![]() ![]() At the very end of the first film, it appeared as if Credence was killed by MACUSA aurors. Credence murdered Mary Lou and destroyed half of New York City, temporarily outing wizards to No-Majs. Most Obscurials die before the age of seven or eight, but Credence was powerful that he was able to use his Obscurus as a deadly force. Because Credence was forced to keep his powers hidden, he became an Obscurial. This cruel tyrant, Mary Lou Barebone, beat the children she adopted and forced them to hand out pamphlets for the Second Salemers, an anti-witchcraft organization.He worked for Percival Graves aka Grindelwald to try to find the Obscurial, but it was him all along. In the first Fantastic Beasts film, we met poor Credence (Ezra Miller) in New York City when he was living under his adopted mother’s roof. These Fantastic Beasts films are supposed to lead up to Dumbledore’s very famous 1945 duel with Grindelwald in which he defeats the dark wizard. ![]() It’s implied from the trailers that his feelings are keeping Dumbledore from facing his former friend head on, so he sends former pupil Newt Scamander in his stead. Dumbledore and Grindelwald had a very close relationship and most likely a romance when they were teenagers. Dumbledore is very aware that Grindelwald is gaining power. From the trailer, it seems like he’s the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, though Potter fans remember that he originally taught Transfiguration. Dumbledore isn’t yet the Headmaster of Hogwarts. He’s nearly 70 years younger in The Crimes of Grindelwald… and he’s kinda hot? Jude Law takes up Dumbledore’s mantle in this film. The Dumbledore you remember has a long, gray beard and half-moon glasses and is a kind, powerful grandfatherly figure. Scamander was expelled from Hogwarts, and Dumbledore argued against it, so Scamander kind of owes Dumbledore one. This is extraordinarily difficult task is put on his shoulders by his former Hogwarts professor Albus Dumbledore. In Crimes of Grindelwald, Scamander is asked to go to Paris to track down the somehow-still-alive Credence and face Grindelwald if need be. He revealed Graves’s true identity: Gellert Grindelwald. After auror Percival Graves went on a rant about why wizards should live out in the open, the young Scamander realized that he might be someone else. Despite their best efforts, they couldn’t save him. He and his friends came across an Obscurial, a wizard who had developed a dark parasitic magical force. Instead, he accidentally unleashed them all over New York City and got himself into trouble with the Magical Congress of the United States (MACUSA). This magizoologist came over to America with his case full of magical creatures, so he could release Frank, the Thunderbird, into the wilds of Arizona. Newt (Eddie Redmayne) was the main protagonist in the first movie Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. We’re here to refresh your memory and make your Crimes of Grindelwald viewing experience more enjoyable with this crib sheet. Some of new characters are also slyly the ancestors of not-yet-born, future Death Eaters. Old characters are getting reintroduced by new actors who are playing their younger selves. Unless you spend your days reading Fantastic Beasts theories, it might get a little confusing. Magic is already a little confusing, but even muggle Jacob Kowalski is going to be very overwhelmed by all of these new faces. Of course, most of these characters are sneakily connected to Harry Potter characters as well. For better or worse, Rowling just threw fans in the deep end and dove into her new story, adding characters left and right. ![]() This is exactly the opposite of what Fantastic Beasts did. As Harry learned more about the extraordinary world, we were right there with him. Rowling slowly waded us into the wizarding world with Harry Potter, adding more and more characters gradually. ![]()
