Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
In an effort to thwart Grindelwald's plans of raising pure-blood wizards to rule over all non-magical beings, Albus Dumbledore enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, though he's 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.

Great movie, but a little hard to follow. In particular how they led Credence to the Lestrange family, but then took him out of it... It's too bad they didn't get to continue the story, I'd really like to know who Credence was really. Also I was hoping for a connection to Bellatrix Lestrange. And I have to say, the whole thing with Dumbledore being gay was JK Rowling's attempt to retcon her stories to be more woke. It's OK to have straight characters be straight. Not EVERY story has to include the LGBTQ angle.
