Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald’s complicated past comes out in full in this third instalment of the Fantastic Beasts franchise.

Now in 1932, Newt is continuing his work as a magizoologist as Grindelwald and his devoted followers come up with a plan to rig the election for the new Supreme leader of the International Confederation of Wizards (ICW).

Loyalties are tested with the world on the brink of war, and the fate of the Wizarding World lies in the hands of a Qilin - a magical creature who can see both the future into someone’s soul.

With the Qilin left in charge of deciding who will become the next leader, nominees make themselves known, with Grindelwald among them.
