Fantastic Beasts: The crimes of Grindelwald - 2018

 Not bad. 


Grindelwald is in prison in America, after what happened in the first movie. They transfer him to London but on the way it is revealed that he changed place with a guard who took his side, Abernathy. Grindelwald escapes.

Newt has a ban on international travels after what happened in New York. Dumbledore sent him there, and now he tells him that Credence, still alive, is in Paris and Newt must find him.

Queenie and Jacob come to London. Tina is dating someone else because she read in a paper that he was engaged to Leta Lestrange, while actually it’s his brother Theseus.

Jacob remembers everything, but now Newt can see that Queenie enchanted him to get him to marry her. He does love her, but is worried for her because their union is against the law.

Newt lift the enchantment. When Queenie leaves, Newt and Jacob go to Paris where she went, because Tina is there. Credence is forced to work in a freak circus. He wants to escape with Nagini, a Maledictus, a girl forced by a blood curse to become a giant snake until one day she won’t be able to transform back. 

Grindelwald’s people are looking for Credence too, and also Yusuf Kama and Tina.

Grindelwald wants him because he says Credence is the only one that can kill Dumbledore.

Newt pays 50 galleons for an illegal portkey to France. Credence goes to see Irma thinking she’s his mother, but she was just a servant.

Grimson has been sent by the English Ministry. His task is to kill him, but he kills Irma instead. The Obscurus attacks him but Grimson’s shield resists. He killed Irma on purpose, under Grindelwald’s orders.

Kama imprisons Jacon and Newt with Tina, but Newt’s stick-insect picks the lock freeing them.

Kama says either Credence dies or he will.

Travers of Magical Law Enforcement doesn’t like Dumbledore, but Dumbledore says he “can’t” fight Grindelwald, because they were “closer than brothers”. (btw, why is Grindelwald so white if they’re roughly the same age?Whey they’re shown as younger, they seemed kids the same age).

Queenie could not find Tina but Grindelwald’s woman ally finds her. He offers her a world where they can love freely, whoever they want.

The safe house Dumbledore told Newt about is Flamel’s house. Jacob sees that Queenie is at the Lestrange tomb in Flamel’s crystal ball. 

Yusuf’s story: a Lestrange imperiused him mother into going with him, leaving her husband and son. She died giving birth to Leta. Lestrange remarried and Corvus was born.

To protect him from Kama’s revenge, they sent Corvus away to America, and Yusuf is sure that is Credence, but Leta says she killed Corvus as a child. She exchanged babies because Corvus wouldn’t stop crying, so the real Corvus died when the ship they were on sank. Leta doesn’t know who the baby was, at the time she was a child too and didn’t know him.

Now they all find themselves against lots of purebloods come to hear Grindelwald’s words.

He speaks like a great orator, then sends his followers away to spread his word. Credence goes to him because he says Grindelwald knows who he is. Queenie joins him too.

Leta dies to make them escape.

Flamel comes to help them stop Grindelwald’s sort-of-white-fire that would otherwise destroy Paris. Jacob and Nagini both cry, now alone after “losing” their loved one.

The Scamander brothers hug each other. 

Newt’s niffler got Grindelwald’s jewel with the drops of his and Albus’ blood. Their blood pact, when they swore not to fight each other. If Albus can destroy it, then he will be able to fight him.

Queenie and Credence live with Grindelwald now, and Grindelwald calls Credence Aurelius Dumbledore.

The end.
