Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be the title of the Harry Potter spinoff sequel, which is starting to take shape.

The magizoological exploits of Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander continue in this sequel to the 2016 Harry Potter movie series spinoff, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. While it reunites Newt with American friends Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), Queenie Goldstein (Alison Sudol) and muggle Jacob Kowalski (Dan Folger), the stakes will rise significantly as Johnny Depp's Gellert Grindelwald steps into the sinister spotlight, concocting a dangerous new plot. Thankfully, a younger version of the sagely Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) will help tackle this threat.

David Yates, who helmed the last four Harry Potter films, as well as Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, is directing this movie.
