Unable to stop Grindelwald alone, Dumbledore entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) to lead an intrepid team of wizards, witches and one brave Muggle baker on a dangerous mission, where they encounter old and new beasts and clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers. But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines?

After another instalment in the franchise, I still find myself asking what it’s all for, and more importantly, who are these films for? The Harry Potter franchise is one of the most beloved film and book series we’ve ever had, and it’s so loved because of the wonderful characters we care so much about. And as I was sat watching the new Fantastic Beasts film, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, I found myself wondering who exactly I’m meant to care for and why exactly I should care at all.

We were first introduced to Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) in 2016 in the first instalment of these Potter prequels. Now six years later I still question what ark this character has and...

Warner Bros’ Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is releasing ahead of domestic in 22 international box office markets this weekend, beginning in Holland and Belgium on Wednesday and including the UK, Australia, Germany, Japan, Spain and China through Friday. The latter, unfortunately, is not expected to serve up any magic given significant cinema closures.

Currently, estimates for the early offshore release are in the mid-50 million range. That’s down compared to the previous two films in the Wizarding World spinoff series. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald in like-for-like markets and at today’s rates opened to 120M and 115M, respectively. Those films had gone out in a November corridor and played into Christmas, finaling at 580M and 495M internationally.

Again, China is a big drag this time around; the market contributed about a third of the opening grosses on the earlier movies.

Warner Bros has debuted the second trailer for ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.’

Professor Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) knows the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen) is moving to seize control of the wizarding world. Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) to lead an intrepid team of wizards, witches and one brave Muggle baker on a dangerous mission, where they encounter old and new beasts and clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers. But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines?

The film features an ensemble cast, including Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law, Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, William Nadylam, Callum Turner, Jessica Williams, Victoria Yeates, Poppy Corby-Tuech, Fiona Glascott, Katherine Waterston, Maria Fernanda Cândido, Richard Coyle, Oliver Masucci, Valerie Pachner, and Mads Mikkelsen.

Warner Bros. reportedly confirmed on Wednesday (Nov.25) that the Danish actor has been cast as the evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald in the upcoming sequel.

Mikkelsen, who currently stars in the Danish film 'Another Round' stepped in to fill the role after Johnny Depp left the franchise earlier this month following his unsuccessful libel trial against The Sun.

The announcement comes after the studio reportedly asked the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star to stand down after losing his libel trial, which reportedly concluded that he assaulted his ex-wife Amber Heard.

The court has also ordered Johnny Depp to make an initial payment of almost £630,000 for its legal fees to the publisher of the Sun, reports BBC.

We’ve got another promo spot to share with you today for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grendelwald. It’s called "Leta Lestrange's Dark Secret".

This is a great little promo that is sure to get fans excited because it features some exciting footage of several different magical creatures. Lestrange (Zoë Kravitz) isn’t even featured in it that much, but Grendelwald (Johnny Depp) is apparently talking to her about a craving that she has, something that he fulfill for her.

Watch the promo below and hit us up with your thoughts!

I can’t wait to see this next chapter of his story! Here’s the synopsis:

At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured by MacUsa (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald...

The latest featurette for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald takes the opportunity to show us a few of the ways that Fantastic Beasts connects to the Harry Potter franchise, which is what started all of us on this exciting magical adventure. I also included a new international trailer.

This is actually a pretty cool promo and it pointed out a couple of things that I didn’t notice before, so it might be worth two and a half minutes of your time to check out. Jude Law teased in the video:

“This wizarding world that J.K. Rowling’s created is so rich and vast from Harry Potter to Fantastic Beasts. There are so many connections between characters and storylines, past and present, and so many secrets yet to be revealed.”

It’ll be fun looking for the connections in the upcoming films. Here’s the synopsis for the upcoming...

Warner Bros. has released a new featurette and three clips from director David Yates’ Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

The featurette puts the spotlight on Jude Law’s version of young Dumbledore. I was happy to see Law cast in the role and he’s been great in everything that we’ve seen from him in the film. This movie will explore what made the man that the fans all love and this video includes interviews with several members of the cast and crew sharing their thoughts on the iconic character.

You’ll also find three clips from the film including an extended scene that includes Albus Dumbledore tasking Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) with finding the recently escaped Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp).

Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is the second of five all new adventures in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World.

At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured by MacUsa (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie 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 (Jude 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.

The film features an ensemble cast led by Eddie Redmayne,...

I don’t know about you, but I’m super excited about Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. I love this world that J.K. Rowling has created and these Fantastic Beasts films are telling an intriguing story filled with fantastically wonderful characters!

If you’re excited for the upcoming film as well I’ve got two new TV spots for you to watch along with a featurette called “ The Adventure Continues”. They all offer new footage from the film and the featurette dives a little deeper into the story and the characters, especially Credence (Ezra Miller) who is at the center of the story. It’s explained by Rowling that things get darker and more intricate with this next chapter of the story.

As we reported earlier, EW released some new stills from next month’s Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald this week which gave us a couple of interesting elements of the movie to chew over, including some new locations and character dynamics. Something that we missed at first glance, however, was a connection to the Harry Potter books.

