Newt and Dumbledore in London
*Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Crimes of Grindelwald
He may be off to Paris, but we also see Newt in London, atop St Paul’s rooftop to secretly meet with Dumbledore. In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, we learnt that Dumbledore made a strong case for Newt not to be expelled from Hogwarts – so we know the professor thought fondly of his former student. And on a completely unrelated note: we love Dumbledore’s pork pie hat.
Grindelwald is free

Well, it looks like Grindelwald didn’t stay arrested for very long. In this shot, we see the Dark wizard in front of a huge crowd. He is also accompanied by a well-dressed witch carrying what looks like an orb. We’ve seen magical orbs represented as prophecies before, so that might be worth thinking about…
As for the lady in question, we’ve seen her in previously released photos: this character looks like Vinda Rosier (Poppy Corby-Tuech). Harry Potter fans will recognise the last name Rosier – it was the name of one of Voldemort’s Death Eaters. Dark arts must run in the family.
Tina and Queenie in Paris
*Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Crimes of Grindelwald
After an emotional goodbye between Newt and Tina at the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Tina is now seen in Paris. Has she joined him?

And it looks like Queenie (Alison Sudol) has followed suit. We’re thrilled to see the Goldstein sisters back in the throng, but they do look rather concerned. What’s going on, ladies?
