Because the mad wizard can see the future, Dumbledore sends each member down their dangerous pathway, unallowed to reveal their orders to anyone.
Determined to expose Grindelwald, Dumbledore amasses his “army,” including Newt, Newt’s brother Theseus (Callum Turner), Yusef Kama (William Nadylam), Bunty Broadacre (Victoria Yeates), new witch Lally (Jessica Williams), and Newt’s friend/muggle Jacob (Dan Fogler). Furthermore, there is an election for the new president of Wizards (I’m sure I have this title wrong), and Grindelwald has added himself to the list of candidates, and if he wins, he’ll usher in a new era of fascist magic. The prologue of The Secrets of Dumbledore is all a setup to reveal that the Ministry of Magic has refused to prosecute Grindelwald, making him a free man. “…Grindelwald has amassed a large following intent on unveiling the existence and power of wizards and witches to the world. Then, in a heinous act, Grindelwald kills the Qilin, giving him the ability to see the future. As the fawn is being delivered, Newt is attacked by Grindelwald’s henchmen, who steal the baby Qilin and kill its mother. Progressing the story forward, the beloved Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) is helping with the birth of the rare beast, the Qilin (pronounced Chillin). Because Dumbledore and Grindelwald swore their love for one another long ago through a blood oath, this magical charm prevents either of them from attacking one another directly. Now it’s up to Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) to foil Grindelwald’s plans. Crazed Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen) has amassed a large following intent on unveiling the existence and power of wizards and witches to the world.
Quick recap: angry, magic-using orphan Credence (Ezra Miller) is revealed to be Aurelius Dumbledore, the long-lost brother of Albus. Seeing all three films so close together helped get me into this new world of J.K. In fact, I just recently binged Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Crimes of Grindelwald before seeing Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, which takes place not long after the second one.
