[object Object]

In an effort to thwart Grindelwald's plans of raising pure-blood wizards to rule over all non-magical beings, Albus Dumbledore enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, though he's 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. —sunny skies

Trivia
Tom Riddle (Lord Voldemort) is estimated to be less than a year old when this movie takes place. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), which takes place in 1992, the Chamber is said to had been opened 50 years prior, i.e. in 1942. It is also said that Tom Riddle turned 16 that same year, so he must have been born in 1926. Since this movie is set in 1927, Tom would be one year old by the end of that year.

Goofs
According to the books and Pottermore.com (site created by JK Rowling herself), Minerva McGonagall was born in 1935 and first started teaching at Hogwarts in 1956, when she was 21 years old. Even though the movie is set in 1927, eight years before her birth, she appears as a young professor in Hogwarts.

Quotes
Leta Lestrange: You're too good, Newt. You never met a monster you couldn't love.

Alternate versions
An extended cut runs ~7 minutes longer.

Connections
Featured in The Graham Norton Show: Eddie Redmayne/Jude Law/Melissa McCarthy/Emma Stone/Rick Astley (2018)

3/10

The magic has gone

A totally dysfunctional and unrelated cast, an incomprehensible story and tons and tons of computer graphics. The result is a confusing and totally boring movie. A waste of money.
