Wizarding fans, rejoice! After a long wait, we finally have our first trailer for the third movie in the Fantastic Beasts franchise. This upcoming sequel, The Secrets of Dumbledore, takes us back to something a bit more familiar. Dumbledore, with his many secrets, is at the centre of this film as the war against Grindelwald intensifies.
Professor Albus Dumbledore knows the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald is moving to seize control of the wizarding world. Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander 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?
