Accio magnifying glass. 9 brand new characters posters from “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” has magically appeared online.
These posters offer intriguing insights into who’s who and what is installed for them. For example, each main character has a piece of information on where everyone is going to be during the events of the “Fantastic Beasts” sequel.
Curious to know more? Lumos.
1. Newt Scamander

Our sweet and heroic magizoologist is ominously “wanted for questioning”. Is it because of the creatures in his possession? Or his connection to Dumbledore and Credence? Something tells us that the glint in his eye suggests that he’s not going to cooperate.
Then there’s also his cute little friend peeking out.
2. Tina Goldstein

The Auror was travelling to Paris “on foreign assignment” but we now know that she’s probably sent there by MACUSA.
3. Queenie Goldstein

The last time we saw Queenie, she and her newfound love Jacob were in his New York bakery. Where could she run off to? The cast has been pretty tight-lipped about Queenie’s role in the sequel.
4. Jacob Kowalski

Everybody’s favourite No-Maj is back at it again. He’s the rare American muggle with full knowledge of the wizarding world. As for the “of interest” part, Jacob is already on the radar of MACUSA after being involved in Newt’s magical business the last time.
5. Albus Dumbledore

The trailer reveals that Dumbledore can’t move against Grindelwald. The responsibility has to fall on Newt. Is it because he’s being watched closely?
6. Creedence Barebone

Troubled Creedence has escape and joined a circus. Will he find his identity in Claudia Kim’s character, the Maledictus? There’s also a theory that he’s related to the Lestrange family.
7. Gellert Grindelwald

The movie title is already a give away on what Potterheads can roughly expect. He was captured at the end of the 1st movie, but it’s inevitable that he’ll manage to escape somehow.
“What’s happened is Grindelwald’s belief that purebloods should reign over all non-magical beings is a political thing. He’s rallying more and more people and it causes divisions across families. He’s pretty hypnotic,” Eddie Redmayne previously said.
8. Leta Lestrange

“Leta is in some ways burdened by her name,” producer David Heyman recently revealed. Newt’s former schoolboy crush with the notorious surname seems to be connect to a prophecy. The question is, what prophecy exactly?
9. Theseus Scamander

— Fantastic Beasts UK (@BeastsMovieUK) September 24, 2018
Newt’s brother (and Leta’s fiancé) is an Auror “under Ministry orders”. Is it to take down Grindelwald or to keep an eye on Dumbledore?
“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” will arrive in local theatres 15th November 2018.
