you know,
01:00 disguises itself, masquerades as being of the sweet
01:03 and cuddly and chirpy type.
01:05 - Swivel, but delicately.
01:06 - But actually they are vicious and terrifying.
01:10 And you don't wanna run into a mummy manticore
01:13 in a dark alley.
01:13 (dramatic music)
01:16 (man screaming)
01:17 - I think the niffler, it just steals a bunch of stuff.
01:20 - That's okay.
01:21 - And that's kind of concerning.
01:23 It's like, I can't just as a black person
01:26 walk around with a niffler
01:27 'cause they're just gonna go around stealing stuff.
01:30 (dramatic music)
01:32 - They went that way, officer.
01:33 - That is true.
01:34 But I mean, there are also creatures that just kills a lot.
01:38 - Right, yeah, yeah.
01:39 - And you think that's better?
01:40 - Yeah, I know, right?
01:41 I would rather have just like a murderous creature
01:43 rather than a niffler.
01:45 - Bruh.
01:46 - I don't know, I just feel like it would just get me
01:47 into a lot of drama.
01:49 - But I mean, look, on the bright side,
01:50 if he steals enough, you can always get money to bail out.
01:53 - That's right, definitely.
01:54 So then I would get the niffler to go get the--
01:56 - Yeah, get past that point and you're good.
01:59 - Really?
02:00 - I would, I mean, I've told you before,
02:01 I would really like to have a niffler.
02:03 I think it just comes in handy.
02:05 - But can I just tell you that Mads,
02:07 Mads still like, what's the name of that one,
02:09 that muffler, the muffler?
02:10 I'm like, it's the niffler, Mads.
02:12 Come on, do your research, buddy.
02:14 - Did he say that?
02:15 - He got it today.
02:16 But I actually prefer the name, the muffler.
02:18 I think it's kind of great.
02:20 - It's something you put on your car, isn't it?
02:21 - Teddy the muffler, exactly.
02:22 - Oh, bloody hell.
02:23 - I have a theory that the niffler is the most dangerous
02:26 because who knows where that marsupial pouch goes.
02:30 It could be going to like a whole other dark dimension.
02:33 - True, and also you cannot control,
02:35 there's no disciplining a niffler.
02:36 - No disciplining.
02:37 - No.
02:38 - Can you imagine just like a pack of nifflers,
02:40 just like one on your watch and another on your bracelet
02:44 and another on an ankle bracelet?
02:46 You'd be, you'd be crazy.
02:49 Nifflers rule the world.
02:52 [dramatic music]
02:55 - Boatruckle, for me,
02:59 I've been a big fan of Pickett's from the get go.
03:03 - You've been a loyal Pickett.
03:04 - I have, haven't I?
03:05 - You have, since day one.
03:06 - I really like it.
03:06 - And he's been asked which his favorite is several times
03:08 and some actors will shift their allegiance, not Jude.
03:12 He's a Pickett fan through and through.
03:14 I adore Pickett, but Pickett is a beast.
03:16 - Exactly.
03:17 - I want Pickett.
03:18 - I would rather chop off my hand than get rid of you
03:19 after everything that you've done for me, now come on.
03:21 - Pickett needs a lot.
03:23 He's wonderful, but he really--
03:24 - He's neurotic.
03:25 - He's really neurotic, so you really need to,
03:27 you can't just like go, okay, you know,
03:29 like I'm gonna take you for a walk and--
03:31 - And you can't just eat a salad around Pickett, you know?
03:33 Looks at you like, side, out of the side of his eyes,
03:37 just like, how dare you?
03:38 - That's my cousin.
03:39 [laughing]
03:40 He's got a good, he's got a good stink eye.
03:42 - Pickett's a bit needy.
03:43 - Yeah.
03:44 - That's the only thing I'd say.
03:45 I mean, from, I like--
03:46 - Yeah, you have the hands-on experience.
03:47 - Yeah, I do have, and I adore Pickett
03:50 and definitely Pickett of all of the Boatruckles
03:53 has a very specific place in Newt's heart,
03:55 but occasionally, I actually love the Pickett-Niffler,
03:58 not muffler, combo.
03:59 I think they make, they're both fighting
04:02 for Newt's love and attention.
04:03 They're the ones that he carries with him a lot.
04:06 But in this movie, they kind of team up
04:07 and you see a bit of affection between the two of them.
04:10 [dramatic music]
04:12 [laughing]
04:16 - Oh, you need a lock, you need someone
04:19 who can pick a lock and you need a thief.
04:20 - You do, you do.
04:22 The two of them together are ideal.
04:23 - The thief and the criminal, basically.
04:25 - It's another whole, that's an HBO Max series right there.
04:28 - It is.
04:29 - The Niffler and Pickett.
04:29 [dramatic music]
04:30 - The chilling?
04:31 - Oh yeah, but, so you're like constantly
04:35 being judged and measured, right?
04:37 So if it's not bowing all the time,
04:38 you know you've done something wrong.
04:40 Okay, sorry about that.
04:41 - Yeah, am I not worthy?
04:43 Am I like feeding you and I'm not worthy?
04:45 I get that. - It's a lot of pressure.
04:46 - Absolutely.
04:47 - Am I the one paying the rent around here
04:49 and I'm not worthy?
04:50 It's like a cat, almost.
04:51 - Oh yeah, it's a cat.
04:52 - Totally, it's like cat vibe.
