Quotes
-
Percival Graves : You're an interesting man, Mr. Scamander.
Porpentina Goldstein : Mr. Graves...
Percival Graves : [silences her with a finger] You were thrown out of Hogwarts for endangering human life...
Newt Scamander : That was an accident.
Percival Graves : ...with a beast. Yet one of your teachers argued strongly against your expulsion. Now... what makes Albus Dumbledore... so fond of you?
-
Seraphina Picquery : He was responsible for the death of a No-Maj. He risked the exposure of our community. He has broken one of our most sacred laws...
Percival Graves : A law that has us scuttling like rats in the gutter! A law that demands we conceal our true nature! A law that directs those under its dominion to cower in fear lest we risk discovery! I ask you, Madam President, I ask all of you... Who does this law protect? Us? Or them?
[smiles bitterly]
Percival Graves : I refuse to bow down any longer.
-
Percival Graves : So setting a pack of dangerous creatures loose here was just another accident, is that right?
Newt Scamander : Why would I do it deliberately?
Percival Graves : To expose wizardkind. To provoke war between the magical and non-magical worlds.
Newt Scamander : [scoffs] Mass slaughter for the greater good, you mean?
Percival Graves : Yes, quite.
Newt Scamander : I'm not one of Grindelwald's fanatics, Mr Graves.
-
[Credence has just revealed that he is the Obscurous's host by making the walls crumble, much to the shock of Graves]
Percival Graves : Credence. I owe you an apology.
Credence Barebone : I trusted you. I thought you were my friend. I thought you were different.
Percival Graves : You can control it. Credence.
Credence Barebone : [darkly] I don't think I want to, Mr. Graves.
[With an inhuman growl, Credence transforms into the Obscurous and wrecks havoc around New York City]
-
Percival Graves : [after Credence and his Obscurus has been seemingly killed by President Picquery and other Aurors] Credence. You fools. Do you realize what you've done?
Seraphina Picquery : The Obscurial was killed on my orders, Mr. Graves.
Percival Graves : Yes. And history will surely note that, Madam President. What was done here tonight was not right.
Seraphina Picquery : He was responsible for the death of a No-Maj. He risked the exposure of our community. He has broken one of our most sacred laws...
Percival Graves : A law that has us scuttling like rats in the gutter. A law that demands that we conceal our true nature. A law that directs those under its dominion to cower in fear, lest we risk discovery. I ask you, Madam President. I ask all of you... who does this law protect? Us?
[gesturing above to represent the No-Majs]
Percival Graves : Or them? I refuse to bow down any longer.
[attempts to leave]
Seraphina Picquery : Aurors, I'd like you to relieve Mr. Graves of his wand, and escort him back...
[a shield goes up in front of Graves, making him unable to leave]
Seraphina Picquery : [Graves uses his magic to disable the shield and block and cast spells at Aurors; though outnumbered, he takes them out one by one]
[Newt sends out his Swooping Evil, which manages to subdue Graves and hold him hostage]
Porpentina Goldstein : Accio!
[Graves's wand comes to her]
Newt Scamander : [points his wand at Graves] Revelio.
[slowly, Graves's face transforms into Gellert Grindelwald's, proving he is actually Grindelwald in disguise]
Grindelwald : [as Picquery approaches him] Do you think you can hold me?
Seraphina Picquery : We'll do our best, Mr. Grindelwald.
Grindelwald : [as he's being escorted out by Aurors; to Newt] Will we die, just a little?
-
Seraphina Picquery : [with a copy of the New York Ghost] The International Confederation is threatening to send a delegation. They think that this is related to Grindelwald's attacks in Europe.
Percival Graves : I was there. This is a beast. No human could do what this thing is capable of, Madam President.
Seraphina Picquery : Whatever it is, one thing is clear: it must be stopped. It's terrorizing No-Majs. And when No-Majs are afraid, they attack. This could mean exposure. It could mean war.
-
Percival Graves : Have you any news?
Credence Barebone : I'm still looking.
Percival Graves : Mm.
Credence Barebone : Mr. Graves, if I knew whether it was a girl or a boy...
Percival Graves : My vision showed only the child's immense power. He or she is no older than ten. I saw this child in close proximity to your mother. She, I saw so plainly.
Credence Barebone : That could be any one of hundreds...
Percival Graves : There's something else. Something I haven't told you. I saw you beside me in New York. You're the one who gains this child's trust. You are the key. I saw this. You want to join the wizarding world. I want those things, too, Credence. I want them for you. So find the child. Find the child and we'll all be free.
-
Credence Barebone : Do you think I'm a freak?
Percival Graves : No. I think you're a very special young man, or I wouldn't have asked you to help me, now would I?
-
Percival Graves : I wonder what you can tell me about this, Mr. Scamander.
[he summons the Obscurus from Newt's case in its protective bubble]
Newt Scamander : [turning to Tina] It's an Obscurus. But it's not what you think. So, I managed to separate it from the Sudanese girl as I tried to save her. So I wanted to take it home to study it. But it cannot survive outside that. It could not hurt anyone, Tina.
Percival Graves : So it's useless without the host?
Newt Scamander : Useless? *Useless*? That is a parasitical, magical force that killed a child. What on earth would you use it for?
Percival Graves : You fool nobody, Mr. Scamander. You brought this Obscurus into the City of New York in the hope of causing mass disruption, breaking the Statute of Secrecy, and revealing the magical world.
Newt Scamander : You know that can't hurt anyone. You know that.
Percival Graves : You are therefore guilty of a treasonous betrayal of your fellow wizards and are sentenced to death. Ms. Goldstein, who has aided and abetted you...
Newt Scamander : No, she's done nothing of the kind.
Percival Graves : ...receives the same sentence.
[to the Aurors in the room]
Percival Graves : Just do it immediately. I will inform President Picquery myself.
