Here’s the official new plot description, which along with the character descriptions further below contain several nuggets that haven’t been confirmed before — such as officially announcing the return of Ezra Miller as Credence: “At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, 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.”

And if I'm not mistaken, I do believe that Scamander very strongly suggested in the first one that there was honor among turd burglars between he and Dumbledore. Will this be the first major depicting of gayness for children's consumption? Eh? Eh?

I thought the first one was okay. Many here hated it, but it was a fun reminder of the great world created by Rowling. It wasn't as good as Potter, but it was not bad. This one seems like a less dark and sinister version of Voldemort, though. Dark wizard. Gathering followers. Pretty much thee same thing, only with Depp instead of Feinnes. Still, I'll likely watch it, especially if the redhead is back.
