Countless Muggle, and No-Maj, moviegoers will no doubt sit through the credits of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, hoping for one final spark of magic, or at least a tease for the third installment of J.K. Rowling's series. However, they're in for a letdown.

That's because director David Yates' Fantastic Beasts sequel doesn't have a mid- or post-credits scene; it simply ends with the Warner Bros. Pictures logo.

Perhaps that shouldn't come as a surprise, even considering the growing popularity of such stingers at the end of Hollywood blockbusters, popularized by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After all, 2016's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them didn't contain a post-credits scene.

However, the technique isn't exactly foreign to Rowling's Wizarding World: 2002's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets included an after-credits scene featuring Kenneth Branagh's Gilderoy Lockhart, and 2004's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban conclude with Daniel Radcliffe's character saying "Mischief managed," and then "Nox," followed by the playing of "Pettigrew’s Theme."

So, two films out of 10 (and counting) have included some sort of stinger, but The Crimes of Grindelwald most certainly does not. That means you're free to slip out of the theater and grab that mug of butterbeer, or stake out a corner of the lobby for that immediate after-movie discussion group. Or, hey, get back in line to buy a ticket for the next showing.

You'll have plenty of time to dissect the ending, even without the aid of an extra scene, as the third chapter in the planned five-movie Fantastic Beasts series won't arrive in theaters until Nov. 20, 2020.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is expected to open this weekend with a worldwide box office of somewhere between $250 million and $275 million. An estimated $65 million to $70 million will come from North America, short of the $74.4 million domestic debut in 2016 of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but almost certainly enough to place the Warner Bros. franchise on the path toward the sequel -- or, rather, sequels.

Opening Friday nationwide, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is directed by David Yates from a script by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. The film stars Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law, Johnny Depp, Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler, Ezra Miller, Zoë Kravitz, Fiona Glascott and Callum Turner.
