Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald featured the adventures of Magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) as he teams up with Albus Dumbledore in his fight against Gerald Grindelwald. The 2018 fantasy film also showed how Gerald Grindelwald has created his own army and has brainwashed Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller) into believing that his real name is Aurelius Dumbledore, Albus' long-lost brother and the only person powerful enough to kill him.

Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald was praised by several for its production value and how much it relates to the Harry Potter universe. But at the same time, several criticized the movie for dwelling into several sub-plots and making it overly too complicated for non-Harry Potter fans. The movie was made against a budget of $200 million and made $653.8 million at the worldwide box-office.

Fantastic Beasts 3 movie is scheduled for release on November 12, 2021, and fans are speculating that the upcoming movie will show the end of Gerald Grindelwald and in the final moments, we are going to see the rise of Tom Riddle, who would later become Lord Voldemort. Several fans are also speculating that the upcoming third part of the series will also show Marauders in some capacity.
