Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore Plot

After the close dissatisfaction of The Crimes of Grindelwald, Warner Bros appeared to recognize they had some supplementary work to accomplish on the Fantastic Beasts 3 plot.

The Fantastic Beasts saga will resume being told via the perspective of the peculiar self-proclaimed Magizoologist Newt Scamander whose existence is at the core of Albus Dumbledore vs. The Gellert Grindelwald tale appears increasingly reckoned.

If you listen carefully enough, the past whispers to you

A disregarded voice states at the beginning of the Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore trailer, before Newt sees Dumbledore in what appears like his hometown. Dumbledore then describes to Newt that Grindelwald (Mikkelsen, substituting Johnny Depp, and caught here for the first while as the dark wizard) is tearing the world apart by abhorrence and that he will be required to entrust him if they are to beat him.

This time, J.K. Rowling’s accumulating additional writing help from Steve Kloves, who wrote all except for one of the Potter movies (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix). There’s also a bunch of understanding after the camera, where David Yates guides his seventh wizarding experience, after four Potters and two Fantastic Beasts.

Story specifics are presently lacking, but we do comprehend that the story is not revolving around Newt Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts 3 plot.

This was consistently anticipated as a five-movie arc, placed to finish with an epic fight between Albus Dumbledore and his rival or one-time lover Gellert Grindelwald at the rear of World War 2. That suggests Fantastic Beasts 3 is just the midpoint of the story.

We do understand, however, that the film is out to analyze new hubs of the Wizarding World. With the first two films having been established in New York and Paris, this time the place is in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
