The second chapter in J.K. Rowling’s five-film series, Fantastic Beasts, has unveiled its first images. They, of course, feature Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander and Katherine Waterson’s Tina Goldstein. Together, the pair are set to traverse the world in search of the most imaginative magical creatures known to the wizarding world.
This time out, the pair are leaving the confines of New York City and heading to the City of Lights. While in Paris, they are enlisted to help a familiar face to the Rowling world of Harry Potter. That’s right… Albus Dumbledore (masterfully cast with Jude Law taking on the iconic role) has our two inquisitors of the magical searching for the dark wizard Grindelwald (again a coup of casting with the hiring of Johnny Depp to play the evil doer).
It seems that the title baddie has escaped from prison and is on a mission to wipe out the entire Muggle world.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald also features Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Zoe Kravitz, Callum Turner and Claudia Kim. Look for the magic to continue when it appears in theaters on November 16.
