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).

"Congratulations to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald for being the first flat-out terrible product of the Harry Potter expanded universe. The first two movies were not good movies, but no matter how sludgy and overlong Chris Columbus made them, they were salvaged by the truly magical origin stories they told. " ... Read full review

I have never been disappointed this much in my life by watching a movie. Huge fan of HP, Rowling books - read all of them, watched moviesI have never been disappointed this much in my life by watching a movie. Huge fan of HP, Rowling books - read all of them, watched movies multiple times. in this one, wanted to sleep twice. The movie is soo boring, the storyline is out of order. This movie is only for children nothing else. Not for adults. Want your kid to see some magic? Right for them. Expand
