On Leta and Corvus - did it imply Corvus survived? We saw that other woman pick him up from the bassinet after Leta switched them, but was the baby drowning a real thing or Leta's nightmare? Are we going to get an actual Corvus Lestrange later? Do we need to, for there to be Lestranges working for Voldemort later? Or is that a different branch?
I was surprised how much I liked Leta, I hadn't been looking forward to a love triangle story, but she was really well acted and I got to really wanting to know more and see more of her! And then. Yeah. (and I agree entirely on her backstory, sheesh.)
She's the unloved acting out mean Slytherin type that Rowling likes using over and over, but it felt like there was a lot of nuance there, and I really thought they'd do more with it, not just incinerate her. The 'you never met a monster you couldn't love' line should have been her pov, but it felt like the movie expected us to take it seriously as an assessment of her. But they did that in a few places, put in dialogue that was clearly coming from an unreliable narrator as though we should consider it fact.
