So here’s the thing: I love the world but this film only had 7 interactions between 2+ women, some of which were only an introduction where a man came in and took over the conversation. Sigh…

47:30 – Queenie asks to speak to Tina at ministry of magic in Paris

50 – Queenie asked if she’s alright by Rosier

52 – Nagini calls Irma but Credence takes over conversation

1:12 – Queenie and Rosier talk for one min until Grindewald comes in

1:28 – Tina and Newt let in by woman

1:32 – Tina says hi to Leta

1:42 – Tina asks Leta if she knew who Credence really was

Update to Scoring

I realized there is an inherent flaw in my current scoring. Certain formats will inherently get low scores because of the format. I’ve been comparing all formats on the same level when this isn’t fair. So, I’ve created new scoring based on format.
