J.K. Rowling's five-film Fantastic Beasts adventure series continues with the original screenplay for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of GrindelwaldAt the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was captured in New York with the help of Newt Scamander. But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escapes custody and sets about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald's plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists Newt, his former Hogwarts student, who agrees to help once again, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world. This second original screenplay from J.K. Rowling, illustrated with stunning line art from MinaLima, expands on earlier events that helped shape the wizarding world, with some surprising nods to the Harry Potter stories that will delight fans of both the books and films.

"Book 1 Fantastic Beasts - Diving deeper into the deathly hallows backstory with Dumbledore and Grindlwald"
Nicole Sinders
"After reading all 3 screenplays in less than 3 days, obviously I was hooked. This series puts the wizarding world in a different light. We really get the insight on Dumbledore. I couldn’t watch the movies at first, but after reading the screenplays, I wanted to go back and watch. So much more made sense!"

""Oh, Newt. you never met a monster you couldn't love."<br/><br/>"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" by J.K. Rowling continues from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them where Grindelwald escapes, Dumbledore asks Newt to stop Grindelwald, and we learn many things including about Grindelwald. <br/><br/>I would give "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" by J.K. Rowling a 5-star review because, 1; I love the cover and the art 2; I love how this novel is written in the format as a screenplay 3; I could really picture the story in my head like the first novel 4; I hated Dumbledore just as I did in the HP books 5; I hated that it ended on a cliffhanger and the plot twist right at the ending."
