The 1920s-set, pre-Potter "Wizarding World" adventures for magical zoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) continue, as he's exhorted by the young Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) to head to Paris and undermine the authoritarian power grab of cunning and charismatic renegade wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp). J.K. Rowling and David Yates return as screenwriter and director; Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Ezra Miller, Alison Sudol, and Zoë Kravitz also star. 134 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