04:53 [laughing]
04:55 - Yeah, Mooncalf is, they're lovely and they--
04:57 - They're just happy to see you.
04:58 You got some floaty pellets.
05:00 - So joyful and chill.
05:02 I feel like they're like a good starter pet.
05:05 - I'm an owl person.
05:06 I do just like a classic, you know, magical owl.
05:10 I've always wanted like a snowy white owl
05:11 or maybe just like, I mean, they just,
05:13 they deliver the post, they all have different personalities.
05:16 There's just lots to like.
05:18 - I love that the wyvern in this, you know,
05:20 which is the creature that comes out at the beginning
05:22 and that picks Newt up from the case
05:26 and kind of blows herself up
05:28 into this gigantic sort of balloon.
05:30 I kind of love that creature too.
05:32 And again, the fact that the creatures are working,
05:35 working not only with Newt,
05:37 but actually save Newt in this is kind of,
05:41 I found that very emotional at the beginning of the movie.
05:44 - You never met a monster you couldn't love.
05:46 - I keep coming back to the Niffler.
05:48 I just like it.
05:48 - Yeah, it's just cute.
05:49 It is cute.
05:50 - If you find a way to train it, you know,
05:53 that it will hand over.
05:55 - What do we make today?
05:57 - Someone responsible, someone patient.
06:07 - Yeah.
06:08 - I often, I mean, I do find many similarities
06:11 between these creatures and I have two young children.
06:13 My little boy is just at the moment,
06:14 just like desperately trying to like sort of hit things
06:17 and sort of, and you have to be very sort of patient
06:19 with it whilst also encouraging him to let out his.
06:22 - Yeah.
06:23 - But the different creatures have different,
06:24 you know, different wants and needs
06:26 and you have to slightly shape shift your parenting
06:28 depending on which creature you're looking after.
06:31 - A Niffler is easy, right?
06:32 That's low hanging fruit, right?
06:33 - Yeah.
06:34 - That'd be any politician in the world.
06:35 - Oh, nice.
06:37 Roasted.
06:38 (crowd cheering)
06:38 Love that.
06:39 - I think an owl, definitely not too small of a child.
06:44 I feel like there's like a,
06:47 that seems like they would be irresponsible with it.
06:50 - But they also come across as quite independent.
06:52 So even if a child can't take care of them,
06:55 it might teach the child certain things.
06:57 - That's right, that's true.
06:58 Yeah.
06:59 But that's like, I feel like that's like
07:00 just being a good dad.
07:01 Like you see him like you've got good dad energy.
07:04 - I think you should really like be qualified
07:06 to adopt a fantastic beast.
07:09 - Yeah.
07:10 - It takes a lot of care
07:14 and you have to have the right sort of skills
07:17 and qualifications to look after them.
07:19 - It's a big responsibility.
07:21 - Yeah.
07:22 - Very dangerous.
07:22 - We got to do the fourth movie
07:24 has got to be fantastic beast and how to care for them.
07:27 - Care guide.
07:27 - Yes.
07:28 - Oh, I like that.
07:30 (dramatic music)
07:32 - Robbie.
07:36 - Robbie the Mooncalf.
07:37 - Robbie would be better for a bow chuckle though
07:39 'cause he can be Robert Plant, you know.
07:41 - Whoa.
07:42 - So picture a bow chuckle who's got a little flower.
07:45 - Oh sweet.
07:46 - Or her, so I'd call it bud.
07:48 - Bud, I love what you did there.
07:50 Or could I even have a bud coming out of--
07:52 - Have a little flower growing out of his head or something.
07:55 - Yeah.
07:55 - Do they flower or do they just leaf?
07:57 - I don't know.
07:58 (laughing)
08:00 - Manny the Mooncalf.
08:01 - Manny the Mooncalf.
08:02 - Murray, Murray.
08:04 - Murray the Mooncalf.
08:06 - I will name it Messi, like any football player, Messi.
08:10 - Yeah.
08:10 - Lionel Messi.
08:11 My dog is called Messi and everything has to be called Messi.
08:14 - Cool, I love it.
08:15 - The entire time he keeps playing.
08:16 - Yeah, cool.
08:17 - I would probably do just like Aaliyah, like the pop singer
08:21 because I was obsessed with her as a kid
08:23 and that's just, it's like, come here Aaliyah,
08:25 like that, like just put my finger up.
08:28 Like there's just something so nice about it.
08:30 It's timeless.
08:31 - It's got a great sound to it.
08:32 - Yeah, Aaliyah, like that just seems really nice to me.
08:35 - It's working on me right now.
08:36 - I don't know what I would call my, oh, I'll tell you
08:41 what I did actually in the first movie.
08:44 There was a moment when I had to improvise summoning
08:46 loads of bowtruckles on the tree.
08:48 - Yeah.
08:49 - Titus, Finn, Poppy, Marlow, Tom.
08:52 - David, the director was like, can you just list a name?
08:55 But I had to keep repeating names, so I listed,
08:57 I had, at the time, had four godchildren.
09:01 - Oh, you get them all in.
09:02 - And so I listed all my, which I thought,
09:03 to get their names in, yeah.
09:05 - That's great.
09:06 - So that was good.
09:07 I'd probably keep doing that.
09:10 'Cause you get bonus godparent points.
09:11 - Correct, three points to Hufflepuff.
09:13 (eerie music)
09:16 (eerie music)
09:18 (chimes)