One photo introduced us to Vinda Rosier, as played by Poppy Corby-Tuech. The character seems to be a dark witch who’s “an ally of Grindelwald’s from a prestigious wizarding family.” In the photo we have here, she’s seen presenting Johnny Depp’s demogogue with a skull and some rope during a meeting with his followers which we’re told takes place underneath the Lestrange family mausoleum.

Obviously, the name “Lestrange” will be familiar to Harry Potter fans, as Bellatrix Lestrange was Voldemort’s favorite henchwoman. Not to mention that...

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly serves up another load of stills from the upcoming Wizarding World sequel Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald as well as a cool new cover that showcases Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander and Jude Law’s Albus Dumbledore.

The images arrive with captions as well, which provide some much-needed context. The pic of Newt with his suitcase and wand raised sees him “in the basement of his London workshop that has a refuge for injured magical creatures,” while Gellert Grindelwald’s (Johnny Depp)’s rally apparently takes place in “an amphitheater beneath the Lestrange Mausoleum.” Speaking of the Lestrange family, Leta (Zoe Kravitz) inspects her old Hogwarts desk in another image, and you can note the cutesy etchings which remind us she and Newt used to be close.

J.K. Rowling had some more tidbits to share for “Harry Potter” fans during the intermission of the Broadway play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” — mainly about the role played by Jessica Williams in the upcoming “Fantastic Beasts” sequels.

Williams will be playing Professor Eulalie (Lally) Hicks of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the American equivalent of Hogwarts. But Rowling then revealed that Williams’ character will shine in all her glory, not in the second film, but the third.

“You only see a Hint of Lally in ‘Fantastic Beasts 2.'” Rowling tweeted. “Her true glory is revealed in ‘FB3.'”

A couple new images have surfaced from Warner Bros. upcoming film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The first photo comes from USA Today and it features the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) with a mysterious character named Rosier (Poppy Corby-Tuech). She must be one of his recruits.

The second photo comes from Empire and offers us a new look at Newt (Eddie Redmayne) and Tina (Katherine Waterston) together again. As you can see, they're looking a bit apprehensive.

When talking about the film, director David Yates says that Dumbledore (Jude Law) "refuses to conform to the status quo" and is "passionate, mischievous and an inspiration" to his young students. When talking about what Dumbledore sees in Newt, the director explains:

"Dumbledore sees Newt as a kindred spirit, an outsider, who is misunderstood. They recognize each other’s strengths and vulnerabilities."

Mark Schwahn has been accused of sexual harassment by 25 female crew members who work on his E! soap “The Royals.” The women all signed an open letter in which they describe “repeated unwanted sexual harassment” at the hands of Schwahn. The creator was accused of similar allegations earlier this week by the female cast and crew of “One Tree Hill.”

“Upon reading a statement from the ladies of ‘One Tree Hill,’ a statement from their Royal sisters could not possibly go unwritten,” the letter begins. The women say they were aware of the rumors surrounding Schwahn’s behavior on the set of “One Tree Hill” but went into the filming of “The Royals” hoping they were “just rumors.” “By the time we wrapped this had irrevocably proven not to be the case,” they write.

How magical! On Thursday, Warner Bros. announced the title for 2016's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Sharing the news via Twitter, the studio wrote, "In one year, return to the Wizarding World with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. #MagicInProgress #FantasticBeasts." The sequel, set for release on Nov. 16, 2018, stars Poppy Corby-Tuech as Rosier, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as Skender, Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald, Carmen Ejogo as Seraphina Picquery, Dan Fogler as Jacob Kowalski, Kevin Guthrie as Abernathy, Brontis Jodorowsky as Nicolas Flamel, Cornell S.

What better way to pep up Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2 than to cast the son of an actual magician as Philosopher’s Stone creating alchemist Nicholas Flamel? That’s probably why Brontis Jodorowsky, son of Alejandro Jodorowsky, has been cast as the character. Now, you may be asking yourself, “who the hell is that and why should I care?” which is understandable given that his film career to date has largely consisted of very strange, arthouse movies directed by his awesome dad (who’s seriously a straight-up magician).

First seen as a child in the original midnight movie El Topo back in 1970, Brontis has more recently played his own tyrannical grandfather in Alejandro Jodorowsky’s two autobiographic movies, The Dance of Reality and Endless Poetry, in which (in my humble opinion) he was downright amazing. Despite that, the audience for Jodorowsky’s typically bonkers fare is a bit limited,...

Some new casting information has surfaced for David Yates' Fantastic Beasts sequel. The announcement comes from Pottermore and it reveals some new characters being introduced to the film and we learn a little bit about some of them and their ties to the books.

One of the main characters revealed is Nicolas Flamel and he will be played by Brontis Jodorowsky (El Topo, Endless Poetry). The character was originally mentioned in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Flamel is known in the wizarding world as an alchemist who discovered the Elixir of Life and he's based on the real-life alchemist of the same name. The report goes on to offer details on the other characters that have been cast:

So far, only a few names have been revealed, but some surnames will be familiar to Harry Potter fans. Joining the cast will be Wolf Roth as a character...

Jessica Williams has joined Warner Bros.' sequel Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2.

Brontis Jodorowsky, Fiona Glascott, Wolf Roth, Victoria Yeates, Derek Riddell, Poppy Corby-Tuech and Cornell S John have also signed on for the follow-up, it was announced on Pottermore.

Rowling. The first film was released in November 2016 and grossed $814 million worldwide.
