Harry Potter fans get ready, Warner Bros. has released new set photos for the upcoming second instalment of Fantastic Beasts coming later in 2018, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

The latest batch of images show Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander getting a postcard from Paris where the new film is largely set, and then Newt and Jacob (Dan Fogler) on the streets of France’s capital in 1927, one year after the events of the first movie.

Earlier this month, we got a glimpse of Jude Law’s Dumbledore, who’s pictured in an office. But who is the mystery man behind him? Many social media users are speculating he could be the one and only Nicholas Flamel, AKA the man who discovered the Elixir of Life and co-created the Philosopher’s Stone with Dumbledore.

And who can forget the man responsible for all the havoc in the first instalment, Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp). After escaping MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America) custody, he’s pictured here with his loyal follower Vinda Rosier, played by Poppy Corby-Tuech.

At a fan Q&A last year, director, David Yates, promised a “grittier” film.

“The first film had a level of whimsy; the characters felt like children in grown-up bodies,” he said.”In this movie, it gets grittier and more nuanced and detailed. It’s quite a romantic film, it’s a thriller, it’s quite an interesting combination of genres you rarely see together. I think it will surprise people.”

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be released on November 16, 2018.
