[Spoilers] Just watched Secrets of Dumbledore, and I had a question as someone not really a Harry Potter fan.
Having watched SoD and I'm a little confused about the Quilin and it bowing to Dumbledore. As said in the title, I'm not too big harry Potter fan, but isn't the point of Snape confronting Dumbledore and the conversation in King's Crossing to convey that Dumbledore, despite his wisdom, was never actually completely morally sound?
Regardless, it really should've bowed to Jacob. Not only was he the character we received the explanation of the Quilin through, but leading up to that scene there were repeated reference to the word 'heart' around Jacob. He talked about how his heart was broken, Dumbledore told him he had a full heart, and he said his heart wasn't right without Queenie. Maybe not strong enough to be a motif, but I felt like there was definitely enough there to establish a connection with Jacob and the symbolism of a heart.
It would've been a thematically and narratively reinforcing moment, completely unveiling Grindelwald as a snake without a doubt and completely undermining his political platform.
It was just so obvious I don't know why they didn't go for it, especially because it bowing to Dumbledore didn't really amount to anything. He just, kinda, shoo'd it away and looked awkward. It's a shame because Jacob is definitely in the running for best character in the movie and him getting a moment to profess his love, as a muggle, to Queenie in front of the whole Wizarding World in a cruel twist of Grindelwald's plan would've been perfect.
