13 HP/FB Is it Really a *SPOILER*? 6-11

*SPOILERS* Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Well, is FB truly a spoiler for HP?
Because it's not going to end up differently-We know the end result. And the producers aren't going to change things drastically, because the HP universe rules need to be upheld before adding things into the Wizarding World.

We all know Gellert Grindlewald fails in his plan to expose the WW to the muggles, or rule England, or whatever the fuck his plan is, because we see him in Azkaban in DH1/2.
We know Dumbledore fights him, winning the war, but losing his sister, because Arianna dies during the fight.
We know that Grindlewald once owned the Elder Wand, and he had a fascination with the DH. Will we see Grindlewald attack Harry's great-grandparents trying to get the Invisibilty Cloak from them?
And, on that note: will we finally find out how the Potters and Blacks are related? (On the Black family tree in OP, there is definitely 'Potter' on one of the branches. (Check next time you see it.))

And really, Gellert Grindlewald doesn't seem to be that big of a threat to the WW, because the first we hear of him is in the last HP book! If he did something really bad, wouldn't we know about it BEFORE the last book? In passing when talking about Voldemort, or Dumbledore's history, or... Wait a minute... History of Magic! We learnt about Emetic the Evil and Ulric the Oddball. Why didn't we have a single lesson in the 6 years we were at Hogwarts on Grindlewald? I bet that would've been more interesting than the Salem witch burnings, especially since Salem was in America anyway.

So I get it if I'm writing about HP, and want to talk about FB, I have to put *SPOILER* there because it came out less than a year ago, so people might not have seen it.
But if I'm writing about FB (and already have FB *SPOILER*) is it really a HP *SPOILER* because we all know how it ends.
It is a prequel, remember.
So... It isn't really spoiling anything. The main things will stay the same.
So, I'm asking you. What do you think? Is FB *SPOILING* HP or not?

So fucking glad that's over. Writing *SPOILER* so many times... It looks wrong now. But 7 times isn't that many, BD.
No, but I have been backspacing and rewriting this chapter as well, so I've written it more than 7 times.
But you know what's worse? I have just finished writing this chapter...
And realised I could have copied and pasted *SPOILER* the whole time! (And yes, I did copy&paste that one.)
How did I not thiNK OF THAT BEFORE!?!

Also about not thinking of stuff... On Sunday, I realised that PJ's Percy and Annabeth share the same first inital as Poseidon and Athena. How could I have only just realised this?
