The Wizarding World prepares for the global wizarding war in the latest official trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
Much like the film's first official trailer, which was released back in December, the new Secrets of Dumbledore trailer follows our magical heroes as they prepare to combat the growing forces of the villainous wizard known as Gellert Grindelwald (Mad Mikkelsen). The footage highlights the dark wizard's growing influence in the Wizarding World as Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) recruits a team of allies to challenge his nemesis' plan. Fans will undoubtedly recognize several characters from the previous films, including Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and his loyal friend Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler) who is seemingly inducted into the world of magic as he gets his own wand.
The third entry in the Fantastic Beasts series of Harry Potter prequel movies, The Secrets of Dumbledore is scheduled to hit theaters in the United Kingdom on Friday, April 8 and in the United States on Friday, April 15. Set in the 1930s amid the lead-up to World War II, the film sees a young Albus enlist a group of witches and wizards in a bid to take down Grindelwald.
Leading the charge in The Secrets of Dumbledore is series protagonist Newt, a magizoologist and the author of the fictional book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which would go on to become required reading for the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Newt is joined by his Auror brother Theseus Scamander (Callum Turner), his assistant Bunty (Victoria Yeates) and his muggle friend Jacob, as well as Yusuf Kama (William Nadylam) -- a French wizard of Senegalese descent -- and Professor Lalie Hicks (Jessica Williams) -- a teacher at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The Secrets of Dumbledore also stars Ezra Miller as Aurelius Dumbledore/Credence Barebone, Alison Sudol, as Queenie Goldstein, Poppy Corby-Tuech as Vinda Rosier, Richard Coyle as Aberforth Dumbledore, Maria Fernanda Cândido, as Vicência Santos, Oliver Masucci as Vogel, Fiona Glascott as Minerva McGonagall, Aleksandr Kuznetsov as Helmut, Dave Wong as Liu Tao and Katherine Waterston as Tina Goldstein.
