I can hardly contain my excitement for the second installment of JK Rowling’s latest addition to the Harry Potter universe and the Fantastic Beasts movie series, “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.” The first movie, starring Eddie Redmayne, explored the wizarding world in the 1920s in a time of the rise of an evil wizard and Dumbledore’s old friend, Grindelwald. We meet the the kind magizoologist Newt Scamander with his briefcase full of a world of magical creatures. Scamander returns in this movie, after being mysteriously set up to the task by Dumbledore, to fight Grindelwald. The stakes are supposed to be higher and more thrilling in the second movie of the series. I can’t wait to see what story Rowling weaves us this time. The movie is playing in most films in the area, most closely in Rave Cinemas Ann Arbor 20 to campus.
