I don't take her as much of a planner. More of a "make it up as she goes" type. More Stephen King than Tolkien or Christie.

She does plan, but only the beginning and the end, she doesn't care much for what's in the middle. Just look how irrelevant the characters that Harry meets after book 1 are. If she had killed many of the characters she introduced later, nothing changes... which is basically what she did. None of these characters play an important role in the main storyline.

I don't think she really had any plan past the first book, then quickly tried to finish building the plane after take-off.
Dumbledore Likes Dick was def a thing by Harry Potter And The Early Movies, I recall she used her veto power on a one-off line about an exgf for either 2 or 3.

I mean wouldn't you have to, given that Dumbledore's other brother is more or less just a dude who runs a bar and fucks goats.
Maybe they're the goblin equivalent of Zionists. Or communists, since lots of Jews were commies.
To be fair, I always thought it was nice how most of those random characters get references in later books that makes the reader smile. It makes the world feel larger and more "realistic", which is something Harry Potter desperately needs since JK Rowling is terrible at worldbuilding and thinking out the implications of things. Hence the "wizards shit their pants before they invented toilets" and how wizards don't appear to have any job prospects that isn't working for the government as a civil servant/wizard cop, being a wagecuck selling potions and shit to wizards, or playing quidditch all day.

Well the leader of the Labour Party, but it is Keith, I can see why there was confusion.
It is true though. Joanne doesn't support radical Labour, nor Commie Labour. But she does still support the comfy Middle class Labour, which is basically what her idea of the Wizard world is. Government job or wage-slavery, with bread and circuses for all the oiks.

In fairness, she lives in Scotland the supporting Labour is a solid "go-fuck-yourself" to the rampant batshit insanity and girl dick taking of the SNP (who coincidentally, way back when , were tight with the Nazis.

I finally watched the new movie. The whole movie, bc I started watching and I got bored.
Well, it's an absolute clusterfuck of nothing, holy shit... everything happens at the end and then, really nothing does. Jo had at least two full books to build the Wizarding world, something that was explored in the first movie, and the next ones were adding details. In this franchise, it's like every movie explores a whole big ass universe with new plots and rules.
And everything is so irrelevant and inconsequential that I don't even remember what happened during the previous movie, but it really doesn't matter because it's not important in this one.
The most obvious example of how badly this movie has been crafted is that Newt Scamander is a secondary character in the story. Yet, he's pushed as the leading role. If you remove Newt, the plot doesn't really change. You can make Dumbledore being the one who knows about animals (and it wouldn't be odd for Dumbledore) and it'd be the same. You know who's more important and memorable in the whole three movies? The muggle.
There is not a leading lady in the movies. They're just plots. Even Tina, who's meant to be Newt's love interest was basically given a cameo. Tina's sister, Queenie, who was a main character in the first movie, now's there to say "yes", "no", and has only a handful of lines. And she dresses now in black because she's switched to the daaaaark siiiide, except at the end she leaves it and it's all forgotten. I mean, she joined the Nazis and now we all are fine with it, no consequences for her actions. We know that Tina eventually marries Newt, and so far, we just have to assume they fell in love between movies. I don't know if she's this irrelevant because of the actress having other filming commitments or they just don't know what to do with her character. Both characters were cute in the first movie, and now it's such a waste.
The deal with gay Dumbledore is just a couple of scenes. If you remove them, you can imply that he and GG were simple good friends and any kind of love between them was brotherly or pure friendship. They made obvious that GG had no feelings for DD, so it was all unrequited and DD is probably dying a gay virgin.
The plot with the other brother is solved too quickly and too easy. It wasn't even a red herring or anything. It's more like they didn't know what to do with Ezra Miller after they were done with his character in movie 1 and they just thought of something quick. For the curious: he's not another brother, he's the bastard child of Dumbledore's brother, Aberthford, the goat fucker.

