Introduction"Wonderful Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" is a dream film from 2018, directed by David Yates and composed by J.K. Rowling. The second installation in the "Fantastic Beasts" series, it follows the experiences of wonderful zoologist, Newt Scamander.
Plot SummaryThe film opens with notorious dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald leaving from the custody of the American Magical Congress. Meanwhile, in London, Newt Scamander is prohibited from travelling abroad due to his activities in New York (from the previous movie).
Dumbledore, a young Hogwarts teacher at the time, asks Scamander to take a trip to Paris to discover Credence Barebone, who is believed to bring the blood of a powerful wizarding household. Dumbledore can stagnate versus Grindelwald directly, due to a blood pact they had actually made as children. Meanwhile, Grindelwald starts collecting fans in Paris, promoting a supremacist ideology that puts pure-blood wizards above all other wonderful animals and Muggles (non-magical people).
Secret DevelopmentsIn Paris, Scamander discovers the truth about Credence's heritage, exposing that he is Aurelius Dumbledore, Albus Dumbledore's lost bro, supposedly killed throughout a fight between their sis and another wizard when they were children. The revelation shocks Credence, who now discovers himself at the center of a power struggle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. Scamander, together with his American pals, Tina Goldstein, her sibling Queenie, and No-Maj Jacob Kowalski, get knotted in the hazardous conflict.
Significant Conflict and ResolutionGrindelwald handles to persuade the majority of his audience, consisting of Queenie, of his vision of a brand-new world order where wizards guideline. However, a direct conflict emerges when his event is crashed by Scamander and his allies. Grindelwald provokes an auror into attacking him, inciting chaos culminating with him sending a circle of blue flame towards the protagonists. Leta Lestrange, engaged to Newt's sibling Theseus, sacrifices herself to give others time to escape.
ConclusionIn the last part of the movie, Newt and his allies integrate their powers to push back Grindelwald's flames, avoiding him from destroying Paris. Grindelwald leaves with Credence and Queenie, leaving an obscurus (a dark force that manifests in magically-inclined children if they reduce their wonderful capabilities), a French Ministry member and Theseus mourning Leta.
Returning to Hogwarts, Dumbledore gains from Newt that a blood pact exists between him and Grindelwald, which avoids them from harming each other directly. The motion picture ends with Newt providing the blood beauty to Dumbledore, who guarantees to find a way to break it so he can combat Grindelwald.
"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" deepens the lore of the Wizarding World, introducing new complex characters and relationships, and setting the phase for the much-awaited battle between excellent and evil.
