(COMING FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A VERY VEXED FANTASTIC BEASTS FAN (Also, I'm in love with the picture at the top <33))

When people know what Harry Potter is, but not Fantastic Beasts

When people say that Fantastic Beasts is just J.K.Rowling trying to make her fame last by milking the Harry Potter idea for too long

When people say that it's confusing and too hard to understand

When people start pointing out mistakes just because they hate the Fantastic Beasts idea

When people make typing mistakes when writing Fantastic Beasts

"Fantastic Beast"

"fantastic beasts"

"Fantasic Bests"

When you mention Newt Scamander and someone claims to absolutely love Newt Scamander, and it turns out that they know nothing about him

When you show someone the trailer or the movie and they ask, "Where's Harry?"

When people try and describe a niffler because they can't remember what it's called

"The fluffy platypus... no, the- the *mimicking niffler paws* the little one- the one that- no, the other one-"

"Newt Salamander"

"The Salamander Guy"

When people laugh at the Salamander Eyes scene

When people tell you to get over it when you're crying about Leta or Queenie or everything

"It's fictional. None of these characters exist."

When no one gets your references

When people don't know what Harry Potter is, which makes it harder to explain Fantastic Beasts

When there are no vines or videos on Fantastic Beasts because it doesn't get as much recognition as Harry Potter or other fandoms

When people keep asking why you're obsessed with Fantastic Beasts, then you try to tell/show them, and they stop listening

When there just aren't enough memes because Fantastic Beasts isn't popular enough :(

When people say that it's for kids

Haters

But... you know...

Haters gonna hate.
