New FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD Image Sees Dumbeldore Teach A Young Newt Scamander
It's been established that Newt was a former student of Dumbeldore's, but a brand-new photo from Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald provides a look at their time together as student and teacher.
While we already have a trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, a lot about the film remains under wraps. But as the Harry Potter prequel continues to approach its release date, we can expect more to be revealed.
Just today, we’ve seen Entertainment Weekly share a new photo from the movie. This image features a young Newt Scamander during his time as a student at Hogwarts and Dumbeldore (Jude Law), who is teaching the young wizard.
There are no details on the scene being showcased in the photo below, but with the film clearly set to have flashbacks, it’s possible we’ll get a look at the events that got Newt (Eddie Redmayne) expelled from the magical school.
At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is set to hit theaters on November 16th, 2018.
