FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE starts in the jungles of Bhutan with Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) helping a qilin, a magical creature that can see into one’s soul as well as the future, give birth. Gellert Grindelwald’s (Mads Mikkelsen) disciples, led by Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller), attack, kill the mother, and kidnap the newborn, who Grindelwald kills to harness its ability of precognition. After escaping with his life, Newt and his brother Theseus (Callum Turner) are recruited by Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law), who is unable to fight Grindelwald due to a blood pact. Along with the two American mage Lally Hicks (Jessica Williams), Senegalese-French mage Yusuf Kama (William Nadylam), and American No-Maj Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler) join the team to thwart Grindelwald’s plan for world domination. Meanwhile, Grindelwald has sent Credence, to assassinate Dumbledore before the leaders of the wizarding world gather in Bhutan, where the new Supreme Head is to be elected by the ancient tradition of being found worthy by a qilin, who bows to those, pure of heart. Using necromancy, Grindelwald has the qilin it bow to him, thus manipulating the election. He immediately declares war on all muggles and tortures Jacob for trying to assassinate him. Will Albus’ team of mages and no-maj be able to stop Grindelwald’s rise, will Credence finally find out who he is, will Grindelwald be elected as the leader of the Supreme Head are some of the questions that make up the rest of the film.
