A Brand New Look at the Upcoming ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’

J.K. Rowling’s ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Wizarding World is coming back at the end of the year with second installment of the saga.

Warner Bros. has released new images from its upcoming movie slated for release on November 16, 2018, the second of five new adventure from J.K Rowling, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

Directed by David Yates with a screenplay from J.K. Rowling herself, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald stars Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, with Jude Law (as young Albus Dumbledore) and Johnny Depp.

The first film ended with the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) being captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). But now, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings.

In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists his former student Newt Scamander blissfully unaware of the dangers that lie ahead.  Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.
