Warner Bros. shared a magical little video on Facebook, unveiling that the title for the sequel to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The title for the latest movie set in J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world of Harry Potter references Gellert Grindelwald, the dangerous Dark Wizard.

Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp brought this character to life in the first film which saw Grindelwald captured by the MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America). Unfortunately for Muggles, the wizard supremacist escaped and is fiercely determined to instigate a Wizarding revolution. As the sequel moves from 1920s New York City to Paris, the only person who can stop Grindelwald is a young Albus Dumbledore. Of course, he’ll need help from some old friends as well.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald stars stars Eddie Redmayne as magical zoologist Newt Scamander, Katherine Waterston as Tina, Alison Sudol as Queenie, Dan Fogler as Jacob, Ezra Miller as Credence, Zoë Kravitz as Leta Lestrange, Callum Turner as Theseus Scamander, with Depp as Grindelwald and Jude Law as Dumbledore. 

Arriving November 16, 2018, the sequel is directed by David Yates, with Rowling, David Heyman, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram producing.
