Brave Newt world

FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD I It’s creatures ahoy!

01

Oh, hello familiar terrain. We’re back at Hogwarts, long before Harry Potter’s time, where a young Dumbledore (Jude Law) is being grilled about the whereabouts of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne).

03

But who’s this? Only Maledictus (Claudia Kim), “the carrier of a blood curse”, who could end up taking on a more familiar form. And that’s Ezra Miller’s Credence, showing off his, uh, Obscurus...

05

Grindelwald’s back! So here’s Johnny Depp looking like he’s rolled in chalk, and he’s not happy about it. Also, a couple of guards are waving their wands at him. This may be his ‘primed to escape’ face.

02

“Are you going somewhere?” asks Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), who appears to have regained his memory after the last film’s brain-wipe – and also acquired a couple of (drum roll) fantastic friends.

04

After a glimpse at what looks like the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, we meet a seaweed-y hippocampus, plus the return of the swooping thestrals, woohoo!

06

“It has to be you,” Dumbledore tells Newt, before we meet Newt’s brother Theseus (Callum Turner). Things end with a foreboding lightning crack that forms into the Deathly Hallows symbol...
