"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" is a fantasy film and the second installment in the "Fantastic Beasts" film series, which is set in the wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling. The movie was released in 2018 and is directed by David Yates. Here is a brief summary of the film's plot:
The story is set in the 1920s and continues to follow the adventures of magizoologist Newt Scamander (played by Eddie Redmayne). In this installment, the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (played by Johnny Depp) escapes from captivity during his transfer to Europe and sets out to amass a following of wizards who share his vision of wizarding superiority over non-magical beings. Grindelwald believes that wizards should rule the world, and he seeks to unite them under his leadership.
Newt Scamander is reluctantly drawn into this conflict when he is asked by a young Albus Dumbledore (played by Jude Law) to help stop Grindelwald's plans. Dumbledore is unable to act against Grindelwald directly due to their past connection, and he needs Newt's assistance.
As Newt embarks on his mission, he reunites with old friends, including Tina Goldstein (played by Katherine Waterston) and her sister Queenie (played by Alison Sudol), as well as the No-Maj (non-magical) baker Jacob Kowalski (played by Dan Fogler). The group's journey takes them to Paris, where they must uncover Grindelwald's true intentions and prevent a potential war between wizards and non-wizards.
The film explores complex themes of power, loyalty, and the blurred line between good and evil. It introduces new characters, magical creatures, and locations while setting the stage for the ongoing conflict between Grindelwald and those who oppose his vision.
"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" is part of a five-film series, and it builds upon the rich lore of the Wizarding World, with many of the characters and events having connections to the "Harry Potter" series, adding depth and complexity to the overall narrative.
