theradicalchild: (Hopus Pocus)


The first Fantastic Beasts sequel focuses on magizoologist Newt Scamander as he joins then-Hogwarts-Headmaster Albus Dumbledore (back in 1927) to chase down escaped dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald as he tries to amass a pure-blood wizarding army in a more-divided wizarding world. The visual direction and continuity nods to the Harry Potter books and movies are good, along with some decent twists, but the film doesn't actually have a lot to do with the eponymous "crimes" of the titular sorcerer, and his motivations at points are actually just, given his foretelling of the Second World War among Muggles, for instance.
