Average rating3.9
The powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald has been 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 up pure-blood wizards 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.
*Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald* is the second screenplay in the five-film series to be written by J.K. Rowling, author of the internationally best-selling Harry Potter books. Set in 1927, a few months after the events of *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*, and moving from New York to London, Paris, and even back to Hogwarts, this story of mystery and magic reveals an extraordinary new chapter in the wizarding world.

I read this mostly because of nostalgia. I can't really recommend it, even if it was cute at times
First, let me say that I LOVE the cover soo much, the illustrations inside too! I didn't know this was an s screenplay, I thought it was just a book. But, boy I loved it! It was soo cool, Newt was an interesting character. I really liked that we see the wizarding world as other than. just England and Hogwarts. Seeing how it works in the US was very interesting. It was too short, but of course, as it's a movie... I will watch the movie for sure. It interesting bunch of characters... Recommend to all HP wizarding world fans. Also, let me just brag that we Ravenclaws won the Quiz Championship, lol.
I don't know how J. K. Rowling does it, but I was totally immersed in the story. Reading was like being INSIDE the book. It was totally amazing!!!!!!! It's one of my favorites by far.
