Final 'Crimes of Grindelwald' trailer is bursting with game-changing Harry Potter clues
Watch Next

It may be set decades before Harry Potter was even born, but Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindewald sets the stage for Harry's epic story. The final trailer for The Crimes of Grindelwald is chock-full of Harry Potter Easter eggs (and those crazy beasts).

The Crime of Grindelwald finds Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) recruited by his old professor, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) to investigate the increasingly powerful dark wizard Grindelwald (Johnny Depp).

The first jaw-drop Potter moment is Credence (Ezra Miller) addressing Maledictus (Claudia Kim) as she turns into a snake: "Nagini." (!!!)

We see Grindelwald using the Elder Wand, flashbacks to young Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and some of the best wizard dueling since Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

The new trailer also features more of Nicholas Flamel (Brontis Jodorowsky), of Leta Lestrange (Zoe Kravitz) and Theseus Scamander (Callum Turner) – and notably, barely any of Fantastic Beasts heroes Jacob (Dan Fogler), Tina (Katherine Waterston), and Queenie (Alison Sudol).

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald premieres Nov. 16.
