The journey into the World of Magic continues... The powerful wizard Gellert Grindelwald has been captured in New York with the help of Newt Scamander and is now imprisoned in the basement of the Magical Congress of the USA. However, carrying out his threat, he manages to escape and begins to gather Followers, most of whom are unaware of his true goal: to raise pure-blood wizards to dominate all non-magical beings. In an attempt to thwart Grindelwald's plans, Albus Dumbledore recruits Newt, his former student at Hogwarts, who agrees to help him once again, ignoring the lurking dangers. Love and loyalty will now be tested even among true friends and families, in an increasingly divided magical world. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the second screenplay in the series of five films signed by J.K. Rowling, author of the global bestsellers featuring the adventures of Harry Potter. The film stars Oscar-winning Eddie Redmayne as the magizoologist Newt Scamander. In the year 1927, a few months after Newt Scamander helped uncover and capture the notorious wizard Gellert Grindelwald, another mystery story, unfolding in New York, London, and Paris, comes to reveal an exciting new chapter in the World of Magic.
