A safe house in Paris

Dumbledore gives Newt an address for a safe house in Paris. Could this be how Newt and Jacob end up in wizened famed alchemist Nicolas Flamel’s home?

"Nagini"

Fans were right: Claudia Kim’s character, a circus performer, is revealed to be Voldmort’s serpent. Kim tells us her character is the victim of a blood curse who can transform from human to snake at will and is trying to avoid her fate of becoming a full-time snake.

Tracking Credence

This is Yusuf Kama (William Nadylam), a French-African wizard who’s been trying to find Credence for an unknown reason. Later we see him assembled with the good guys.

Grindelwald’s escape

Credit: Warner Bros.

New details from the Dark Wizard’s escape, which apparently involve filling a carriage with water and possibly downing its occupants. We’ve also seen a shot of him being transported in a carriage. Is this how he dispatches the Aurors guarding him?

The Great Hall returns

Credit: Warner Bros.

We already knew The Crimes of Grindelwald would head back to Hogwarts, but it seems we also will get a scene in the Great Hall.

Conductor of death

Some stronger sense of Johnny Depp’s portrayal of Grindelwald. Combined with James Newton Howard’s riveting violin score, this gives the dark wizard a serious conductor vibe.

Assassination?

Credit: Warner Bros.

We knew Dumbledore was tasking Newt to “move against” Grindelwald, but apparently that his mission is darker than we suspected. We’ve also learned in Monday's character posters that Dumbledore is “under surveillance” (By the Ministry? But for what?) which is perhaps why he needs Newt to do this himself.

Circus Arcanus

A traveling circus in Europe with “freak shows” that include a transforming Nagini. A fugitive Credence Barebone also works here under a tyrannical Circus Master.

There’s Quidditch!

Credit: Warner Bros.

A very quick shot at Hogwarts reveals Harry Potter's favorite sport is being played in the background. But what are the students running to (or from)?

Paris cloaked

What’s going on with these black cloaks? We assume this is some dark magic from Grindelwald. They almost look like Dementors at first glance. Some have speculated this could be a massive lethifold, but we’re told it’s not.

Queenie’s dark path

Credit: Warner Bros.

Tina’s sister and Jacob’s love interest was a ray of sunshine in the first film. We’ve barely seen her in the new film’s trailers and when we do she’s looking distressed. Her character poster yesterday hints she’s gone missing. That symbol she’s reaching out to is a raven.

Young Grindelwald

Credit: Warner Bros.

We’re going to get a flashback with young Grindelwald and Dumbledore as the onetime friends gaze into the Mirror of Erised. Remember though, Grindelwald didn’t go to Hogwarts, but rather went to — and was ultimately expelled from — Durmstrang. (Fun fact, the actors playing teenage Dumbledore and Grindelwald also played them in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1).

This is a Zouwu

Credit: Warner Bros.

A terrifying Chinese creature, the same one flowing ribbon like in the streets, but Newt considers him to be like “a big kitten”

A major moment

Credit: Warner Bros.

Creadence looking anxiously back at Nagini with Grindelwald in the background … is he making a pivotal choice?

15 of 20

Riding the Kelpi

Credit: Warner Bros.

Here Newt is actually pursuing Grindelwald with the help of a Scottish water creature.

Seriously, Queenie, we’re worried

Credit: Warner Bros.

Why do you hurt?

Dumbledore casts a spell

Credit: Warner Bros.

Your favorite Defense Against the Dark Arts professor casts a spell for his class. Jude Law told us he doesn’t get to do much magic in this film, so this is rare.

18 of 20

Theseus gets tied up

Credit: Warner Bros.

Suspicions that Newt and his Ministry of Magic Auror brother might not be on the same page are seemingly confirmed here, but we also see them fighting together.

Continued on next slide.

Kappa on dry land

Credit: Warner Bros.

According to Pottermore, this golden ghost-like creature is a Kappa, a dangerous water demon, so it’s odd that it’s on land.

A gathering of heroes?

Very interesting to see Nagini joined here with Newt, Jacob, Tina, and Theseus. But wait ... isn’t there somebody missing? For more, check out our exclusive interview with Kim talking about her role as Nagini or check out our gallery of character posters.
