Annotation
J.K. Rowling's five-film Fantastic Beasts adventure series
continues with the original screenplay for Fantastic Beasts: The
Crimes of Grindelwald
Summary
At the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the powerful
Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was captured in New York with the
help of Newt Scamander. But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald
escapes custody and sets 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 enlists Newt, his former Hogwarts student, who agrees to help once again, 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.
This second original screenplay from J.K. Rowling, illustrated with stunning line art from MinaLima, expands on earlier events that helped shaped the wizarding world, with some surprising nods to the Harry Potter stories that will delight fans of both the books and films.
