Fantastic Beasts: 21 WTF Moments

21. The Worst Customs Official (With The Weirdest Voice)

As the film opens (after Johnny Depp's brief first appearance killing some random victims with a single swoop of his incredibly powerful wand he then forgets), we see Newt entering America with his suitcase of wonders in tow. He stands in the customs queue, switches the case to Muggle-Friendly and hands it over for inspection to what must surely be a thorough official guarding the border.

Except he's clearly not that thorough, given that he doesn't at all inspect the suitcase. He just looks at the top layer, failing quite impressively to do his job, despite having suspicions that Newt might be a bit odd. There's obviously no way he could be hiding anything in there, because everything he can see is nondescript and non-suspicious.

Couldn't this customs official - who for some reason was overdubbed with a comedy gruff voice at some point in post-production - just have been confunded? It would at least make him look less idiotic.
