The wait is almost over! The second installment in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them series will be released into theaters on November 16!
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be the second movie in a reported five-part series and the tenth in the Wizarding World universe. Fans have been anticipating this release since Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them came out in November 2016– I know I can hardly wait!
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is based on the textbook of the same name written by Newt Scamander, which is one of the book requirements for first year Hogwarts students, as shown in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. The movie begins in 1926, when magizoologist Newt Scamander arrives in New York City from England en route to Arizona. After several mishaps, Newt becomes mixed up with a No-Maj/Muggle, Jacob Kowalski, demoted Auror Tina Goldstein, her Legilimens (a form of magical telepathy) sister, Queenie, and the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Strange events have been happening across the city, and while searching for several escaped magical creatures Newt had with him in his suitcase, he is arrested and accused of working for the dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald, who is second only to Voldemort.
Without giving away what happens next, the ending of the movie is clearly left open-ended and begging for a sequel. This next installment promises to bring back the characters of Newt, Tina, Queenie, Jacob, Credence, and Grindelwald, as well as new characters, like Albus Dumbledore, Leta Lestrange, Theseus Scamander, Nagini, and more. Plus, the screenplay was also written by J.K. Rowling! Check out the trailers here.
To prepare you for this momentous release, check out Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them to remind you of what happened in the last movie. You can always check out any of the Harry Potter films or books to hold you over until November 16. I’ll try to see if I can squeeze in a trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in either Orlando or Hollywood; I’m not picky!
Happy Reading! And Watching!
Accio, November 16!