The "plot", for the curious:
-The Wizards are having elections for their international leader and there are two or three candidates for them to vote or getting chosen through some magical animal that can tell who's pure of heart and the real leader.
-Newt's trying to find this animal when GG's men find it too. It's a mom and they kill her, taking her baby, except she got twins and Newt took the other one to get safe.
-The Muggle is sad because Queenie is become a Wizard nazi and when he's trying to move on, a witch shows up to tell him they need him too. Him and other characters get together to meet Dumbledore. We'll call them, the Fellowship of the Autism. Who they are is really not important. If there is a new movie, they might not even show up.
-Ezra is around and being emo about his heritage. Queenie is also around trying to be friendly with him, but doesn't work.
-Grindelwald gets the magical animal that his henchmen got and murders it.
(at this point I got bored already and very confused, so bear with me...)
-The Fellowship are told that Grindelwald can see what's gonna happen, so their plan is to be unpredictable to fool him. Each of them are given a mission and Muggle is given a wand too. Their missions are very meh, so don't bother. The only one that's important is that Newt's assistant takes Newt's magical bag to get replicated many times, one for each of the members of the FotA.
(at this point I got bored already and very confused, so bear with me...)
-A lot of stuff that isn't remotely relevant for the plot happens here, even Muggle gets accused of trying to murder Grindelwald and Newt and his brother have to walk like crabs...
-We're supposed to understand GG infiltrated the German Ministry and he gets a pardon for his crimes. He walks free and many people cheer for him. The German Minister says that there is no harm on him trying to run as their main leader, so he lets him run because people won't vote for him. (see, don't ask me if they're supposed to be voted or chosen by the magical creature, because I ddidn't get that part and I'm not watching that again.)
-Ezra tries to kill Dumbledore and he gets told he's not their brother but Aberthford's son. DD then tells Aberthford (Or Newt, I think? Can't remember) that Ezra is dying because he's an Obscurus and the magic he never developed as a child is poisoning him.
-The FotA take each a replicated bag and go to where the election is taking place. Muggle finds Queenie and tells her everything will be fine, that he hasn't stopped loving her. Honestly, the best part of the movie for me. He's just such a great character.
-GG takes the magical thing he killed (after he reanimated it), and says it can be the one choosing the leader. It of course chooses him. Once he's proclaimed, he says "hahaha, fuck muggles!" and curses Muggle with the cruciatus in front of Queenie, who was totally shocked...wahmen, ammirite?
-The other decent wizards fight him and Newt's assistant shows up with the real bag, containing the real living Magical thingy creature who chooses Dumbledore, to his horror. Grindelwald's own creature dies. He tries to kill Ezra, but the Dumbledores protect him. Then OG Dumbledore and him fight each other, but GG escapes. Dumbledore promises he's gonna catch him next time!
-Aberthford takes Ezra home and the FotA meet again in NY for Queenie and Muggle's wedding. Tina shows up and Newt's happy she's there. Dumbledore tells this is important because it's the first time a witch marries a muggle. Then he leaves.

Haven't seen the film yet but did read the original leak spoiler, which said the animal that picks a leader of the wizards, the one that's not a zombie puppet of Madds, picks a rival candidate who's a woman of color. Was that part of the leak not true and it picked Dumbledore instead and he accepts the position?

You're right on the money. I haven't seen the movie either but reading the wiki/fandom article it originally picked Dumbledore but he declined and Santos was elected instead because she saved a muggle. In the Harry Potter books Dumbledore refused to be Minister of Magic because he sees himself unqualified and could be corrupted by power.

Yes, but if you ask, she's a nobody. Besides being wahmen and "black", she has no really much of a relevance in the movie except the parts where she's shown to be superior to everybody else. All the movies have a lot of this. It edges on being the "magical negro" trope, except the all are magical. More like "noble negro". Their group has now a witch who is like Hermione, an annoying know-it-all, except she's black and I think. American. The previous movie had also a black witch, but she was a bastard (that's why she was black in first place).
Also, fuck her being a "woman of color".
What makes her of "color"? Being Brazilian? She looks very Portuguese to me. Being tanned ain't being black. It's being Iberian. If you didn't know better, you could think she's either Portuguese, Italian, or Spaniard as well.

Aren't modern Brazilians half-breeds between the natives and any Europeans who was aligned with the Spaniards?

@Tasty Tatty your review has the reply bug, so based on the few scenes of DD and GG, the "secret of Dumbledore" is not this.

Dumbledore didn't die a gay virgin, maybe he got into the Britbong equivalent of NAMBLA and sodomized Harry all the times they were alone in his office.
That actress can't be any more than 1/16 non-white and IIRC anything more than 3/4 white or so is straight up white in Brazil.
The majority are but a lot of them aren't because they came over later and there were no natives to marry and they were rich enough not to marry poor people (who are mixed race or black) or they're like Tom Brady's supermodel wife and are literally Euro immigrants.
