I did encounter Josephine slowly sinking through the seat of her chair during a dialogue scene though. It was hilarious.
Speaking of chairs, Krem can often be found sitting in the air 3 feet above his chair.

He is always like that when I walk in, but then he slides down to the seat.

Pea Bear got a new stuffed animal yesterday, washed it, then broke out the step by step illustrated instructions for fluffing and cuddling them, and boy did that koala bear look nice. :-)
Harry Potter is SO last decade...
Also I lost interest when Rowling got SO greedy that she started suing over fan websites.

Well I remembered that wrong... I had the case correct but for some reason I thought it was a much much younger man who made the website.
It was in 2008... when Rowling sued the Lexicon fan site she admitted to using herself. The man wasn't bitter over it but when you attack your own fan base you've lost touch with reality.

Oh, hey, Wikipedia has a synopsis for the movie:
The story revolves around Newt Scamander's (Eddie Redmayne) arrival at the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA), for a meeting with an important official. Central to the story and this meeting is a magically expanded briefcase which houses a number of dangerous creatures and their habitats. When the creatures escape from the briefcase, it sends the American wizarding authorities after Newt, and it threatens even further the state of magical and non-magical relations, which is already in a dangerous place, due to the threatening presence of the fanatical New Salem Philanthropic Society, an extremist organization dedicated to the eradication of wizard-kind. The story tells of what effect this devastating mistake has on the state of wizard/No-Maj (the American term for a non-magical person) relations in New York City's community of wizards and witches in 1926, the effort to correct the mistake, and the horrors of the resultant increase in violence, fear, and tension felt between magical and non-magical peoples.
That actually sounds pretty interesting.

Except there was no loss of touch with the reality nor attack on fan base. Rowling did not sue the website. She sued the publisher attempting to publish it in the printed form and the court ruled in her favor because the initial version contained excerpts from the books and movie stills. The version without them was later released without problems.

You grossly misrepresent what actually happened. The lawsuit wasn't over the existence or use of the fansite, and it wasn't directed at the creator of the fansite. The lawsuit occured because somebody wanted to publish the Fair Use content of the freely available website in book format for profit. That is a pretty big copyright violation right there, and it hardly counts as attacking your fanbase.

My Crimson Throne campaign just can't catch a break!
Yesterday the group fought well together, hit things, did damage, and actually did a really good job of mopping up all the mooks in the first part of the building they were in.
But...
They were assaulting the Hospice of the Blessed Maiden, and rather than using any subtlety at all, they just walked in the back door (via a Silenced Knock spell) and started beating on people. They smoked out the gray maidens upstairs (a smart tactic), but this gave Dr. D plenty of warning to know they were coming.
So when they opened the door into the final rooms, as per his tactics Dr. D turned invisible and tried to escape downstairs. Unfortunately, the group had disabled the lift, figuring it could only lead to trouble, so Dr. D had nowhere to go.
Thinking quick on my feet, I had him run out the front door to escape to the queen.
Guess what? That breaks the campaign outright.
The party decided that they have enough evidence to convict the plague doctors and Dr. D, so they have no reason whatsoever to go downstairs. They took the evidence to Cressida Kroft. She pointed out that this evidence would get her killed, as it would be open rebellion against the queen, and the queen's forces were more powerful than hers.
So the group now feels Cressida's a coward, the queen is out to get them, and they should just flee the city rather than dealing with it any more.
I know other people have run into the group trying to leave the city in Seven Days to the Grave, but in this case they're totally reasonable. "The queen's too powerful for us to stop, Dr. D has warned her so now she's going to sent her best forces to kill us, and our best ally won't lift a finger to help us. We're out of here!"
Of course, the players are being reasonable with me and they're going to go ahead and stay in Korvosa just so they don't break the AP, but they're not happy about it. Fortunately, post-game the cleric's player noticed that Majenko has BlindSight, so he would have seen the doctor fleeing (he was watching the front door), and we can retcon back to the Hasted group chasing down the doctor.
But yeah, having the doctor leave the hospice is a bad, bad, BAD idea.
Any I've never had so much trouble with a group where they keep saying, "The city's in danger. Give us everything you have. For free. Because we're helping."
I'm nearly at the point of just giving it all to them, calculating the monetary value, and deducting it from the loot caches.
What else do you do when your party says, "Well, *YOU* have all the resources of the Korvosan guard at your disposal, yet *YOU'RE* refusing to give us free gear, so we're not going"?
Meh. Bad, bad session.

This of course assumes you don't mind adjusting the encounters downward for a group that's technically a chapter behind level-(and XP-, if you use it)wise.
It's also cutting out most or all of Escape from Old Korvosa, which does have a lot of fun, memorable encounters and events, but it might be a necessary evil due to the way your game has played out. And as mentioned, you can relocate Laori and perhaps other necessary bits of the story as-needed to AHoA, or have some others (the Rakshasa, for example) relocated to after the group returns from Scarwall (again, if you don't mind adjusting encounters and such).
Just a few quick ideas that jumped to mind on reading your situation. Hope it helps!

Long, long ago, in Polish RPG called Crystals Of Time I had a half-elf assassin/warlock character. Late into its career I wanted to acquire a demigod's scroll of polymorphy that would allow me to become dragon for a few years. I planned to use unique draconic ability to learn third class and add alchemist to the mix because alchemist had more mage and unique spells to supplement my warlock spells.

I appreciate the ideas, but yeah, I already gave them hooks into Books 3 or 4 if that's where they want to go. It's not where they're going to end up that's the problem; I'll roll with whatever they choose.
It's this constant, "We're saving YOUR city, so YOU should be giving US all the free stuff we ask for!"
Not asking for free stuff when you're saving the kingdom is one of those metagame things you kind of have to accept as a player. "Why don't you save your kingdom yourself?" is another one.
So just extreme frustration with my players for abandoning these two fundamental tenets.
As I've posted on other threads, if the PCs' attitudes are, "Why should WE do that when there are NPCs perfectly capable of taking care of it for us?", then it's time to play, "Shopkeeper: The Roleplaying Game".
